2. What is Natural Law? Natural law is a moral code that God wants
humans to abide by.
Natural law refers to all of the
“fundamental rights and duties” God gave humans.
According to St. Thomas Aquinas, all humans were born with the ability to understand the “primary principles of natural law.”
St. Paul taught that the principles of natural law were written in our heart.

We can understand God’s expectations for us through listening to our conscience.
For example, when trying to foster healthy relationships, we can look no further than our conscience for guidance.
We are all rational beings.
We can use our ability to reason to comprehend God’s goals for us.
