October 3, 2010 – Catechism 531-534

The hidden life of Christ helps us relate to Him better. How can something that is completely unknown help a person. We can see how He lived a normal everyday life of a human being. In doing so, He can better understand our needs and wants, better help us when we petition Him, and know when we are asking for things we really need or things we may just desire. The fact that God spent time on this earth as a human gives us confidence in being able to have a relationship with Him. He knows what we go through because He has walked in our shoes.
