Session 1 - Welcome and Introduction
Welcome to Session 1 of this 30-session program of recordings, Hearing Godโs Call: An Audio Introduction to the Catholic Faith. The series is produced by the National Centre for Evangelisation. The title of this session is Welcome and Introduction.
As you listen to this series of audio recordings you are invited to enter into a deep, rich and fulfilling relationship with God through the Catholic faith.
These recordings are designed to be listened to from beginning to end, at your own pace with each 10-minute session building on the sessions that have come before.
There are a broad range of topics explored in this program, which begins with stories of saints and heroes from the Bible and the history of the Church, moves then to examine some of the core beliefs of the Catholic Church before exploring the topic of prayer.
The program concludes with a session on the topic of Catholic social thought and offers some suggestions as to what resources you might want to get to assist you in your search for God who is calling you. -
Session 2 - Models of Faith in the Old Testament
Each of us is called by God to fulfil a particular mission or vocation. Our task is to respond to the call. In this session we explore stories of call as recorded in the Old Testament, the first part of the Bible. We begin with the call of Abram, later named by God, Abraham.

Session 3 - The Prophets - Faithful Witnesses to God
In this session we explore stories of call and response as proclaimed by the prophets in the Old Testament.
The prophets provide us with powerful examples of call and response in prayer and action. Each prophet writes of his experience in his own way. From the many great prophets we briefly examine four: Amos, Hosea, Jeremiah, and Micah. -
Session 4 - Stories of Call in the Gospels
This session explores stories of call as recorded in the Gospels, which are found in the second part of the Bible; the New Testament. The specific stories examined are the call from God to Mary through an angel, the call to Joseph in a dream and the call from Jesus to the first disciples.

Session 5 - Peter and Paul, Apostles of Jesus Christ
The Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ. The apostles Peter and Paul provided the foundation and vision for the Church to consolidate and grow through the exercise of pastoral care and authority and the clear articulation of teaching. The Church celebrates a combined feast day for Saints Peter and Paul on the 29th June each year.
