One of the primary objectives of the year of Faith is simply about rediscovering the journey of faith in the Catholic church with renewed vigor, love and enthusiasm for the church. During this year we're asked not to just receive the Body and Blood of Christ during the Eucharist but to receive it and allow it to be apart of us as we continue to grow in faith and love for the Holy Catholic Church.
However, this is only the beginning of what is asked of us. This poster taken from CTS Catholic Compass sums it up nicely.
The Year of Faith also has its own logo.
It is composed of a square, bordered field on which a boat, symbolizing the Church, is represented as sailing on a graphically minimal representation of waves. The main mast of the boat is a cross from which sails are displayed in the form of dynamic signs which compose the trigram of Christ (IHS). The background to the sails is a sun which, associated with the trigram, refers also to the Eucharist.
