Catholics believe the meaning of human life is to know and love God.
With love in Christ.

The meaning of life is both profound and simple.
It answers the order of creation, the motive of existence and the mystery of the universe to ourselves.
The meaning of life is:
Awareness Loves Life (A-L-L)
See: http://ucadia.org/uca/u23/230600.htm
Unfortunately, because we are life, we see the statement as
Life Loves Awareness (L-L-A).
But if you were able to comprehend just one thought of the universe from its perspective, then you'd see that the greatest expression of existence is life- that the key to life is existence.
That living is more important than knowing everything.
For example, there is a wonderful quote from buddhism-
before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water;
after enlightenment, chop wood and carry water.
Sadly, we sometimes are mistaken in believing that if we knew everything, our lives would be better. I can assure you that is not the case. Living is what counts.
All the very best.

This question has been asked many times and I really feel that each of us has to answer that for ourselves. To me, we are here to learn. We go through many ups and downs in life and the one thing they all have in common is that we learn something from everything we go through. We learn something about ourselves and others. We never stop learning no matter how old we get. I believe we are all God's children and He has a purpose for each of us and we each have to find that purpose for ourselves. That is what the meaning of life is to me.

Life is what you make of it. Sit around and hope or take a step and live it. Trial and error. Love and sadness -
just get out there and go.

the meaning? i have no clue. this is a philosophical question probably no one could answer.
as for the purpose, in my opinion, we are here to get saved and spread the word of Jesus Christ.
