Summary

We are all Catholic, but what does that mean? Join us as we dig into our Catholic identity this week and answer this question in a variety of ways. First, being Catholic means that we are sinners, but we have a savior. Next, being Catholic means that we belong to the Church that Christ founded. On Wednesday we explore how being Catholic means that we live the sacramental life. Thursday we look at the vast community we are part of as catholics, a community that reaches around the world and through time. Finally, on Friday, through the example of St. John Vianney, we are reminded that being Catholic means we that we are joyful, even amid suffering. May the discussion this week help us all reinvest in our identity as Catholics.

0:23.6	Today is Friday, August 4th, 2020.
0:27.2	Today is also the feast day of St. John Vienni, who is the patron saint of all parish priests.

0:46.5	Holy Spirit, amen. St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
0:57.4	May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God,
1:05.5	thrust into hell, Satan, and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
1:15.7	So all week we have been talking about what it means to be Catholic. To be Catholic means that we are
