Summary

The Catechism shows us how Baptism unites the Church as a “People of God of the New Covenant” and goes so far as to say that “Baptism constitutes the foundation of communion among all Christians.” We all belong to Jesus, together. Fr. Mike highlights the fact that with the gift of unity in Baptism comes real responsibility. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 1267-1274.

0:00.0	How my name is Father Mike Schmitz and you're listening to the Catechism in a Year podcast,
0:09.3	where we encounter God's plan of sheer goodness for us, revealed in Scripture and passed down
0:14.0	through the tradition of the Catholic faith. The Catechism in a Year is brought to you by Ascension.
0:18.0	In 365 days, we'll read through the Catechism of the Catholic Church discovering our identity
0:22.8	in God's family. As we journey together toward our Heavenly home, this is day 173,
0:26.9	reading paragraph 1267 to 1274, as always, I'm using the Ascension edition of the Catechism,
0:32.0	which includes the foundations of faith approach. But you can follow along with any recent version
0:36.2	of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. You can also download your own Catechism in a Year Reading

0:52.4	1274, as I said, we're in baptism. This is the last kind of article on baptism before we have a

1:16.7	a share in the priesthood of all believers. And also, because we're given a share in the priesthood
1:21.1	of all believers, because we've been incorporated into the Church, there is a sacramental bond of
1:25.6	unity among all Christians and even those who are not Catholic Christians. So if anyone is
1:30.5	baptized, there is this common bond. We have a common sonship, right? A common daughterhood,
1:35.1	a common brotherhood and sisterhood in our baptism. Lastly, there is an indelible spiritual mark that
1:41.6	is left on us that is indelible and unerasable. And we're going to talk about that today. As we
