Hi my name's Father Mike Schmitz and you're listening to the

Catechism in a year podcast where we encounter God's plan of sheer goodness

for us revealed in scripture and passed down through the

tradition of the Catholic faith. The Catechism in the year is brought to you by

ascension. In 365 days we'll read through the Catechism of the Catholic Church

discovering our identity and God's family as we journey together toward our heavenly home.

This is day 249. We are reading paragraphs 1877 to 1885. As always, I am using the ascension addition of the

Catechism, which includes a foundations of faith approach,

but you can follow along with any recent version of the Catechism, the Catholic Church.

You can also download your own Catechism and a year reading plan by visiting Ascension Press.
