0:00.0	Hi, 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
0:13.6	through the tradition of the Catholic faith. The Catechism in a Year is brought to you by Ascension.
0:17.4	In 365 days, we'll read through the Catechism of the Catholic Church discovering our identity
0:22.2	in God's family. As we journey together toward a heavenly home, this is day 273,
0:26.3	we're reading paragraphs 2095 to 2103, 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
0:35.6	of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. You can also download your own Catechism in a Year

1:16.6	like evangelical councils. Remember, I think we had a little lesson on that a few days ago,
1:21.5	little lesson, little days, and the words are like chastity, poverty, obedience, those are the
1:26.6	evangelical councils that sometimes people like promises about those things. I think vows
1:31.0	regarding poverty, chastity, and obedience. So we're looking at all of those, adoration, prayer,
1:35.8	sacrifice, as well as promises and vows. So that sums up some stuff in order to get ready for
1:42.2	today. Let us call upon the Lord and enter into prayer, Father in heaven. Because of Jesus,
