Summary
We know we can pray anywhere at any time, yet certain places are more favorable for prayer. There are also certain rhythms of prayer in the life of the Church that foster regular attention to the Lord. As Fr. Mike emphasizes with the Catechism, we can’t pray always “if we don’t pray at specific times.” Today Fr. Mike encourages us to find our place and time for prayer. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2691-2699.
This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Catechism in a Year podcast, |
| 0:09.6 | where we encounter God's plan of sheer goodness for us revealed in scripture and passed down through |
| 0:13.8 | the tradition of the Catholic faith. The Catechism in a year is brought to you by ascension. |
| 0:17.7 | In 365 days, we'll read through the Catechism of the Catholic Church, |
| 0:21.8 | discovering our identity and God's family as we journey together toward our heavenly home. This is Day |
| 0:25.6 | 345. We're reading paragraphs 2691 to 2699. As always, I'm using the Ascension edition of the |
| 0:31.8 | Catechism, which includes the Foundations of Faith Approach. But you can follow along with any recent |
| 0:36.4 | version of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. You can also download your own catechism in a year reading |

| 0:49.1 | it's day 345, which means what? It means that after this, we have 20 episodes to go. We are getting so close to |
| 0:56.1 | the end. And what a great gift has been to be able to journey with you. I am praying for you. |

| 1:08.8 | definitely could not have made it all the way |
| 1:10.8 | to date 345. Now, here's the thing about today. Yes, we've been doing this 345 days. Today we're doing |
| 1:17.5 | something we've never done before. And here's what we've never done before. We've never gone from |
| 1:21.5 | one article or one chapter to another chapter in the same episode. I don't know if you know this. I could be wrong on that because I have a bad memory. But here's what we're going to do. We're going to finish this |
| 1:30.9 | section that's on the guides for prayer. Yesterday we talked about servants of prayer, those people |
| 1:35.8 | who teach us how to pray. Today we're going to kind of conclude this section by looking at places |
| 1:41.1 | favorable for prayer. Like, where could you pray? |
| 1:48.7 | We're going to do some nuggets, and then we're actually going into chapter three on the life of prayer, just looking at those first three paragraphs on chapter three, the life of prayer. |
