Summary

Diving into the Lord’s Prayer, we look at the origin, meaning, and significance of this prayer. The Catechism reveals the Our Father as “the summary of the whole Gospel” as it includes all that we believe. Fr. Mike helps us understand that this prayer focuses our hearts on the Father and prioritizes our desires. As we begin this prayer in the Father’s name, we know who we are addressing, and we know we can trust the Lord as our Father. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2759-2764.

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 Eir podcast, where we
0:09.6	encounter God's plan of sheer goodness for us, revealed in scripture and passed down through the
0:13.7	tradition of the Catholic faith. The Catechism in here is brought to you by ascension.
0:17.1	In 365 days, we'll read through the Catechism of the Catholic Church,
0:21.2	discovering our identity in God's family as we journey together toward our heavenly home.
0:25.2	This is Day 353. We're reading paragraphs 2759 to 2764. As always, I'm using the Ascension
0:31.7	edition of the Catechism, which includes a foundations of faith approach, but you can follow
0:35.4	along with any recent version of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. You can also download your own catechism in a year reading

0:51.3	But at this point, who even knows? Who even knows what you're going to do?
0:55.5	You know, unpredictable. That's what I'll say. All the catechism in your people, unpredictable.
1:01.1	Actually, you're not. It's the opposite of unpredictable, because here we are in day 353, and you're here,
1:05.6	as always, you're the most reliable, predictable people I know. This is incredible. You know, I don't know. At the end here, I'm getting punchy. And as we enter into today, section two, the Lord's Prayer, the Our Father,
1:15.8	today we're just teeing up the ball because we're recognizing the fact that here is Jesus, who is praying
1:21.1	in a certain place and his disciples come up to him and ask him, Lord, teach us to pray as John taught his disciples. And then in response, Jesus teaches them
1:29.7	the Lord's Prayer, right? The prayer that we call the Our Father. Now, a couple of the things
1:33.7	that we're going to go through here in paragraphs 2759 to 2764 is paragraph 2760, which is, I think
