Summary

When we pray the Our Father, we are invited to pray with “filial boldness” as children of God. Fr. Mike emphasizes that we are God’s adopted sons and daughters, and so because of that, we are able to call him “Abba, Father.” He also emphasizes that because of this adoption we are called to “continual conversion and new life.” Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2777-2785.

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,
0:09.3	where we encounter God's plan of sheer goodness for us, revealed in scripture and passed down through
0:13.3	the tradition of the Catholic faith. The Catechism in a year is brought to by ascension.
0:16.9	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.
0:24.6	This is Day 356.
0:25.9	We're in paragraphs 2777 to 2785.
0:29.0	As always, I'm using the Ascension edition of the Catechism, which includes the foundations of faith approach.
0:33.4	But you can follow along with any recent version of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, whatever version you like.
0:38.3	You can also download your own catechism in your reading plan by visiting atcensionpress.com

1:04.2	And I love the fact that you might miss this, especially if you have the Ascension Edition of
1:08.3	the Catechism, which I love. Again, I can't say enough about the Ascension Edition, but right underneath where it says, this is probably page 700,
1:15.4	if you're with the Ascension Edition, it says Article 2, Our Father Who Art in Heaven, and then
1:20.4	the next line is, in quotes, it says, we dare to say. And there's something so powerful about that. And just it doesn't even, I love it because in paragraph 2777, it highlights, yeah, we have filial boldness.
1:33.7	And we dare in all confidence that there's something remarkable.
1:37.3	It's crazy that if we stopped and thought about, wait a second, we get to stand in private or in public.
