Summary

God’s love has no bounds, and neither should our prayer. Fr. Mike emphasizes that when we say “our” we are highlighting that we have become God’s people. We belong to God, not in a possessive way, but in an “entirely new relationship”. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2786-2793.

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,
0:09.1	where we encounter God's plan of sheer goodness for us, revealed in scripture, and passed down through the tradition of the Catholic faith.
0:15.3	The Catechism in New Year is brought to you by ascension.
0:17.3	In 365 days, we'll read through the Catechism of the Catholic Church discovering
0:21.4	our identity and God's family as we journey together toward our heavenly home. This is Day 357.
0:26.4	We're reading paragraphs 2786 to 2793. As always, I'm using the Ascension edition of the
0:31.9	Catechism, which includes the foundations of faith approach. But you can follow along with any recent
0:36.1	version of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. You can also download your own catechism in a year reading plan
0:40.3	to mark off these last nine days if you want by visiting ascensionpress.com slash cI. And you can

0:59.9	Remember those last two points of the gift of adoption requires on our part, this is paragraph 2784, the gift, free gift of adoption requires on our part continual conversion and new life.
1:11.0	Praying to our father should develop in us two fundamental dispositions.
1:15.0	First, the desire to become like him and second, a humble and trusting heart.
1:19.5	It's so good, so good.
1:21.3	Today we're emphasizing the first word in the Our Father, the Our part of the Our Father,
1:25.4	which makes sense that we hit it second. Well, A, because
1:28.4	in priority, right, the primary thing is, do we know to whom we are speaking? Do we know to whom we are
1:34.3	praying? We need to know God. As Christians, we need to know God as Father. But also our
1:40.7	makes sense. If we were saying the Lord's Prayer in Latin, it would be called the Paterster. And potter is the first word, and noster is the second word. So maybe it makes sense
