Hi there, I just wanted to hop in real quick to tell you about a great way to listen to both Bible in a year and Catechism in ear.

It's called the Ascension app.

Not only does the app contain the entirety of both podcasts, it also includes transcripts of each episode,

the full text of the Great Adventure Bible and the Ascension Catechism, over 1,000 answers to tough Bible questions we couldn't get to in the podcast,

bonus content from the Bible and your companion, and so much more. This app really enhances the

experience of the podcast and helps you get more out of the Bible and Catechism. I highly encourage

you to check it out in the app store. Just search Ascension app or text the letters APP to the number 71391 to get a download

link sent directly to your phone. Thank you so much again for being part of this community.

And God bless.

Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Catechism in a Year podcast,

where we encounter God's plan of sheer goodness for us, revealed in scripture, passed down to the

tradition of the Catholic faith. The Catechism in a year is brought to you by ascension.

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. This is Day 359. We're reading paragraphs 2803 to 2806. As always, I'm using the Ascension edition of the Catechism, which includes the foundations of faith approach. But you can follow along with any recent version of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. You can also download your own catechism in a year reading plan by visiting ascensionpress.com slash CIY, and you can click follow or subscribe

in your podcast app for daily updates and daily notifications. Today's 359. Nass of work, people.

We're reading paragraph 2803, 2086. We're going on to the next, next article, essentially, the seven petitions. So we recognize that here in the Lord's prayer, in the Our Father, at first we say, Our Father, who art in heaven. And then we have these three petitions that are directed, carry us towards him. That's what it says in 2804. And they're for his own sake. We say, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done. So there's that sense of those first of these seven petitions. The first three are for his own sake. God, may your name be hallowed. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done. But the second series of petitions, the last four, we're praying for ourselves. In many ways, we're saying, give us this day this day our daily bread, forgive us our trespasses, lead us not a temptation, deliver us from evil. And there's something beautiful about this, that says they are in 2805. It says the fourth and fifth petitions concern our life as such to be fed and healed of sin. And the last two concern our battle for the victory of life, the battle, that battle of prayer, which I think is amazing. So the first two, give us this day or daily bread

and forgive us our trespasses, those that have to do with our life as such to be fed and healed

of sin. And the last two, lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, concern our

battle for the victory of life, that battle of prayer.

So great. So as we launch into these seven petitions, we're just going to talk. We have four

paragraphs quick before we even actually look at how it would be thy name. We're just going to look

at the structure a little bit here from paragraph 2803 to 2806. So as we look at structure,
