Summary

Together, with Fr. Mike, we begin our examination of the Third Person of the Holy Trinity, the Holy Spirit, and how God reveals himself as the Holy Spirit in our lives. Fr. Mike emphasizes the words of St. Irenaeus that, “in order to be touched by Christ, we must first be touched by the Holy Spirit.” We also explore eight ways the Catechism lays out for us to be able to understand the Holy Spirit. Today’s readings are Catechism Paragraphs 683-688.

0:00.0	Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz and you're listening to The Catechism in a Year Podcast,
0:09.2	where we encounter God's plan of sheer goodness for us, revealed in Scripture and passed down
0:13.7	through the tradition of the Catholic faith. The Catechism in a Year is brought to you by Ascension.
0:17.6	In 365 days, we'll read through the Catechism of the Catholic Church, discovering our identity in
0:22.9	God's family as we journey together toward our heavenly home, Is Is Day 97. We are reading paragraphs
0:28.6	683-688 just the beginning, the intro on the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity. I

0:58.5	we're beginning, I believe, in the Holy Spirit. And just remarkable. I love, oh my gosh, you guys,

1:13.6	by this recognition of the Holy Spirit. The very first line we're going to hear in paragraph 683 is,
1:19.9	no one can say Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. So it's the same Paul wrote to the
1:24.7	Corinthians. And this recognition, he also wrote to the Galatians, God has sent the Spirit of His
1:29.8	Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father. And we recognize that in order to be in touch with Christ,
1:36.0	we must first have been touched by the Holy Spirit. This is going to be so remarkable for us. I
