  • Day 231: Our Calling (2025)

    Day 231: Our Calling (2025)
    Aug 19 2025
    As we step into Part Three of the Catechism on How We Live, we begin with an overview of our high calling as sons and daughters of God. Truly our “first and last point of reference” will always be “Jesus Christ himself, who is ‘the way, and the Truth, and the life.’” Fr. Mike identifies for us that when most people say, “I can’t accept what the Church teaches”, it’s rarely about dogma, like the Trinity or the divinity of Christ. More often than not, it’s about Christian morality, and that’s the journey we’re embarking on. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 1691-1698. 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.

    Day 230: How We Live (Part 3 Introduction with Dr. Mary Healy)
    Aug 18 2025
    The third part of the Catechism tells us how to live—how God has revealed that we are made to act toward him, toward each other, and toward ourselves. Fr. Mike and Dr. Mary Healy dive deep into moral theology, the state of our culture, and some of the stumbling blocks readers are bound to encounter in this part of the Catechism (as well as how to overcome them). 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.

  • Day 229: Christian Funerals (2025)

    Day 229: Christian Funerals (2025)
    Aug 17 2025
    In this final episode of Pillar 2, we learn about the Christian funeral rite. Fr. Mike explains how the new life begun in Baptism comes to greater fulfillment as the Christian passes over from this earthly life into the fullness of the Kingdom. The Church, who has sacramentally nourished her children throughout their earthly pilgrimage, upon their death commends them to the Father and places their bodies in the earth to await the resurrection in hope. Each funeral is to end with a farewell to the beloved dead, knowing that we still share communion in Christ and will reunite in our heavenly home. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 1680-1690. 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.

A invaluable learning opportunity to grow in faith and understanding of the Catholic Church. Including the history of the church and church tradition.

A priceless gift

I was baptized Anglican, a cross between Catholic and Protestant. I have leaned more Protestant and gather my learning from all the true trinitarian denominations. I am amazed at this Catechism and have gotten the book too. Every Christian can gain so much understanding from this podcast and the Catechism. And for all the Catholics I have run across who say they are not really being "fed" by the church... we'll dig into the Catechism as an adult and see how much you gain from it!

Every Christian needs this

I am enjoying the explanation of many parts of my Catholic faith that I don’t understand well.

Uplifting

I have been waiting for this to come out ever since I first heard it might be done. The enthusiasm of Fr. Mike Schmitz is perfect to accompany what might otherwise drift into dry pedagogy at times. I find joy in learning about the Catholic faith in many ways by sharing the journey with Fr. Mike. I also trust him to be a conscientious guide who will ensure I consider aspects of the faith that, left to my own reading, I would likely ignore or not realize.

I can't wait to share this journey with other listeners and my mother and I plan to listen each day and reflect on what we learn.

What a great way to start 2023!

-Michael Moore (Columbus, OH)

After doing BIAY 2 years in a row, I am excited that I continue my journey, diving even deeper into my faith with Fr. Mike.

First day of CIY

I'm learning so much about the Church that I didn't learn in my years of Catholic school. I'm so glad I decided to listen to my twin sister and start this journey. It is increasing my faith and explaining so much about the Church that I have always loved. I restarted the Bible in a Year as well which has made it even better.

The only drawback is the rapid speech of Fr. Mike so I have to stop and relisten as I take notes. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Today is day 88 and my audible app only goes to day 87 so the app isn't getting the updates. I'm having to go to Youtube to get today's excerpt. It happened last week, as well.

Thank you Fr. Mike and Ascension Press for this amazing resource. I'm praying for you as you are praying for me!
