- 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.
📖 Follow along with the official Catechism in a Year Reading Plan (AscensionPress...)
God reveals himself to man and gives us the capacity to know and love him beyond our own natural abilities. From the very beginning, even after the first sin of Adam and Eve, God made himself known to human beings and gave us a promise of redemption. Fr. Mike explains how God’s covenant with Noah offers hope for salvation and unity that are only made possible in Christ. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 50-58.
Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Yesterday i planned to wake up early today and do the ccc. But i snoozed my alarm clock and didn't want to wake up. Suddenly a fly appeared and disturbed my sleep that i had to wake up. I think that fly was a gods messenger.
Praying for all of you out there listening!
Thank you Elizabeth

God bless you Aussie.
I am in year one of Bible in a Year :3
@@AuroraBunny-fx8xs It's a beautiful journey listening to the Bible in a Year. 🙏🏻❤️
I am praying for you Father Mike and for this divided world we live in.
What I've learned:
1. Previous chapter: We know God from nature and reason. This is a limited understanding. It's knowing about God, the outer world of God. It's one way. It's what we perceive.
This chapter: We know God because God chose to reveal Himself to us. This goes beyond our understanding. It's actually knowing God, the inner world of God. It's two way because God, now reaches out to us to communicate His identity to us. It's what He describes Himself to be. This is not our initiation. This is Divine Revelation.
God revealed Himself through Jesus, His Son and through the Holy Spirit.
2. Dei Verbum (DV)
Dei = God (similar to Deo, Diety, Theo)
Verbum = Word (similar to verbal, verbatim)
The Second Vatican Council came up with two dogmatic constitutions:
a) Dei Verbum (which means Word of God)
b) Lumen Gentium (... we'll hear more of this soon)
3. DV says that, rephrased, God revealed Himself with the intention to have a relationship with us that will lead into us sharing in His divine nature. Short: He wants us to be like Him. He wants to love us and us to love Him.
4. God, who is holy, gave us free will so that we will reason through and choose Him. He wants us to know and love Him, beyond our natural capacity, aided by His grace, in a gradual manner, part by part.
5. This is ultimately done through His Son. Jesus is the link. Jesus became man so that He could link (reconcile) man to God, God to man.
6. Since it's in a gradual manner, He took it in stages of revelations.
a. Adam and Eve
b. Noah
God proved His existence by created realities (earth) and gave Adam and Eve grace and justice to be in an intimate communion with Him. Even after the Fall, God never stopped loving us, promising, to bring salvation and eternal life to those who do good and sought after Him to save them.
The act of promising is better expressed as covenant. He made a convenant with Noah.
Gen 9:9, 16
9 “Behold, I establish my covenant with you and your descendants after you, ...
16 I will look upon it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature...
7. Principle of divine economy.
Simply said: What God's tactical plan to win the human race?
Simple answer: One family at a time. For starters: Noah's crib...
By this time, the condition of humanity is already corrupted by sin, riddled with polytheism, idolatry and paganism.
The covenant of Noah remained in force until the Gospel of Jesus Christ arrived. It basically means 'live a righteous live until Jesus comes and safe you.'
Father,
Your intention for us is good. Your intention is good because you love us. May we not miss this point. Thank You for reaching out to us. Thank You for revealing Your heart and Your identity to us. Keep revealing Your heart and Your identity to us. So, that we can know You and love You as You are. Thank You for loving us as we are. We pray for all to come to know Your love and to be loved by You. Amen.
Thanks! You helped me understand paragraph 56. But how could the "unity" of the human race have been shattered by sin when there were, as yet, only 2 people?
Paragraph 57: how is the division of nations "cosmic"?
Paragraph 58: does the Church recognize the Noahide laws, which are actually found in the Babylonian Talmud?
Thank you father Mike Schmitz for day 7 of the catechism.Amen
Please pray daily for world peace and the Chaplet Of Divine Mercy for the conversion of poor sinners and for the forgotten souls in purgatory. Jesus I Trust In You
O mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse to thee.
Day 7 takeaways: God wants us to know Him so we can love Him and serve Him in this world and so we can live with Him forever in Heaven. God did not abandon us because of our sin. He redeemed humanity from death. He continues to reach out to all people, in all times and in all places. When I taught CCD, I told my students that God does not abandon us when we sin, but rather it is us that leaves Him. God’s love is like the sun and when we sin, it’s like we put up an umbrella and can’t feel His love.
Wow I love this ! 🕊️❤️

This is exactly the question I had several months ago, why did God take his time revealing Himself and saving humanity? Now I have the answer.

I never thought about those who were Gentiles yet God was part of their lives: Abel the just, Melchizedek, Noah, Daniel, and Job.
Made to 7. May my pride not impede my progress as in Bible in a Year.
Thank you Father Mike! You are in my prayers 🙏🏼 ✝️
I'm going to do my best to keep up with the catechism, although a lot of it is going over my head.
You have to tap into the philosophical part of your mind.
Don’t worry, mine too. I’m praying some will stick and we’ll surprise ourselves at some point ❤
Please pray for my friend, an agnostic who has multiple myeloma. Thanks!

This is so wonderful
We need this refresher course on the catechism. Thank you Fr Mike
Awesome!
Thank you 🙏❤
I’m praying for you at adoration today
God revealed Himself to man in stages, and still continues to do so today.
Thank you Fr. Mike. It was so great to remind us the Baltimore Cathechism. I am one of those who went through the Baltimore Catechism. This Cathechism is elaborating in depth what we learned when we were younger and very much in line with our Scripture. We are so blessed to have this enormouse treasure in our Church. God bless Fr. Mike and God bless us all as well who are going through this wonderful expereince.
Father Mike Schmitz it is so true that God loves us and He keeps calling us to come back to Him. I have witnessed this myself. It's a self experience for me. God bless you all. Today is day 7 of The #CIY #2023
After doing the Bible in a year podcast two years in a row I am so thankful to be doing this new podcast with Father Mike Schmitz and Ascension Press. Viva Cristo Rey. 🙏😇👼❤️❤️
Thanks every day I filled with such hope. There will days when we might run into a brickwall during this year, something that trips us up, something that challenges our perception and with which we will wrestle. We would not learn or grow if we did not have these moments, but it will all be worth the struggle. God bless us on this journey
Wow, here we are on Day 7! Trying not to get ahead of myself. Just enjoy the unfolding of the journey here with Father Mike and my Brothers & Sisters in Christ. Let's Gooooo!!!!
Amen, thank you for this teaching and reflection.
Amen 🙏.
Thank you father
I am actually translating in Spanish everyday all of the magnificent Father's Mike teachings as we are reading the catechism every day along with him in a youth group for adolescents (@missionruah). God bless Father Mike and all the team that make this posible, Glory to God 🥰
Amen. ❤
Hi everyone & Happy Day 7 from a snowy NY- 9” so far!🙏😊❄️
Brrrrr. Stay safe and warm. ❤🙏 41 in California and that's quite cold for us.

@@elizabethcronin3074 Oh my goodness! It does look so pretty when it's snowing. 🤍❄️ I've never driven in snow. 😄
🙋♀Elizabeth & All 😊Day 7 ❤🙏 Glad you are safe. The snow is pretty to look at, but I do not miss shoveling & driving in it.❄☃❄⛄
I thought I’d be starting my 3rd round of BIAY on Jan 1st. But the CIAY has sooo much to digest that I’m going to focus only on this for now. I could listen to Fr. Mike’s explanation on the daily readings more than once to absorb it all. so much here. God Bless You, Fr. Mike. You keep me coming back daily. Prayers for all following along for both BIAY and CIAY. What a blessing to this cradle catholic.
Hi Martha, me too, I was going to begin the BIAY again, but this CIAY is very rich, I agree. I too, and putting my full attention to just this CIAY, God Bless you and all of us on this beautiful journey!
Yes! Let's pray for each other, thank you Fr Mike 🙏
Thank you Father Mike!
God initiated a covenant with all life on earth through Noah saying,
And as for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you and with your descendants …. never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth…. I set My rainbow in the cloud …. I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth. - Genesis 9
So excited for Day 7! God bless you all🙏❤️
I am so thankful for you Fr. Mike. We all are Children of God and He truly wants all to live Him. This CIY is such a blessing. Thank you helping us deepen our faith. Sometimes I feel it is God talking to me through you. We need to remember all God has done and is doing to bring Him closer to us!
I had never heard of the word Catechism before you did this podcast.
I am loving this deepness of our faith thru the catechism made alive by Fr. Mike. I will def have to revisit this next year again. ❤️
❤️❤️🙏🏻
Thanks be to God who love us.
amen
It occurs to me that father Mike might be the second most famous Catholic (that's famous for being Catholic) besides the Pope. Pretty crazy.
There was a recent article in a Washington newspaper that stated the same thing. It said the new St. Paul was from Duluth. Unfortunately, when I read the comments they were all negative about the church, priests, etc. The only positive comment was from an atheist who had gone through Bible in a year. The comments showed how totally broken the world is. We all must pray very hard for conversions.
@@melindanelson854 it's terrible that we have to put up with all the hate. It seems like we the innocent are open to the temporal punishment for the ones who took part in the gravest of sins. It's as if the millstones were around our necks and we are drowning in the hate. I sent praying hands for Mike Jones' son with brain cancer and some hater Joe Young jumped all over me and the Church. It was really uncalled for. He called the Church a slut. I could have fought back but I just reminded him there are hate crime laws in this country. He sent back, "I hate what God hates," to which I sited 1st John 4:8 "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."
"...the pride of fallen humanity, united only in its perverse ambition." Wow
Yes.. the way he puts things across!
God bless you, Father Mike!
Thank be to God. Jesus I trust in you ❤❤❤❤
Praying for Fr. Mike & CIY 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, Fr Mike. Praying for you, and all on this journey. God Bless. Claire.
God pursues us relentlessly. He never gives up on us. He made us to know him love him and be with him forever in heaven
Made it here!
Lord, Matthew 7:7 says that when we seek you, we’ll find you. Thank you for always making yourself available to us and for gradually revealing yourself to us when we seek you. As you reveal yourself, may we respond to you, know you and love you more far beyond our natural capacity. In your great mercy, you’ve planned and promised us the gift of your salvation from the beginning of time. You never leave us nor forsake us. Unify us by your redeeming power. Help us to reach all corners of the nations and may your truth penetrate our hearts so we can return to you forever. 🙏🏻
Thank you so much. This podcast is a blessing
Always so excited when this drops!! 😍😍❤❤
Day 7… WHAT A GIFT..!! ❤❤ YOU are our GIFT from the Lord..! Thank You Lord for Fr. Mike..! ❤️👍🏻🙏🏻 God bless you..! I am praying for you. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Please pray for me..! Touch the lives of all of the negative people around me. Break their hearts open to reveal Yourself to them so they KNOW YOU..!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻 Amen..!! Aleluia..!
I thank God for your faith brother Mike the Lord Jesus tells me that you are a faithful servant of Him He says that you are a chosen one the Lord Jesus will use you in a very special way be ready the Lord Jesus will manifest Himself in ieper very shortly now when you hear about something wonderful happening in Belgium come without hesitation

"He continues to call us back" It's amazing that God would even bother with us when we been neglecting him and ignoring him. There's no one like him. Another reason why I like the song "Nobody like you" by Paul Wilbur
Amen
God Bless you Fr. ኣገልግሎትኩም ይባረኽ።
GOD BLESS YOU FATHER MIKE AND THANK YOU
Thank you Jesus
Thank you for you very much for your teaching
Thank you Fr...it is great walking with you on this journey as was Bible in a year, an incredible experience 👍
I had in the beginning of the lessons mentioned that I had grew up on the Baltimore catechism and that many things we were expected to memorize the one thing that I have never lost was that my job on a daily basis was to know love and serve God that's the part I remember. So during my life when there was times of hardship and I didn't know what to do the seed of this particular statement had been planted in my mind at a very young age that one day at a time one thing at a time was to let God help and my job one day at a time was to know love and serve him and he will take care of the rest. So much of this did not sink in the first time I read this but having you read it and explain it in words that I understand I get it. And I understand how God has had me by the hand from the very beginning to lead me forward and teach me through the things of my life. God bless you
Just awesome
Praying for you..
He calls us friend
How focused is our relationship with God???
I’m praying for you Fr. Mike, that you enter into the love of God, and all of us here too, in Jesus’s name I pray 🙏🏽
Thank you, Father, that is my humble prayer tool
Thank you, Lord, for Father Mike Schmidt 🙏 ❤️
Thank you Father Mike! 🥰🙏🏼❤️
Absolutely excellent!!!
Thank you Father Mike for sharing the Catechism with us. I tried to read is years ago and no did not make it. But after two years of Bible in the year, I am so grateful that you are sharing this will us because now I will have read the catechism by the end of the year. I feel behind and on day eight and watching day 7. But I will catch up. Praying for Father Mike and anyone in need of prayers.
I will pray for you Fa Mike.. May peace be at 16:43 hand.. I am enjoying learning more each day.
Please pray for my marriage which seems to erase our loving communication day by day 😢
Thank you Father.
Day 7. Thank you Fr. Mike 👍
In #50 the line "Through an utterly free decision..." regarding God revealing and giving himself to man, stuck out the most to me. Most relationships aren't freely given, in romance it's usually attraction from physical desire, vocational compatibility, or some other fleeting circumstance that inspires the desire to connect and give. Most relationships end because they are not free...someone gets older and uglier, someone wants to boost their career and not be "held back", someone goes through depression and the other "can't deal". And these relationships end and the love stops, the connection stops, the giving stops because one or the other bails for the lack of freedom in giving to the other. But this statement here of God giving himself in an ::utterly free decision:: is different from that kind of love, it's not dependent on us to meet a criteria for him to God to reveal and give himself to man, to us. Laying that out, I can say "Oh, God is looking for a serious relationship." I think that's so important to know and be reminded of. This can be such a foreign and mysterious point, especially if you come from a world with broken relationships. If it's not something you've experienced and understand implicitly, you have to really struggle to contextualize it for any of the rest to make sense or be appreciated. I really like that line and what it sets up.
God bless you fr mike. Thank you for reading to us...
Thank you Fr. Mike, Days 7❤️
Wow
Before we had the CCC books in our church years ago. We used the Baltimore Catechism. Thank you Father Mike.🙏❤🙏❤
