Day 2: Bueller? ... Bueller? ... Bueller? ...

The whole concern of doctrine and its teaching must be directed to the love that never ends. Whether something is proposed for belief, for hope or for action, the love of our Lord must always be made accessible, so that anyone can see that all the works of perfect Christian virtue spring from love and have no other objective than to arrive at love. (Catechism 25)


Well if I'm completely honest, today's reading reminded me of how much I envied the named leading character in this 1980s classic film:

There are times when life does NOT move pretty fast, and you can sneak a day off, but instead drags on like this lesson. That was kind of what these paragraphs were like. To be fair, Fr. Mike did say that the Prologue was like a class "syllabus" which in my opinion this last part of it definitely was. The most promising part was taken from the Roman Catechism, which I quoted above. Fr. Mike does a pretty good job explaining this section, which even though not riveting material does have importance moving forward in the Catechism.

Ok, that's Day Two and hopefully Day Three will be more engaging.
