Day 230: How We Live (Part 3 Introduction)

Today there is no reading from the Catechism, but instead a discussion between Fr. Mike Schmitz and Dr. Mary Healy introducing Part 3. Tomorrow begins the actual reading of the text!


In the video, Fr. Schmitz & Dr. Healy introduce us to the importance of living each day what we say we believe in our walk with Christ. The Catechism Companion, Vol II notes:
In this third part of the Catechism. it comes down to our daily choices: Do I really believe what I say I believe? The first section of pillar three is about our vocation, life in the Holy Spirit. God never gives us a commandment that he does not empower us by the Holy Spirit to carry out... Ultimately, the moral life is God calling us to the impossible. But what is impossible for men is possible for God. Every time we fall and then get up, it's a victory for the Kingdom. This part of the Catechism gets down to the concrete reality of our daily choices. Keep going. Be all in for Jesus because it is a complete adventure. (p. 224)

Ok,  the intro is done, and tomorrow Part 3 begins!
