children of god, father, filial boldness, god’s children, holy spirit, humility, prayer, son, the lord’s prayer, the our father
When we pray the Our Father, we are invited to pray with “filial boldness” as children of God. Fr. Mike emphasizes that we are God’s adopted sons and daughters, and so because of that, we are able to call him “Abba, Father.” He also emphasizes that because of this adoption we are called to “continual conversion and new life.” Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2777-2785.

Day 231: Our Calling (2024)

catechesis, catholic morality, children of god, christian morality, dead to sin, ecclesial catechesis, how we live, life in the spirit, man’s vocation, moral teaching, moral theology, morality, of charity, of grace, of sin and forgiveness, of the christian virtues, of the holy spirit, of the human virtues, ourcalling, part 3, part iii, part three, partakers of the divine nature, section one, temple of the holy spirit
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.

The Catechism shows us how Baptism unites the Church as a “People of God of the New Covenant” and goes so far as to say that “Baptism constitutes the foundation of communion among all Christians.” We all belong to Jesus, together. Fr. Mike highlights the fact that with the gift of unity in Baptism comes real responsibility. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 1267-1274.
