The Catechism in a Year – Day 337 – Blessing, Adoration, and Petition

Prayer in the age of the Church takes on many different forms. Together, we examine specifically blessing, adoration, and petition. Fr. Mike emphasizes the beauty that all of our prayers of blessing are a response to God’s blessings for us. He also explores how common and spontaneous prayers of petition to our Father in heaven truly are, but in the age of the Church, our petition is full of hope and not lamentation. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2623-2633.

The Bible in a Year – Day 46 – Set Apart for God


The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)

Day 46: Set Apart for God

Fr. Mike points out how blessing something sets it apart for the purposes of God, and it is no longer meant for ordinary uses. So when we are filled with the spirit of God, our daily task becomes extraordinary, because it is consecrated to God. Today’s readings are Exodus 30-31, Leviticus 22, and Psalm 115.
