This year I’m going to read the entire Catholic Catechism, front to back.
I’ve been a non practicing Catholic since 1997, and have very little in the way of knowledge about the Catholic faith, and what the church believes, why it believes what it does, and how that can affect me in my religious growth.
I made a list when I returned from LA, things I want to try to accomplish in 2026, and obtaining the book of the catechism, along with the reading of same, was top on my list. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for many years, and now that I have the Hallow, and Ascension apps, I am able to find information about the church, and their dogma with ease. So, why not delve a bit deeper into the Catholic faith.
It’s easy reading, and with the catechism being explained by Fr. Mike Schmitz, from Minneapolis, MN, easy to follow along, and understand. Another win-win.
Now, if I can do all of the other things on my list, like learning the Rosary in Spanish, memorizing 3 recipes, reducing accumulated clutter to Spartan levels, learning self discipline, losing 15kg, and finishing the ceiling in the bathroom, it will be a golden year for me.
Until next time, stay happy, and healthy in the Lord.
