    I was born and raised Jewish, became a Christian in part thru a Billy Graham crusade. I’ve attended a Southern Baptist church for over 25 years while also being a part of a Catholic women’s Bible study group. I did Bible in 365 and now embarking on Catechism in 365. I love Fr Mike along with Bishop Barron. I believe the more we learn about The OT, NT the more we can give God all the Glory. It’s all about accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. I’m praying this study will do so for those who don’t know Him🙏✝️🙏

      @@Karen-fw3tv I’m very happy being right where I’m at! One conversion was more than enough. Let’s just say my family and friends were less than thrilled. Walking away from Judaism is concerned by some that you have died, you are completely cut off.
      Thankfully that did not happen to me!
      I’ve grown to discount denominations, what matters most to me is accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior✝️
      I’ve been a 20 year member of a Catholic Bible study. They accept me just as I am.

    Fr. Mike you are heaven sent! I was born into a Catholic family but at some point in my life, I moved to another church because of a relationship I was in which came to an end in 2016, then I moved back to the Catholic Church because I never felt like I fit in.
    For the last two years I have been praying for an opportunity to redo/refresh my catechism again and God sent you. I pray that as God has chosen to use you, may He grant you strength, health and wisdom as you take us through. And for me to remain faithful to the end. God give me a teachable spirit and transform my mind, help me to entrust myself in You fully.

    More commenting: when I first started attending Mass before I even joined RCIA, I listened and thought man, memory' not good, how am I going to remember this stuff. Then, next day at a Catholic bookstore, I came across a small book with prayers, but in it was a direct tracking of the Mass, from the beginning to end. It was so handy to have until most of it I memorized.
    I still use it for the Creed & for Gloria at times. But it was a soul saver for sure. I do love that my friend who helped me to become Catholic stated I was more in tone with the Mass than most of the cradle Catholics there. I found that distressingly sad, and cry for them to re-discover the beauty of the Catholic Mass (I cry a lot in Mass, especially at the Eucharistic Prayer, where before I knew what it was, I'd sob my heart out (still do), my heart knowing exactly what and Who it was).
    Father Calloway said it best with lukewarm Catholics who frightened him not knowing their faith. The more I learn, the deeper I open my heart to God, and to Christ. I already believed in the Holy Trinity, but this is just - wow! What beautiful history and such a gift Christ, God gave to us, who loves us unconditionally, and hasn't roasted us by now (I could not blame Him if He had, look at us!). He is so faithful, and as Christ said, so good, the One who truly is.

    Hi Father Mike. This is the 3rd day that I'm tuning in. It's a coincidence if I tell you that last Christmas Mass 2022 while receiving the Lord in the Eucharist, I heard a voice in my heart that says that the Lord wants me to get to know Him better this 2023 and I wondered how to grow closer to Him.

    You spoke to me today.
    Over the last few months, I decided that I would go to mass more than once per week and in doing so, I found myself, as you said, “entrusting” myself in Jesus Christ more.
    I believed that Christ was present in the mass, but I waxed and waned in my passion for encountering Christ. It wasn’t until recently that I decided to plan my week days around mass times rather than the other way around and in doing so, I found myself anxiously waiting to go to mass.
    It’s hard to put into words the work that I believe Christ has done and is doing in me.

      Agreed. One note: we're not "lucky". Rather, we are blessed. Luck is predicated on arbitrary good fortune for which there is no reason, but for those with faith, like you and me, God is the ultimate reason for all that is good and every blessing. With luck, there is no reason and its basis is nothing. With blessings, the basis is God.

    Please God, give me an ounce of Fr Schmitz' excitement for the Faith, and I will finish this race without concern. It's like his mind is racing a thousand miles per hour, and he can't speak quick enough the words of glory to You most high. I thank you, Father, for doing this - I've meant to read the Catechism, but it's always seemed, well, overwhelming. Thank you from a Catholic of only 2 years, and I pray for all priests daily (you were one of 4 Father' on YT who reeled me in with my friend, who started this adventure). God bless!!!

    I am also going through the catechism in a year i am a member of the lds church but i went to catholic school many years ago and i really just wanted to connect with God in a new way and explore my own faith through joining in with this challenge. I actually found out about it as i have been using the hallow prayer app and have been using that to help me get into a good routine of prayer but i can’t wait to learn more, i definitely want this to be a year of transformation and I’m so glad that there’s so many people joining in with this catechism in a year. Thankyou all and thankyou Fr Mike for leading us through this i will continue to pray for you and for everyone who is joining 😊

    Jeff Cavins is in part "responsible" for my re-education into the Catholic Church after having been in the Evangelical world for 20 yrs. LOVED that Bible Timeline..came back to the Catholic Church determined to be more deeply educated in my Catholic faith so that I would never again even think about abandoning the One, Holy, Apostolic and Catholic Church. Just getting started in this series...love the "believe and entrust" message.
