You may recall that a couple of years ago Father Mike Schmitz read the Bible in a year in what proved to be a wildly popular podcast. I really liked it a lot and really wished that he'd do the Catechism in a year also. And that wish has been granted!
As he did with the Bible, he will read the entire Catechism in 365 bite-sized pieces, providing explanation and insights along the way. These are early days, meaning that it will be easy to catch up if you're a stickler for sticking to a schedule. Full confession, I took two years to go all the way through the Bible in a Year and it was very fruitful. So if you like a slower pace, this will work for you too.
I have read the entire Catechism, very slowly, and it is a rich book, perfectly made to answer a simple question or with deeper treasures for us to reflect upon. As I have been listening to these first few episodes it has struck me that the Catechism is the Church's version of when Mary "ponders" events in her heart."
Pondering" is also translated as reflecting, treasuring in her heart, and meditating, depending on the Biblical translation. What better way to spend the year than pondering the miracle of God's love for us in the Catholic Church?
Here's the home page but you can pick this up wherever you get your podcasts.
