Congratulations, we have come to the conclusion of Part One of the Catechism! Fr. Mike reviews the last “nugget” section on death and judgment, inviting us to regularly ponder the moment of our own death and judgment before our Lord. We conclude today with an explanation of the meaning of the word “amen” and the significance it has for our belief in God. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 1051-1065.
This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Segment 1: “They were all filled with the Holy Spirit” (2 segments)
There are different readings for the Pentecost Vigil and Sunday Masses this weekend, but they all come together to illuminate the Feast of Pentecost. We unpack the readings with Rob Corzine.
Segment 2: The Spirit Elevates the Apostles (2 segments)
Near the end of Luke’s Gospel, Jesus instructs His apostles to not leave Jerusalem “until you are clothed with the power on high.” That is the event we celebrate this weekend. Adam van Wart joins us to talk about how the Apostles were changed by the Spirit.
Segment 1: Is Pentecost the Birthday of the Church?
It’s a commonly touted line that Pentecost is the Birthday of the Church. But there’s no real root for that sentiment in the Church documents or the Scriptures. So where does it come from? And when is the Church’s birthday? The answer lies is understanding the nature and purpose of the Church’s existence. Marcus has more.
Segment 2: When the Spirit Comes in Power (3 segments)
The entire Easter and Lenten season presupposes that we are on a journey culminating with this moment – the Feast of Pentecost. We cannot underestimate the power of the Resurrection – but the Easter season culminates with Pentecost because it is an historical event that continues in the life of the Church to this very day. Peter Herbeck has more.
