      • The Catechism in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz) - Day 110: The People of God (2026)

        God draws people to himself and makes them his own. The Catechism shows us what makes God’s people different from everyone else, and what it is that unites them. Fr. Mike hones in on what exactly it is that the People of God do, and exhorts us to start doing that right here, today. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 781-786.

        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.

        For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy

        Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
