In this sixth episode of the "Catechism in a Year" podcast, Fr. Mike Schmitz delves into the essential lessons from the first chapter (paragraphs 44-49). He outlines six pivotal insights, highlighting our innate religious nature and our calling to connect with God while underscoring the harmony between faith and reason. Quoting St. Augustine, he reflects on how true fulfillment comes from complete union with God and reassures us that we can know God reliably through our experiences in creation and our inner conscience. The episode wraps up with a thoughtful reminder that although our words may fall short of fully expressing God, they can still convey meaningful truths about Him through analogies. This episode is a valuable recap, helping listeners reinforce their grasp of the foundational ideas introduced in the Catechism.
