Catechesis Notes for the Week — Take Up the Catechism Daily—As we begin another school year, we have the opportunity to renew our meditation upon God’s Word through the faithful contemplation of the Small Catechism.  Beginning this week, the Congregation at Prayer will walk us sequentially through the Small Catechism, from the Ten Commandments through the Table of Duties.  Daily recitation of the small sections of the Catechism at home throughout the next nine months will enable a person to learn the Catechism by heart rather easily.  Learning the Catechism by heart helps us to interpret and understand Scripture, sermons, and liturgy.  It also shapes the way in which we think about our lives and live in our vocation, so that we live faithfully as Christians.
