In this episode of the Catechism in a Year podcast, Fr. Mike Schmitz discusses paragraphs 1961 to 1964 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, focusing on the Old Law as the first stage of revealed law. He explains that the Old Law, summarized in the Ten Commandments, is holy, spiritual, and good but imperfect, serving as a tutor that reveals what must be done without providing the strength to fulfill it. Fr. Mike emphasizes that the Old Law prepares humanity for the Gospel by denouncing sin and highlighting the need for God's grace, which is fully realized in the New Law through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, giving believers the power to live out God's commands in freedom and joy. He encourages listeners to seek the Holy Spirit to live out the commandments and looks forward to discussing the New Law in the next episode.
