Day 20: Stepping in Faith (2025)

This Monologue Podcast episode of "Catechism in a Year" focuses on explaining the concept of faith as a response to God's revelation. Fr. Mike Schmitz guides listeners through paragraphs 142-149 of the Catechism, emphasizing that faith involves complete submission of intellect and will to God, exemplified by Abraham and Mary's obedience. He distinguishes between merely believing in God and truly believing God, highlighting that saving faith necessitates action and aligning one's will with God's. The episode uses the examples of Abraham's journey and Mary's acceptance of Gabriel's message to illustrate that faith requires trusting God even without complete knowledge of the future. Listeners are encouraged to actively engage with God's revelation and to trust in His guidance.
