What overview does Father Mike give about Day 151 and paragraphs 1113–1121?
Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Catechism in a Year podcast, where we encounter God's plan of sheer goodness for us, revealed in Scripture and passed down through the tradition of the Catholic faith. The Catechism in a Year is brought to you by Ascension. In 365 days, we'll read through the Catechism of the Catholic Church, discovering our identity in God's family as we journey together toward our heavenly home. This is day 151. We're reading paragraphs 1113 to 1121. As always, I'm using the Ascension edition of the Catechism, which includes the Foundations of Faith approach, but you can follow along with any recent version of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
You can also download your own Catechism and your reading plan by visiting ascensionpress.com slash C-I-Y. And you can click follow or subscribe in your podcast app for daily updates and daily notifications. Today is day 151. As I said, we're reading paragraphs 1113 to 1121. We're on article two, the Paschal Mystery and the Church's Sacraments. What does that mean? Great question, Camper. What that means is... It means that we're going to highlight today, there are seven sacraments. They're the sacraments of Christ. What it means is that these sacraments were all instituted by Jesus Christ, our Lord. So they're the sacraments of Christ. And they flow out of the work, the action, the saving work, words of jesus christ they're the powers that come forth from the body of christ and their actions of the holy spirit at work in his body so they're the sacraments of jesus right he's he instituted them now they're also the sacraments of the church and so over the course of many many years the church has come to a better understanding of okay there are these seven sacraments here's how they are to be exercised here's how they are to be understood here's how they are to be lived out
Also, I love this in paragraph 1118, they're both by the church and for her, meaning they're by the church in the sense that they're the sacrament of Christ's work through the church, but they also build up the church. So they're by the church and for the church. And also we're going to highlight today, I mentioned it yesterday, but the baptismal priesthood. so that all of those who are baptized are baptized obviously into Christ, but have a share in Christ's priesthood. At the same time, there's such a thing as the ministerial priesthood that guarantees and ensures the presence of Jesus Christ, the action of Jesus Christ in all of the sacraments. And so we're gonna talk about that today. Without anything further, let's open up with a prayer.
As we pray, Father in heaven, you are good. You are God. We love you. And we ask you to please send your Holy Spirit to be with us in this moment. We know that we have access to your fatherly heart by the work of your son, Jesus, by the gift of your Holy Spirit, and by the fact that you have called us and made us into your sons and daughters through baptism. Lord, you continue to pour out your Holy Spirit upon us. And we ask that you in this moment, Come to us in our weakness. Come to us in our need. Come to us in our brokenness and give us healing. Come to us in our frustration and give us peace. Come to us in our weakness and give us strength. Come to us in our fear and give us courage.
Lord God, we do not ask for you to make this world safer. We do ask you to help us be more brave, to be more courageous, and to be strong.
Help us to love you the way you love us. In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. It is day 151. We are reading paragraphs 1113 to 1121. Article two, the Paschal mystery in the church's sacraments.

There are seven sacraments in the church, baptism, confirmation or chrismation, Eucharist, penance, anointing of the sick, holy orders,
