What new Ascension app features help me study the Bible and Catechism?
Hi everyone, before we get started, I wanted to let you know about an exciting announcement that could revolutionize the way you listen to the Bible in the air and the Catechism in the air. Ascension has released a new Bible and Catechism app called the Ascension app. Now, here's what you get. In this app, you get the entire text of the Great Adventure Bible. This is incredible. You also get the entire text of of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, as long with the Catechism in Ear podcast and the Bible in Ear podcast, and transcripts for each episode. If you're like, I'm tired of listening to that guy. I just want to read it. There's complete transcripts from each and every episode. One thing that makes this app incredibly unique
is that it includes special features that make connections between the Bible and the Catechism so crystal clear through color-coded references and all these links. The hyperlinks are amazing. I tried it out and I'm like, oh my gosh, it kind of has changed the way I read through the Catechism, kind of changed the way I read through the Bible. These features will help you navigate the Bible and Catechism even more seamlessly so you can get more out of your experience. Also, the app provides almost 1,000 answers to Bible questions. The people who listen to the Bible in here, they wrote in with their questions. Almost a thousand answers, and those answers come in the form of audio clips, video clips, as well as resources excerpted from some of Ascension's published works.
If you want to download this app for free, super simple. Just go to the App Store and search for Ascension app. I am telling you, if learning about the Bible and the Catechism is important to you, then this app will change your life.
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 and God's family as we journey together to our heavenly home. This is day 183. We're reading paragraphs 1341 to 1347. 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 at the Catholic Church. You can also download your own Catechism in a year reading plan by visiting ascensionpress.com slash CIY.
And you can also click follow or subscribe in your podcast app for daily updates and daily notifications because today is day 183. We are continuing to talk about the great gift, the great sacrament of the Eucharist, and the fact that Jesus has given us this to do in memory of him. That's what we're talking about, that Jesus has commanded us to repeat his words and actions until he comes, which is not only ask us to remember what Jesus did, but to do it, to participate in it. And that is what we're talking about today. In fact, we're also going to talk about the fact that Oh, this is so cool. There's this extended kind of, I don't want to say quote, that quote is too kind of a small of a word. It's a citation.
It's a citation. That's what it is. It is a clip from a letter written by St. Justin Martyr. And St. Justin was writing to the pagan emperor Antoninus Pius around the year 155, explaining what Christians did, explaining how Christians worship. And this was 155, so pretty early on in the Christian life. And St. Justin Martyr is describing, okay, if you wanna know, you're an outsider, what do we believe? What are we doing when we come together and worship? This is what we're doing. And that's gonna be clutch, as the kids said back in the day, maybe in the 80s, something like that. It's gonna be pretty important for us to understand this in order to know what's happening at the Mass. Now, 2,000 years later, the same thing, the same mystery, the same participation in the most amazing gift that God's ever given us.
