Getting through the Catechism in a year
Do you want to know the Catholic Faith better? Have you ever wanted to work through the Catechism from cover to cover? Well, now’s your chance to go on that journey with some company!
Fr. Hugh from Dominus Mihi Adjutor just wrote about Read The Cat, a blog and podcast whose authors are going to be working their way through the Catechism in 365 days. Every Friday there’s a ten minute podcast in which fifty-five paragraphs of the Catechism are summarized and explained. If you want, you can read those fifty-five paragraphs yourself during the week…
They’ve only done one episode so far so it’s easy to catch up. I’m doing it. Who’s with me?
Went to Mass…

Guest Post: Holy Hunger (Part 2)
Yesterday was the first guest post we’ve had here on this blog. I’m hoping that it’ll be the first of many to come. If you have an idea for an article which you would like to have published here, please contact me and we can try and work something out.
So yesterday, in preparation for Lent, I invited my good friend Dominic to speak to us on the subject of fasting. He gave us an introduction to the subject, spoke about some of the examples we have from Sacred Scripture and discussed the motivation behind fasting.
Today he’s going to offer some concluding thoughts…
Preparation for Fasting
We need to go into fasting with a positive attitude, knowing that fasting is the will of God and is rewarded (Matthew 6:17-18). Also since our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), it is entirely appropriate for us to benefit physically as well as spiritually from fasting.
Pray for strength and take things one step at a time. Guard against spiritual attack. The Devil doesn’t like fasting and he will try to undermine you. You may feel doubts, fear, loneliness or temptations. Stand firm knowing that God loves you and rewards those who diligently seek him (Hebrews 11:6).
