Hello! Thank you so much for visiting my blog! I hope you will stick around :)
Here is what I'm planning:
On Monday (starting 4/7) I will post a weekly reading assignment from the Catechism of the Catholic Church. If you don't have a copy click on the Amazon link the right side bar and get yourself one! Along with the assignment (which I will be taking straight from the CHN Guide to Read Through the Catechism in a Year) I will aim to cover 7 daily reading assigments in a week, and yes I'll be reading all seven days on Sunday night most likely. I will offer some of my notes, random thoughts on how this applies to me, a wife and homeschooling mother of four, and perhaps some related links. Your mission- should you choose to accept it- is to read the assignment (or just my notes, we are busy moms afterall, LOL) and post some comments.
Let's "encourage each other daily while it is still today"!!! (Hebrews 3:13)

Join a busy mom of four as she attempts to read through the Catechism of the Catholic Church in just one year!
Prayer Before Reading
My God, I firmly believe that Thou art here present and I humbly adore Thee in union with the angels and saints. I am sorry for having sinned, because Thou art infinitely good and sin displeases Thee.I love Thee above all things and with my whole heart. I offer Thee all that I am and all that I have, my soul with all its faculties, my body with all its senses.Enlighten my understanding and inflame my will, that I may know and do what is pleasing to Thee. I beseech Thee to direct all the powers of my soul, all my thoughts and affections to Thy service and Thy glory as well as to my own sanctification and salvation.
About this blog
I am a wife and homeschooling mom of four and Catholic convert who has always had the good intention of reading through the Catechism, but haven't been able to pull it off. This blog is my accountability. I hope you'll join me as I read my way through the CCC from April 2008 to Easter 2009!
I will post weekly assigned readings and my notes/muddled mommy brain thoughts on them. I welcome (and beg for!) comments and guest postings! Please join me on this exciting journey into the beautiful teachings of our faith!

Sounds neat, Andrea. I might give it a shot. Can't promise I will keep up, but I will at least start with you!
What a great idea!!
I decided during Holy Week that this would be the year that I will finally and officially convert to Catholicism.
RICA doesn't start until fall and I've got an entire year now to wait until Easter 2009!
I think your lovely little idea is just the thing I need!! Its SO hard to wait!
I actually have the Catechism checked out from the library, but I think I'll order my own copy this week.
GREAT idea and I can't wait to get started!

Found you from the 4Real Forums where I mostly lurk, but do post occasionally as hoosiermama.
Thanks for this effort. I hope to keep up with you!
Blessings,

Hi, My nick name is Mel. I have 3 grown children, a 12 year old and 2 grandchildren (3 and 1). I am about to complete a 3 year program at my church on the catechism. I am interested in working through it again with each of you and chatting about it. There is so much there!
I am so excited and can not wait. Thanks Andrea for putting this together.
I went yesterday to Barnes & Noble (thanks for the idea Carol) and bought my copy....can't beat $9!
Ready to start!
