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!

Baptism is significant because the light of Christ now dwells in a person and shines for others to see Him!
I think it's very interesting all the events that prefigured Baptism such as: Noah and his family being saved through the flood, the Israelites passing through the Red Sea which liberated them from slavery, and the Israelites crossing the Jordan River in order to get to the Promised Land.
Jesus baptism represents His humility in emptying Himself completely and embracing His humanity. It represents the beginning of His public ministry.
