An email will be sent to you every morning. It takes less than two minutes per day to read and learn our Catholic faith.

Since I have been enjoying reading Catechism online daily, I thought about sharing this information with whoever may be interested.

This thread is purely for your information.

Thank you. Lol…I have read forum member Coptic Christian ask so many times ‘have you read the CCC?’ that I actually sat down a couple of days ago and started reading it from the beginning. This will help.

Read the Catechism in a Year

**Day 216 - Pilgrimages and the Stations of the Cross
What is the purpose of a pilgrimage? **

Someone who goes on a pilgrimage “prays with his feet” and experiences with all his senses that his entire life is one long journey to God.

In ancient Israel people made pilgrimages to the Temple in Jerusalem. Christians adopted this custom. And so this developed, especially in the Middle Ages, into a regular pilgrimage movement to the holy places (above all to Jerusalem and to the tombs of the apostles in Rome and Santiago de Compostela). Often people went on pilgrimage so as to do penance, and sometimes their actions were affected by the false notion that one had to justify oneself before God by tormenting and punishing oneself. Today pilgrimages are experiencing a unique revival. People are looking for the peace and the strength that come from those grace-filled localities. They are tired of going it alone; they want to get out of the rut of the daily routine, get rid of some ballast, and start moving toward God.

What are the Stations of the Cross?

Following Jesus on his Way of the Cross by praying and meditating on the fourteen Stations is a very ancient devotion in the Church, which is practiced especially in Lent and Holy week. (YOUCAT questions 276-277)

Your post indicates the passage is from the Youcat, which is NOT the Catechism itself by any means. I would think that if the site gives examples from the youcat it probably references the youcat rather than the catechism itself.

The Coming Home Network offers a pamphlet where you can read the Catechism and the Bible in one year It is available from www.chnetwork.org. You can get it online or a printed version.

I read the CCC in one year a few years back using this guide from the Coming Home Network:

Read the Bible and the Catechism in a Year

It’s a free PDF that I folded and kept in my copy of the Catechism as a bookmark. As the title suggests, you can also use it to read the Bible in one year. If you can do both at once, you’re a better person than I!

EDIT: Lego, you beat me to it

I have used the CH Network guide for several years. Have done both at once every year for about 5 years. but I don’t think I’m a better person than anyone. Although I hope I’m a better person for reading these two books over the past 5 years.

I imagine you are! :yup:

These are great links!

Also the good old (but still vitally timely) Baltimore Catechism is a much better read. And was written for the lay person.

You are right, the passage is from Youcat, a simple format of Catechism with further link to
Catechism for you to click and dig deeper.

I’m sure that’s a fine site and a provides a great service but the Catechism should be read with scripture. That is how the Catechism was written and designed to be read - with Scripture.

The Catechism is inseperable from Scripture. I hope they give the scripture references.

It will be ideal to have Scripture references. When my church group does Bible Study, the student reference book we use always refers to Catechism. It is very helpful.

This Youcat format is simple. It is for people who are busy but willing to take couple minutes to learn a little bit of their faith every day. Learning some is better than no learning at all.

Sounds much better than the way I did it. A doubleday paperback with editio typica by John Paul II that I picked up at a bookstore and read that afternoon. The closest thing that I’d ever found to my understanding of the Bible! And almost as well documented, cited, cross referenced as the Bible itself…so fine…

I plan on taking up the Catechism and the Bible and reading them this summer. I have read the Bible back when I was a Protestant a few times through but haven’t since I became a Catholic. I hope to read the two at the same time and enrich my life with the reading of the entire Faith in the Catechism and the Bible from a Catholic point of view.

To reinforce the Original Poster, his recommended site is a good one. The link started off being a link primarily for daily CCC postings, beginning from the very start and with the goal of reading the entire CCC in a year.

For reasons not clear, the link recommended by the OP segwayed into YouCat postings.
However . . . it does still give you the ability to conduct daily CCC readings.

Go ahead and subscribe to the recommended site discussed by the OP, and you’ll start receiving daily emails. You’ll get daily YouCat postings. At the top of the YouCat postings is a link to “View It In Your Browser”, which makes the font size easier to read.

Then, at the bottom and following the daily YouCat postings, is a sentence that reads as follows: “Dig Deeper: Corresponding CCC section (xxxx-xxxx) and other references”. In this sentence is a clickable link called < here >. When you click the < here > link, you are taken to daily CCC postings. Very useful indeed, and allows me to discipline myself to daily postings of the CCC for the purpose of reading the CCC in a year.

Thank you Steve, for your detailed explanation. It is very thorough and helpful. God bless!

This site presents a very simple Youcat format and also provides a “dig deeper link” to the actual CCC readings for those who want to read more in detail.

As one of the volunteer ministry chair persons at my parish, I have obtained the approval of my Pastor to make a page of bulletin insert about this website of “Read the Catechism in One Year” for our church bulletin.

I want to thank all who gave (name removed by moderator)ut to this thread. Your support, objection, and explanation helped me make my bulletin insert message with very clear statements.

The purposes of this thread, and the bulletin insert, are providing information to as many people as possible. It is our obligation to learn our own faith as well as help others realize the opportunity of learning. If you have any way of recommending this website to your parish, please do so with your Pastor’s approval.

God bless!

The only problem is in the misidentification or misrepresentation of the Youcat as the Catechism, which it most assuredly is not.

And since it is from the Youcat, I think I will pass.

Thanks for the info though.
