The Catechism of the Catholic Church gives a clear, systematic and comprehensive presentation of the essentials of the Catholic faith, providing the groundwork for understanding what Catholics believe. For many, however, it is a reference tool too large to absorb totally. A Year with the Catechism: 365 Day Reading Plan brings the treasures of the Catechism to aspiring readers in manageable, bite-sized pieces. Each day, a brief reflection breaks open the selected text, explains unfamiliar terms, and unlocks the spiritual and pastoral meaning. This collaborative commentary, written by internationally respected experts, makes the Catechism accessible to those seeking to deepen their own faith, as well as to those teaching the faith to others.Whether used alone or in a group setting, this invaluable teaching tool will give meaningful exposure to the beauty of the Catholic faith.

It is now just over twenty-five years since the publication of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It is also more than thirty-five years since St. John Paul II called for a new evangelization to be characterized by a new ardour, a new expression, and new methods. The conviction common to the contributors in this volume is that the Catechism flows from just such an ardour.Speaking the Truth in Love draws together a group of Catholic scholars and field practitioners to focus on the capacity of the Catechism to be a powerful point for the renewal of Christian catechesis, education, and culture through its reclamation of the Christian heritage, its explanatory power, and its compelling articulation of a civilization characterized by faith, hope, and love. A special focus of the book is how the Catechism provides a creative reference point for pedagogical renewal in the Church.
