We’ve looked at a lot of catechisms over the years, but our favorite one is My Catholic Faith, republished in January 2000 by Sarto House in Kansas City, MO, from their 1954 edition.
It’s a larger book, which makes it impressive, and about 1.5 inches think, with great illustrations to study and larger print that makes it easy on the eyes.
They cover what we need to know as Catholics, in strictly logical sequence by subject:
- the Credo, containing what we must know and believe:
- the Commandments of God and the Church, containing what we must do, and
- the Sacraments and Prayer, containing the means of grace by which we can attain God.
In the Preface, Bishop Morrow says that the two most importance subjects are on the Catholic Church (pages 94-149) and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (pages 264-293).
He says that the topics not “strictly doctrinal” are on the Eastern Churches, Roman Curia, Church and State, Papal Decorations, Science and the Bible, Capital and Labor and Evolution.
I recommend this “approachable” book for families who want to ensure covering the important facts about their faith.
This book follows: My Jesus and I (kindergarten), My First Communion, and My Catechism-Book I and II (with My Bible History).
If you’ve got a grasp of the below, the test is to put it all into practice!
