Posted in: Catholic Living, Featured, Popular Speakers, Sam Khadhouri OCDS

In this insightful conversation on the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Sam shares on its 2000-year-old teaching, inspired by the Holy Spirit.

That it is not enough just to have the scriptures, but we also need the Magisterium of the church and its tradition to interpret the bible. That the Lord passed His teaching authority to the apostles, His church, to interpret scripture in the right light.

Sam unpacks the core elements of the Catechism and how they relate to Christian living. The Creed, The Sacraments, Life in Christ & Prayer. Sam describes the Catechism as living – a rich and holistic book guiding us on our Christian journey.

That Mary is a model for the Catechist and each one of us need to be a living Catechism in our unique way. Sam recommends we all read the Catechism and to encourage our families, especially our children to read it and points us to what books to read.

Sam also speaks into Catholic Doctrine and how the church and its body have been guided by the Holy Spirit in such matters and that our Catechism is true and beautiful.

Sam closes with a lovely message on the Catechism – that it is all about love and that we are one body in Christ. We hope you are blessed by this great conversation and please be encouraged to read this stunning book given to us by the Holy Spirit to guide us in all matters of the Catholic faith.
