From Blessing to Blessing: The Catechism as a Journey of Faith

For the majority of Catholics, the Catechism of the Catholic Church appears intimidating as a reading experience. Few would consider picking it up as a devotional help or a practical guidebook to their Catholic faith. The CCC is, in reality, a document easily navigated and deeply enriching with the right tools.

The purpose of From Blessing to Blessing: The Catechism as a Journey of Faith is not so much to rehash the content of the CCC it speaks beautifully for itself but to explain its purpose, structure and themes, and so allow its truths to unfold for the reader. The primary approach to the CCC must intend to seek more than an informational read; it calls for a journey, the Christian journey of faith. The Catechism seeks not simply to inform us about Church tenets, but to form us wholly as Catholics. It does not stop at telling us about the faith, but continues deeper, helping to instill faith in us as we come to absorb the beauty of the truth taught by the Catholic Church.

From Blessing to Blessing: The Catechism as a Journey of Faith is designed to:
- enable individual study of the Catechism of the Catholic Church
- support RCIA and other adult faith formation programs
- supplement diaconate or seminary training
- provide a basic foundation for the Pillars: A Journey through the Catechism study program
