12/17/2022
Find links to this series on your favorite platform here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2100497 Welcome to the Ukrainian Fire Chaplain Show ’s series: “The (Ukrainian Catholic) Catechism In (less than) A Year”! This daily study series of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC)—the largest of all the Eastern Catholic Churches—is scheduled to begin by the END of 2023. The 33-Week “Study Plan,” an outline of daily readings schedule for our series, and the FREE PDF of the catechism "Christ Our Pascha" can be found on our website: https://www.ChristInAYear.com In part one of each episode, Fr. Dn. Christopher will present a short reading (about 10 minutes) from Christ Our Pascha, the Ukrainian Catholic Catechism. In part two of each episode, Christopher will typically share a short explanation (about 10 minutes) of the reading with some practical insights and inspiration. Our Ukrainian catechism offers answers to the most profound questions about the meaning and purpose of life. It also offers wisdom and perspective on the Catholic Faith, Sacraments, and Morals from a uniquely Eastern Catholic understanding and experience of Christianity. The study plan will follow the layout of "Christ Our Pascha", which was written in three principal parts: (1-GREEN) The Faith of the Church, (2-BLUE) The Prayer of the Church, and (3-YELLOW) The Life of the Church. Additionally, there are two other short segments of the series: (A-ORANGE) an introduction with the study of the Anaphora of St Basil and (B-GREY) a summary section with key beliefs and specific Byzantine prayers. We look forward to journeying with you through our catechism! *****CONTENT ADVISORY: Some portions of this series (such as treatment of the 6th and 9th Commandments, among others) may contain content and adult discussions unsuitable for children and young listeners***** FIND US: https://www.TheUFCShow.com/about https://www.youtube.com/@UFChaplainShow https://www.twitter.com/@UFChaplainShow https://www.facebook.com/UFChaplainShow THANKS TO: Music by Atch: https://youtu.be/xcFWDHJay6oay6o Stream: https://linktr.ee/atchmusic Free Download: https://hypeddit.com/atchmusic/righth...
