Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 3 million copies sold! Essential reading for Catholics of all walks of life. Here it is - the first new Catechism of the Catholic Church in more than 400 years, a complete summary of what Catholics around the world commonly believe. The Catechism draws on the Bible, the Mass, the Sacraments, Church tradition and teaching, and the lives of saints. It comes with a complete index, footnotes and cross-references for a fuller understanding of every subject. The word catechism means "instruction" - this book will serve as the standard for all future catechisms. Using the tradition of explaining what the Church believes (the Creed), what she celebrates (the Sacraments), what she lives (the Commandments), and what she prays (the Lord's Prayer), the Catechism of the Catholic Church offers challenges for believers and answers for all those interested in learning about the mystery of the Catholic faith. The Catechism of the Catholic Church is a positive, coherent and contemporary map for our spiritual journey toward transformation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREFACE About five months ago, a zealous priest, after speaking of the books that I have published, wrote in his letter as follows: "Permit me to suggest to you what, in my humble opinion, is badly wanted in our barren religious literature and heretical language: A series of correct and concise Catechisms. I know of nothing more needed, and better calculated to do good. Three numbers would abundantly suffice. "No. 1. For little children in spelling classes-for adults lamentably uninstructed in what is necessary to know and to believe, in order to save their souls, and who, at the same time, are so slow of intellect that only the simplest and most necessary elements of the Catholic faith and practice can be imparted to them-for colored people, and others that cannot read, and especially for that legion of stray sheep in humbler walks of life, who are picked up and brought to the priest for instruction, confession and communion on occasions of missions or in Paschal time, and who have neither time, inclination, nor sufficient instruction to read bulky mission books or dry catechisms filled with long technical answers, or learn much by heart. "What is necessary for these classes, is not so much that they may be able to explain, as they should know what they must believe and do in order to save their souls. Therefore, in first catechisms, meant for the uninstructed, not to say stupid, the questions should be longer, and the answers shorter, in order that the child may be instructed in, and, as it were, introduced to, the proper answer, by the very wording of the question, that the feeble memory may not be burdened by a load of words, which it is unable to carry with ease or profit. The true idea of a catechism for the classes of people just mentioned is, that by frequent questions on each point, it wakens the intellects of the uninstructed or the torpid to the matter it is wished to communicate. Hence, not only great care must be taken in framing the questions correctly, but these questions must be multiplied for the entirely uninstructed, especially so as to ask attention to each point that it is desired to teach. To illustrate: It would be a very faulty infants' catechism that would have under one question and answer-'Q. How many Gods are there? A. There is but one God in three persons, each equal to the other Persons, whom we call the Holy Trinity.' "No. 2. For the use of Parochial Schools, and of catechumens who have more opportunity or more capacity. "No. 3. For colleges, academies, high schools, for persons of cultivation, old as well as young, for professional men, etc. This number should especially be plain, popular, comprehensive, and interesting, not so dry and clumsy, nor so full of unsatisfactory, as most books of this class are. Objections, however stupid and threadbare, should be noticed and briefly refuted. "The object of such a series of catechisms is, clearly and deeply to impress the truths of religion upon the minds of the young. A clear knowledge of these truths will, with the grace of God, gradually gain the affections of youth for the Divine Teacher of our religion, Jesus Christ, our Blessed Lord and Redeemer. In order, however, to reach this great object, it is necessary that in each number should be found, as much as possible, the same order and the same questions and answers for the chief truths of religion, so that these truths, by the additional questions and answers in another number, may be but more clearly explained and more solidly established. This rule, I think, ought to be followed in a series of catechisms, as otherwise confusion might be created in many a child's mind and memory. On the contrary, truths clearly proposed and explained and often repeated in the same words, and in the same order, cannot fail to remain deeply impressed upon mind and memory.

Book excerpt: This small catechism provides solid teaching on the Ten Commandments, the Lord's Prayer, The Apostles Creed, the Lord's Supper, baptism, and Confession and Absolution. Simply put, it is an excellent and simple presentation of what God teaches in His Word and the basic truths of what we should believe about Christ and His teachings for our salvation and life. Makes no difference what one's religion or church affiliation - this book will give anyone who reads it an accurate look into what the Bible is all about. In 1529 Martin Luther published this small Christian catechism and addressed it to "all faithful and godly pastors and preachers" about the "deplorable, miserable [spiritual] conditions" in which the german folk was in. Ever since then, this concise and biblical summary of the Christian Faith has been used by countless Christians to teach the faith to their kids and kin. All Christians will benefit from the Questions and Bible-quotes Answers format.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let us consider an excerpt: On the the signs of Last Judgment Matthew 24 Q. How shall the last day come? A. It shall surprise all the world. For it shall catch, as in a net, all who dwell on the surface of the earth. Q. Shall men have no warning, then, or the coming or that day? A. Yes; they shall be warned by many preceding signs. But, as it was in the time of the deluge, when men neglected the warnings of Noah, so shall it be in those latter days, when men shall likewise neglect the warnings which God shall give them by those signs. St. Matt. Xxiv 37 Q. What shall those signs be, A. lst. There shall be wars, famines, plagues, and earthquakes, in divers places. 2d. The Gospel shall be preached throughout the earth. 3d. There shall arise false Christs and false prophets who shall work great prodigies and do marvellous things; so as even to deceive the elect, if that were possible. 4th. Faith shall be enfeebled, and the charity of many shall have grown cold. 5th. Enoch and Elias shall come to preach penance, and their preaching shall convert the Jews. Enoch, taken up in the year of the world 987; and Elias, in 3108. 6th. Then shall Antichrist appear, and his reign shall be three years and a half. Q. Are these all the signs which shall precede the last judgment? A. No; there shall be others still. Q. What shall they be? A. 1st. The sun shall be darkened. 2d. The moon shall withhold her light. 3d. The stars shall fall from heaven. 4th. The powers of heaven shall be moved. 5th. The sea shall make a terrific noise, by the roaring of its waves. 6th. All things shall be consumed by fire. Q. What shall become of men at the sigh of these things? A. They shall wither away with fear, in expectation of what is to come upon them. Q. What does Our Lord say on this subject? A. 1st. Watch ye, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all those things that are to come, and to stand before the Son of man. 2d. Take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and the cares of this life. 3d. But, for you, said he to his apostles, when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift your heads; because your redemption is at hand.
