- This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
📖 Follow along with the official Catechism in a Year Reading Plan (AscensionPress...)
Put simply, “[e]very person not yet baptized and only such a person is able to be baptized.” The Catechism explains to us the purpose of Baptism for both adults and infants. Fr. Mike doubles down and makes sure we understand that Baptism is for everyone. God wills Baptism for all people. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 1246-1252.
Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
Ascension is committed to creating media that helps Catholics grow in their faith. Catechism in a Year promises to do just that - that’s why, no matter what, we’re making it. This podcast is free and always will be. But, we have limited resources. With funding from generous supporters like you, we can do even more than simply create the podcast. Would you consider supporting Ascension’s free media? tinyurl.com/2s.... No amount is too small!
Although not tax-deductible, the financial support we receive goes towards the creation of podcasts and videos that help Catholics grow in their faith. If you’d like to learn more about what we do with gifting, go to AscensionPress.... Thank you and God bless you!

Pray that my daughters who were raised in the Catholic faith will, come to see that their children come to Jesus. All are baptized, a couple have made penance and holy communion, and the others have not. I pray every day for this & will not cease until the Lord calls me home.
Pray for each other , and let’s continue to pray for Fr. Mike Schmitz 🛐
Amen❤

Thank you Father Mike. ❤🙏❤
Why Have Your Baby Baptized?
Having your baby baptized in the Catholic Church is not optional. It is essential to baptize your baby to remove original sin from his soul, restore him to God's friendship, allow God to dwell in Him, restore sanctifying grace in the soul, and make Heaven possible.
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion have mercy on us and on the whole world. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus have mercy on us 🫀🔥✝️
Amen! ❤🙏
AMEN❤
Every person not yet baptised is able to receive Baptism. The Church baptises infants because they are born with original sin. Baptism frees infants from the Evil One and brings them into that realm of freedom that belongs to the children of God.
Father, may everything that I do this day, whether it be full of joy or pain, whether it be full of love or of grief, I ask that everything I go through today be offered to you just like Jesus offered everything to you. It is in his name we pray. Amen. 6/19/2023
Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done,
on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Thank you Father Mike for your teachings!❤❤
Why should Catholics baptize their baby?
It is because we love them so much that we want to give them the very best. To really provide the best possible life for our children, it is necessary to teach them to have a relationship with God and the first step in doing that is getting your baby baptized. Your child will receive the Baptismal grace and freed from original sin.
“The fruit of Baptism, or baptismal grace, is a rich reality that includes forgiveness of original sin and all personal sins, birth into the new life by which man becomes an adoptive son of the Father, a member of Christ and a temple of the Holy Spirit. By this very fact the person baptized is incorporated into the Church, the Body of Christ, and made a sharer in the priesthood of Christ.”
LoL I love the Rocky movies 😅

Thank you Fr
Thank you Father
Awe….Fr. Mike, you are REMARKABLE!!!
Made it to 170! I am so in love with this CIY. Prayers and Thank You Fr. Mike🙏🙏
Pray for healing and forgiveness within families, church and communities.
I pray also my daughters would return to the church.
Even after being baptized and confirmed, we still need to continue our studies, to increase our faith and love of God. Praying for you, Fr Mike, and all on this journey. God Bless.
"He wants all men to be saved."
Amen
Amen!🙏❤️
"Indeed, God "desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of truth", that is, God wills the salvation of everyone through the knowledge of the truth. Salvation is found in the truth. Those who obey the prompting of the Spirit of truth are already on the way to salvation. But the Church, to whom this truth has been entrusted, must go out to meet their desire, so as to bring them the truth." (CCC 851)
@@KenDonovan-jw2jk Can't argue with a presuppositionalist.
Sorry I missed the argument part. You made a statement about a characteristic of God, and I agreed with a more expansive statement from the Catechism.
Providence!!! I am renewing my Consecration to Mary, and today was my day to renew my Baptismal promises.
Eye of the tiger, Father.
Father Mike is God's soul formator for us. :)
God bless my parents for giving me the Catholic sacramental process. Baptism, First Communion, First Confession, Confirmation.
Praying for everyone here Thank you Father Mike
AMEN 🙏.

Thank you again for another good night teaching I'm praying for all of you thank you all for praying for me in Jesus name we pray and God bless have a good night
Almost no Catholics- including Clergy- between the ages of 35-65 years old have been fully formed in the Christian Faith.
The good news though, is we are doing a much better job with our children.
Almost no Catholics?
@rhwinner the horrible nature of catechism during the time these people were young, introduced many myths that were foreign to the religion and are not supportable by the full record of the Magisterium, leading to a general malformation in the faith. While many of us did indeed go back later to do our own formation, you can still today find many Catholics doing such things as denying the Real Presence, considering contemplative prayer to be a waste of time, denying the reality of hell, or denigrating Sacramentals, among ither strange beliefs like the concept that politicians are not guilty of passing unjust laws when secular politics becomes more important than the faith.
This level of ignorance can be overcome, but the early life formation is forever lost for three generations of Catholics.
@@TedSeeber And it’s why you see so many “ex-Catholics” become evangelical. They have no idea what the Church teaches. I came from evangelical to Catholic because I saw the truth of Catholic teaching. The Protestant teaching no longer made sense to me.
@@TrixRN evangelical on one side. Atheist on the other. Two sides of the same coin.
Praise to You O' Lord Jesus Christ ❣️
Thank you so much Fr. Mike, and Ascension. As always, my continued prayers for all. God Bless 🙏🏻

(Diary of St. Faustina
Vilnius 1934)
I love her diary & listening to Fr. Roesch read it every morning. It inspires me to draw closer to Our Lord & lean into His Divine Mercy. Early this year I started praying the chaplet every day & I joined the Cenacle of Divine Mercy in my parish.
St. Faustina, pray for us.🙏❤️
@@TrixRN
Yes it really is a diary and chaplet for our times. I have just started to catch up with Fr. Roesch with my old copy.
In 1953 Maria Valtorta was told by Jesus to pray the chaplet and in 1968, an Italian housewife was given a consolidation in the messages of merciful love.☀️
Amen
Thank you Fr. MIke! Blessings everyone on this Day 170! 🙏

Great Rocky analogy! I’m in constant training!!! Lord, help me to be a saint! Thanks Fr. Mike. We’re so blessed to have you🙏🏻❤️
Fr. Thank you ❤. I am praying for you and for all my CIY brothers and sisters. 🙏❤.
I am so blessed with today's session. The explanation to the question " Who can be baptized" provides us with an understanding of the origins of our faith. Dear Lord, allow that, guided by the Holy Spirit, we may discern the deep meaning of our Catholic Faith. Let us be the light that shines in the darkness for all to see and glorify your Name forever. Amen.
Amen🙏❤️

As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, "Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?" So St Philip baptizes the Ethiopian Eunuch who is believed to start a great church in his home country.

Thank you, Fr. Mike!
My mother had me baptized in the Catholic Church as an older child, thank God, but was not raised in the church. Had to follow through as an adult. But I am thankful for that baptism.
For my conversion and renewal of my baptism, for my family's conversion and renewal of their baptism, for the baptism of my family not yet baptized, for the conversion and baptism of the whole world: my adorable Jesus, may our feet journey together, may our hands gather in unity, may our hearts beat in unison, may our souls be in harmony, may our thoughts be as one, may our ears listen to the silence together, may our glances profoundly penetrate each other, may our lips pray together to gain mercy from the Eternal Father.

We should always be learning, training,and growing in our faith!! A continual training montage of living our faith 🥰🙏🎶💪🔥🙌

This is awesome !!!
7/5/24 I’m catching up here in Germany because I couldn’t listen for 2 weeks as we have been out of the USA and since day 165, listening about the sacrament of baptism, I pray as St Monica did for our son-in-law Patrick to seek the sacrament baptism, and for our daughter Jenna and son Sean to come back to their Catholic faith. My husband and I were blessed to visit the church of St Augustine in Rome both on 6/18 and 6/30/24 and pray for the conversion of sinners like me, for the salvation of souls. And we are traveling with Patrick and Jenna, and while I know it may not be us who leads Patrick to the gift of baptism, we pray for a Saint Ambrose to come into his life to do that, and do the best we can to live our faith. Praying for you Father Mike.

I Love You Lord Jesus......I am still confused over Baptism....infant/adults....
❤❤❤
So many people are not baptizing their children, it is frightening. The wave of atheism throughout the country means there will be more unbaptized people than baptized. This is frightening. Can't we already see the results and where this will lead? Perhaps Bishops could give Christian Grandparents permission for emergency Baptisms of their grandchildren, if their own children are not baptizing their own kids or even believing in God anymore. I'm not sure if people know how prevalent this is today - the wave of atheism taking hold of former Christians.
But who would ensure the child was raised in the faith?
May God bless you always 🙏 🙏🙏

Thank you so much Fr Mike......this is really enlightening for me.....can a baby of non church going Catholis be baptised?......Praying for you and everyone here. God bless🙏❤️🙏🏻
My understanding is…Only if the parents agree to the baptism & promise to raise the baby in the faith.
My son and daughter in law left the church. My husband and I had the opportunity to baptize their little daughters in church when we were babysitting. Our priest told us it didn’t count due to their leaving the church. We never told their parents. My heart breaks for them.
@@pameladomingue6509 I’m so sorry 😢 I feel your pain. 🙏❤️My daughter & her family with my 4 grandchildren never converted & aren’t raising their children in any kind of faith, my older son converted & left the Church. But praise God! My youngest son & his family with 5 children converted & is raising his children in the faith.🙏❤️
Thank you once again Fr Mike. My son and daughter in law now don't believe in God but their children of 10 and 13 received the sacraments.....I'm involved in their family life....looking after the children since birth when they were at work....
now the oldest has been coming to Mass and hasn't missed since Christmas 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻.....now my youngest son and his wife have a baby but they don't go to Mass either. They are quite happy for me to have the baby baptised and take him to Mass.......I put it all up to God🙏🏻.......Thank you for this podcast Fr Mike and all who make it possible. Praying for you and everyone here. God bless 🙏🏻 ❤️ 🙏🏻

@@TrixRN Hi Theresa how are you doing?
@@elizabethcronin3074 The day was great even if I wasn’t up to going to the chapel to pray. Today not so great. For some reason I slept 10-11 hours which is awful. I have a hard time in the mornings d/t fibromyalgia; sleeping that long magnifies the pain & stiffness exponentially. Also for 2 weeks I tried going to daily mass but I just got worse & worse. I think I was exhausted from pushing my body so hard for the prior 2 weeks.
🙏

27) Now, or AT the altar of God. In the mass procedures of the priest; during that time - I bring my friend: ___, asking me and the entire community to pray for her/or his surrendering blessings; that by the action of:

Father in Heaven thank You for the Gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Thank You for the Gift of the Holy Spirit who nurtures us with Love and Guidance. Father we thank You for being Our Father and calling us all to more thoroughly learn the catechism, which is genius by the way. Father, thank You for calling Pope Francis, Father Mike and all priests and religious. I pray that tons of people will answer the call and follow in Father Mike's footsteps. Lord God, to be more specific, please gift Father Mike extraordinarily with more graces/gifts because, Lord, he is exactly what this world needs. He is so humble and is also fluent in the gift of gab but he uses it for Your Glory. If more people listened to him, Truly listened and followed his advice, the world would be a much better place. Alot of people are busy playing cat and mouse games and focusing on anything but You. How Patiently Loving You are. But I do believe that those in office, those who have the public's ear, those of the money trail would do well listening to Father Mike Schmitz. It could save lives. It could save souls. Jesus, Mary and Joseph pray for us. In the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. ❤

44) Kathleen Finnan: Please pray for my grandneice also to be baptized + likewise parents to come back to the faith.
45) Eduardo Hoover: for the repose of his son. RIP. Bring consolation to Eduardo. Amen
46) I saw a video: Pray for Lewis Howes; in charge of rescuing children and adults from sex trafficking; they are an agency of ex-military and police officers. May they save as many people as possible; they'd rescued 6,000 of a million in danger. It is espionage: called, The Hidden War. Amen
46) I had posted on the wrong day my request; and so, I rewrite it.
Morre Hope: Please pray for my friend; who is the closest friend; taking me to Church; and helped me with my broken foot; now in rehab. Her daughter is in the new phase; her two children are in college entry level; one enrolled. They are adults now; and there is a history of learning problems. There is denial to check them for autism; there are social problems too. As adults the granddaughter does not have the intelligence to give her own; results of the blood work to the doctor; many times. The mother is blamed for that. Grandmother is blaming the mother for shirking her responsibilities upon her. May they come to an agreement; letting go denial; and do what is right for the future of the children. I got myself; as being misjudged; for mentioning the episode of the last time of his anti-socialness. I would not be a good friend; to allow the future of children be poor; BECAUSE: AM I MY BROTHER'S KEEPER ATTITUDE. AMEN. Lord, I did my part; now, you fill in where we fall short; as healing is the children's bread. Amen.

Day 170 takeaways: Who Can Be Baptized? Anyone who has not yet been baptized. God wants us all to be saved. Adult Baptism was most common. There was a preparation process, forming one into the whole Christian life. Because of the serious nature of Original Sin, it became customary to baptize infants and then catechize them at a later time. The person in formation is going through a training montage in learning how to practice virtues, learning what a life of faith is, learning about the liturgy, learning to become a charitable person.
Day 170
Infant Baptism is necessary because born with a fallen nature and tainted with original sin, children have the need of Baptism to be freed from the power of darkness and into the realm of the freedom of the children of God
This is the sheer grace of God because infants have not done anything to merit this....
Excellent summary ❤🙏
Being formed in ChristGodHolySpirit. So see God. I’m sure in Christ you meant being formed in Christ so we see God incarnate
I was taught that if an infant was not baptized and died, the child would go a place called Limbo
Why does the church insist on long courses for parents before they let their children be baptised. We two sets of grandparents have been denied bringing our grand children into the family of God. Please make it easier not harder for children to be baptised.
According to Catholic priest Father Exorcist Carlos Martins and convert (who was a practicing Atheist in his 20's), every person born into the world belongs immediately to the devil because they are born with the stain of original sin so for Jesus' sake, baptize babies! If babies are not baptized, they are objectively not children of God!
Get smart! Let's stop being stupid! Baptize infants to save them from the devils and give them the graces from our Father!

Saturday at mass 2 muslims came to our church and screamed allahu akbar and ran away.
Can or (should) a priest refuse to baptize an infant if the parents have not been catechized?
Father, how about babies born not into a married family (out of wedlock), can they be baptised?
Divorcees?
The answer is very clearly given in the Catechism, Day 170: "IV. WHO CAN RECEIVE BAPTISM" ? where in1246 it clearly states: "Every person not yet baptised and only such a person is able to be baptised". Clearly the baby in any of the scenarios you have listed is not 'at fault' for the circumstances of his/her parents. Why would the baby or child or even later the adult offspring born of a not married (out of wedlock) couple's union or to divorcees be unable to be baptised? The answer to your question is very clearly provided in the Catechism and that answer is: ANYONE and EVERYONE who has not been Baptised can be Baptised. An adult would have preparation for their Baptism. An infant is Baptised - no matter to whom or in what circumstances that infant's conception/birth occurred.
Fr Mike does not personally read nor does he respond to questions here. Today's Catechism section and his discussion already answered your question BUT if you need further verification it would be a good idea to speak to your parish priest so he can confirm what is already stated in the Catechism.
@@vida3123 @vida3123 I'm not being prejudiced here. i heard Father very clearly and was amazed (& glad) that Baptism is for everyone and anyone who is not baptised. I am very surprised bcos, while a niece of mine when she was little, no priests wanted to baptise her precisely bcos she was not born into a marriage family. And the Church (idk exactly who as i was young then) said my mum could not be baptised unless my father who was non Christian and was not living with us (there were some obstacles in seeking Baptism) gave consent. Hence, i posted those questions.
@@ermuajo I am not sure how long ago all that you've described occurred. As I said in my previous response, speak with your Parish priest or a priest that you feel comfortable asking and get their answer.
Regarding your niece being born into a family where her parents were unmarried and the priests not wanting or refusing to baptise her - I think that says more about the ignorance of those priests as it goes against what they should have done.
Refusing to baptise an innocent soul - a baby - is in my view very wrong of those priests.
As for the situation with your Mum, your Mum was an adult and if she wanted to be baptised she most certainly did not need your non Christian father's consent!
I'm truly sorry but both of the scenarios you have described seem bizarre and like the priests are at grave fault and they should never have refused or obstructed anyone from being baptised. That is what the Catechism states and what Fr Mike said - i.e. anyone who is not baptised can be baptised.
Please speak to a priest and raise your questions and concerns with him to get the definitive answers as Fr Mike does not reply to questions here.
my sister is catholic- her grand children were baptized in a luthen church...is this baptism the same -
All Baptisms that use the correct form and matter even those not Catholic are acknowledged as valid.
Once baptized in a Christian Church,, they will not have to be baptized again.
What about a ten year old child who is to be baptized? What is the procedure? . The person is not an adult nor an infant to be baptized but one who has not been baptized before because the parent did not not arrange it.
Many parishes have a children’s RCIA that older children go through to receive baptism. I know our church does & every year we have many children who go through this & receive all the sacraments of initiation at Easter.
There are regular CCD classes specific for those children who have not been Baptized.
Why not infant and adult baptism, they serve different purposes, one is a dedication and the other a washing away of sins committed as a non believer or non practicing Christian
Both wash away original and actual sin. (The only difference is the baby has no actual sin.)
When Philip baptized the eunuch he didn’t go through a year long rcia
Wonder why Jesus was not Baptized as an infant...He was baptized as an adult in the Jordan by John the Baptist....
Baptism as a form of initiation did not occur until after Jesus’ ascension. He was circumcised as per Jewish law.
