Episode Details

In this episode of the Council of Catholic Men, we open with prayer and then guide a Scripture and catechism study centered on the virtue of faith. We read Hebrews 11 in full—reflecting on faith as the “substance of things to be hoped for,” and tracing how Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses, Rahab, and the prophets bore witness through steadfast trust in God. We highlight key footnotes and cross-references, including Genesis (Creation, Abel’s offering, Enoch’s translation) and Matthew 23 on the blood of the righteous, drawing out how faith illuminates both visible and invisible realities and orients us toward the heavenly city God has prepared.

We continue with St. Peter Canisius’s Larger Catechism on faith, outlining the twelve articles of the Apostles’ Creed as the concise rule of Christian belief and noting patristic witnesses who expound the Creed. We share an inspiring reading on St. Agatha from St. Alphonsus Liguori, honoring her courageous martyrdom and unwavering hope in eternal life. We conclude in prayer and preview next week’s study of Hebrews 12 and the first article of the Creed.
