I recently discovered that the book, My Catholic Faith is available online. It's a good traditional reference book for Catechism, and was published in 1949. I have had the hard copy for years, but it's good to know it's online, too.

Thanks for sharing this...this is wonderful and I am going to get myself an actual hard copy!Maybe I will have to get three of them...one for each child and one for myself!
Karin, mine is leatherbound, and it really is meant to be a family keepsake - very high quality (and expensive). They make great gifts, too. (I can think of one CAF thorn who could use a copy, actually)
I wish I knew about it last summer...when my eldest was Confirmed...but later is better than never :)...expenes is not an issue, expecially when dealing with things of the Faith, just my opinion!
(yes I agree there are "several" CAF thorns that could use a copy)!
A paramedic who loves her job, but first and foremost, a traditional Catholic who recognizes the tremendous grace and privilege of belonging to the Catholic faith.
And yes, I use Canadian spelling. Humour, centre, colour and such. If you think it's spelled wrong, it's just the Canadian way!
Prayer by St. Thomas Aquinas for thanksgiving after Holy Communion
Workman's prayer to St. Joseph
Glorious St. Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my inclinations; to work with gratitude and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop, by means of labor, the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever recoiling before weariness or difficulties; to work, above all, with purity of intention, and with detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account which I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary, all after your example, O Patriarch Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death. Amen.
O gentlest Heart of Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory, have mercy on the soul of your departed servant Joe. Be not severe in your judgement, but let some drops of Your Precious Blood fall upon him, and send, O merciful Savior, Your angels to conduct him to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.
"Because out of reverence towards this sacrament, nothing touches it, but what is consecrated; hence the corporal and the chalice are consecrated, and likewise the priest's hands, for touching this sacrament." - ST. THOMAS AQUINAS, Summa Theologica

I have had this in my library for several years. It's the Baltimore Catechism and I refer to it often in my homily prep.
I would love to hear one of your homilies, Father. I bet you never water them down, and get everyone's attention.
