Council of Catholic Men Catechism and Bible Study 2025 December 24

In this Christmas Eve episode of Council of Catholic Men, we continue our study of the Letter to the Hebrews with chapters 3–5, reflecting on Christ’s supremacy over Moses, the call to enter God’s rest, and Jesus as our compassionate and eternal High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek. We highlight the exhortation to persevere in faith, the power of God’s living word, and the invitation to approach the throne of grace with confidence. We then turn to the Small Catechism of St. Peter Canisius, reviewing the fruits of the Spirit, the eight Beatitudes, the evangelical counsels, and the Four Last Things, followed by a curated series of Scripture passages used for defending and clarifying Catholic doctrine and unity. We close with a reading from St. Alphonsus Liguori on the lives and witness of St. Chrysogonus and St. Anastasia, contemplating their steadfast charity, courage under persecution, and final triumph in martyrdom. The episode begins and ends in prayer, inviting listeners to enter the mystery of the season with renewed hope and fidelity to Christ and His Church.
