The Paschal Mystery, Part 2 (Catechism Series Part 12) - Auspice Maria Ep. 42

Auspice Maria with Bishop James Ruggieri

In this episode of the Auspice Maria podcast, Bishop James Ruggieri continues his thematic walk through the Catechism of the Catholic Church, focusing on paragraphs 571–630 and the heart of the Paschal Mystery. The center of the Christian faith, he reminds us, is not first a moral code or a philosophy, but a proclamation: God loves you. Bishop Ruggieri reflects on how Christ reveals the Father’s love through personal encounter. His love leads intentionally to the cross as the culmination of God’s saving plan. Christ freely gives himself “to the end,” revealing that love is stronger than sin and death. A full transcript can be found on our website at https://portlanddiocese.org/news/auspice-maria-ep-42
