## Resource

In this Bible study and catechism session, we read 1 Peter, chapter 1, reflecting on its core themes of faith, hope, charity, holiness, and endurance amid trials. We read the text and explore its rich scriptural cross-references—from Leviticus’ call to holiness and Deuteronomy’s vision of God’s impartial justice to New Testament insights in Romans, Galatians, Hebrews, James, and Revelation—highlighting how our redemption by the precious blood of Christ secures an imperishable inheritance and summons us to sincere brotherly love.  We then turn to the Catechism with St. Peter Canisius on the sixth article of the Creed, “He ascended into heaven,” contemplating Christ’s exaltation at the right hand of the Father and our hope to follow where the Head has gone before. Drawing on Psalms, the Gospels, Acts, Ephesians, Colossians, and John’s letters, we consider the Ascension as the pledge of our eternal inheritance and a mandate to seek the things above, live as obedient children, and remain steadfast in charity. We conclude in prayer, looking ahead to next week’s theme: “From thence He shall come to judge.”
