Year 2 Confirmation – Key Learnings Year 2 Confirmation – Key Learnings Chosen Chap. 8 1. Grace is God’s gift of his life to us. Without grace we are spiritually dead and unable to share in the eternal life of heaven. The word “grace” comes from the Latin word for “gift” because grace is a gift, we don’t earn it. CROSS with #76 2. Sacrament is a sacred sign that Christ gave to the Church to deliver grace to us, share his divine life with us, and make us holy. 3. The seven sacraments include the sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist), the sacraments of healing (Penance or Confession and the Anointing of the Sick) and the sacraments of Service (Holy Orders, and Matrimony). REPEAT of #21 Chap. 9 4. Original Sin – the absence of grace in us at birth that was the result of our fist parents’ disobedience. 5. Personal Sin – intentional wrongdoing for which we are personally responsible, going against the Will of God, 6. Baptism is the first of the seven sacraments that takes away this original sin and leaves a permanent or indelible mark on your soul. It is the first step toward eternal life. 7. Besides water, which represents a washing away of original sin, other symbols of Baptism are a white garment representing purity and the sacred chrism oil that is also used at Confirmation. REPEAT of #66 8. The oil used at both Baptism and Confirmation is sacred chrism oil. REPEAT of #66 Chap. 10 9. The conditions of mortal sin are a. It must include a grave matter b. You must have full knowledge c. You must fully give your consent to committing it i. Culpability – refers to the degree to which we are responsible for the sin 10. Mortal sins must be confessed in both number and kind 11. In confessing our sins, we must repent of them (be determined not to commit them again) 12. In the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession), four important things are happening: a. It gives us a direct encounter with God (as is true of all sacraments) b. It gives us power to stop sinning c. It reconciles us with God and the Church d. It eliminates any confusion about whether we’re forgiven Chap. 11 13. The Sacrament of the Sick confers a special grace on those who receive it, especially those in danger of death due to serious illness. 1 14. Suffering only has meaning when we allow ours to be joined with Christ’s. When we do this, our own suffering becomes redemptive. We cooperate with the Father who used Christ’s suffering to redeem our souls and bring us to salvation. 15. Emmanuel means “God is with us” – EVEN IN OUR SUFFEING. 16. God did not create suffering nor does He cause it. He allows it just as he allows us to choose to sin. Suffering is a direct result of sin, not just personal but original also. When Adam and Eve chose sin for all of humanity, they were removed from Eden or a permanent state of grace (life with God); aside from which suffering WILL exist. Chap. 12 17. The Holy Spirit a. Is the third person of the Trinity b. “Proceeds” from the Father and the Son (He was not created by them but is coeternal with them) c. Is the author of Holy Scripture d. Is called “the Lord the giver of life” e. Is called “the breath of life” f. Is the “Paraclete” or “Advocate” that Jesus promised to send when he ascended into heaven g. Transforms us through sanctifying grace (present in all the sacraments) as He is the pipeline or conduit of God’s grace h. Empowers us with His gifts i. Is the soul and therefore defender of the Church Chap. 13 18. The 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit are found in Isaiah 11:2-3 a. Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge, Counsel (Right Judgment), Piety (Reverence), Fortitude (Courage), Fear of the Lord (Wonder and Awe) b. REPEAT of #74 19. The Fruits of the Holy Spirit are qualities that define us as Christians and help us to grow in holiness and draw others into the Church (relationship with God) a. Charity (love), Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Generosity, Gentleness, Faithfulness, Modesty, Self-control, Chastity b. REPEAT of #75 20. Charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit are those given to help serve the Church; some are more extraordinary a. Speaking in tongues, Prophesy, Healing, Preaching, Counsel, Teaching Chap. 14 21. Sacraments of Initiation are: Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation REPEAT of #3 22. Confirmation is often called the Sacrament of Christian Maturity. The word “confirmation” means strengthening 23. Confirmation makes us soldiers for Christ and equips us to spread and defend the faith by word and deed, as witnesses of Jesus 24. The bishop is the ordinary minister of the Sacrament of Confirmation 2 25. When we are anointed at Confirmation, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit and this leaves an “indelible” mark on our souls much like a tattoo or brand that can never be undone Chap. 15 26. Transubstantiation is the miracle that happens at the consecration of the bread and wine being changed into Christ’s Body and Blood. 27. The Mass/Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life, the beginning and the most important part of the Christian life, participating in it is the most important thing we can do on earth 28. The ancient Jewish feast of the Passover is a foreshadowing of the Mass 29. Eucharist means “thanksgiving”, Liturgy means “work”, and Mass means “mission” and was first celebrated by Jesus at the Last Supper 30. The two main parts of the Mass are the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist 31. Anyone who commits a mortal sin must first go to confession before receiving the Eucharist 32. In Persona Christi Capitis means “in the person of Christ the Head” and this term refers to the priest Chap. 16 33. The commitment of each spouse in marriage must be: free, total, faithful, and fruitful (life-giving). 34. The purposes of marriage is: the procreation of children, the education of children, the mutual sanctification of the spouses. 35. An annulment is a decree that states that the relationship in question was not a valid marriage. 36. The Church’s teaching on marriage is based on both Natural Law and Divine Law and cannot be changed as both come from God. Chap. 17 37. The priesthood was established when Jesus called the Twelve Apostles. 38. Holy Orders is the sacrament by which the mission entrusted by Christ to the apostles continues to be exercised within the Church. This is why the priest acts “in persona Christi” when he ministers to the people of God. He is not ministering in his own name but in the name/person of Christ. 39. Celibacy is a discipline (not a rule, law, dogma, or doctrine), by which the priest promises to remain free of marriage and chaste so that he can imitate the total love of Christ for his Church. Chap. 18 40. Prayer is the communication with God that sustains and deepens our relationship with him (Note communication is or should be two-way) 41. “Lectio Divina” means “Divine Reading.” Its four steps include: Read, Reflect, Relate, Rest 42. Contemplation is a type of prayer marked by simple silence in the presence of God; often considered the highest state of prayer because it includes a special closeness to God that is a taste of what it will be like in heaven 43. Meditation is a type of prayer in which we think about God and try to understand what he has said and is saying to us (listening is the key) – NOT vocal prayer. 3 44. Effective prayer requires 3 things of us: discipline, effort, patience Chap. 19 45. Communion of Saints refers to all who are part of God’s family; those on earth (Church Militant), those in Purgatory (Church Penitent), and those in Heaven (Church Triumphant) 46. Immaculate Conception refers to Mary’s conception within the womb of her mother, St. Anne. Mary was conceived without original sin. 47. Assumption refers to Mary being taken up to heaven at the moment her life on earth ended 48. Apparitions or the appearance of a heavenly being on earth, are considered by the Church to be private revelations and we are not required to believe (in) them. However, the Church HAS approved some apparitions and not approved others. 49. Mother of God is a title we use for Mary because she is the Mother of Jesus who is God. This was finalized at the Council of Ephesus in 431 AD. 50. Ever Virgin is a term we use to describe Mary’s perpetual virginity as demonstrated in the Bible when she responds to the Angel by saying, “How will this be since I know not man.” St. Jerome says this question betrays her vow of virginity since she was betrothed to Joseph. Chap. 20 51. Beatitudes – mean ultimate, true, and lasting happiness; they are among Jesus’ most fundamental teachings a. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. b. Blessed are then who mourn, for they will be comforted. c. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land. d. Blessed are they who huger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. e. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. f. Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God.

  • Ecclesial Authorship, the Council, and the Liturgy: Reflections on a Debate Between Ratzinger and Lefebvre
    Ecclesial Authorship, the Council, and the Liturgy: Reflections on a Debate between Ratzinger and Lefebvre INNOCENT SMITH, O.P. PRIORY OF ST. VINCENT FERRER, 869 Lexington Ave. New York, NY 10065 USA Abstract In the early 1980s, Cardinal Ratzinger and Archbishop Lefebvre undertook a corre­ spondence concerning the reception of the texts of the Second Vatican Council and the liturgical rites promulgated by Pope Paul VI. In contrast to Lefebvre 's hermeneutical emphasis on the individual drafters of the documents, Ratzinger proposed that these texts and rites should be understood not as the productions of individuals but as documents of the Magisterium and liturgical rites of the Church. In this essay, Ratzinger 's distinction is explored further by appeal to the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas, who offers helpful in­ dications/or understanding the respective roles of individuals and the Church as a whole in the development of liturgical and doctrinal expressions of the faith of the Church. The essay concludes by proposing a language of "ecclesial authorship" of magisterial and liturgical texts that emphasizes the continuity that abides in the reform and development of the Church 's liturgy and doctrine. Introduction On 6 January 1966, acting in his capacity as Superior General of the Con­ gregation of the Holy Spirit, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre exhorted his brothers to study the texts of the Second Vatican Council with genuine devotion and to submit themselves to the will of God as expressed in the documents emanating from it: But to profit by the labours of the Council-by the results achieved, which alone matter-we must study the texts with genuine devotion, i.e.

  • St. Basil the Great Catholic Church Meaning of the Mass 2019-1-20
    St. Basil the Great Catholic Church Meaning of the Mass 2019-1-20 The Chasuble The chasuble is the outermost vestment (article of clothing) that priests and deacons wear at ​ ​ Mass. The color corresponds with the liturgical season or feast of the day. Liturgical seasons instruct us ​ ​ ​ where to put our spiritual focus. Green is worn during Ordinary Time is the color of growth. White or ​ ​ ​ Gold means celebration! Red symbolizes the blood of the martyrs so if we’re celebrating the feast or ​ ​ ​ memorial of a martyr, the priest will wear a red chasuble. Red also symbolizes the fire of the Holy Spirit, so red is the appropriate color for Pentecost or liturgies where the Sacrament of Confirmation is being celebrated. Purple is worn during Advent and Lent as a sign of penance, sacrifice, and preparation. ​ ​ The word chasuble comes from a Latin word meaning “little house”, and the chasuble is the ​ ​ outermost layer and covers everything else that the priest or deacon wears. This calls to mind ​ ​ something St. Paul says in the Bible in Colossians 3:14. He lists several virtues but then concludes “...and ​ over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection.” The chasuble symbolizes love, which for clergy ​ and in fact all Christians covers everything we do. The final purpose of the chasuble is to hide the person of the priest! Throughout Scripture and ​ ​ Catholic tradition, veils play a prominent hiding role. During celebration of the Sacraments, the priest is acting in persona Christi, a Latin phrase meaning “in the person of Christ”.

  • "In Persona Christi" Its Significance for the Theology of Ministerial
    "IN PERSONA CHRISTI" ITS SIGNIFICANCE FOR THE THEOLOGY OF MINISTERIAL PRIESTHOOD IN THE DOCUMENTS OF VATICAN II by Jerome F. Thompson, B.A. A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Milwaukee, Wisconsin Apr iI, 1987 Preface It was in my service as Coordinator of Hispanic Affairs for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee that I felt the need to formally work toward a degree in theology at Marquette University. The Hispanic community and the staff of the Apostolate inspired and encouraged me to undertake the task. A lot of years and a lot of work have intervened since this work was first begun. I wish to express my thanks to the Hispanic community and staff in Milwaukee for their continued personal and academic support. It am grateful to the members of the theology department of Marquette, especially Rev. William Kelly SJ and Rev. Philip J. Rossi SJ in their assistance as chairs of the department, to Rev. Richard Roach SJ, my first advisor, and Rev. Donald Keefe SJ, my final advisor, for their patience and guidance, and to Rev. Joseph Lienhard SJ and Rev. Joseph Murphy SJ who served on the reading and approval committee. I wish also to express my thanks to the officers and staff of the National Organization for the Continuing Education of Roman Catholic Clergy (NOCERCC) for whom I have worked these past five years for nudging me on and enduring my research ,and writing. Catholic Theological Union in Chicago provided a great support to me especially through its fine library resources.

  • IN PERSONA CHRISTI: TOWARDS a SECOND NAIVETE DENNIS MICHAEL FERRARA Washington, D.C
    Theological Studies 57 (1996) IN PERSONA CHRISTI: TOWARDS A SECOND NAIVETE DENNIS MICHAEL FERRARA Washington, D.C. N ATTEMPTING to implement with some degree of methodological or­ I der the wise Leonine adage that genuine development builds upon the past and carries it forward, the theologian's first task, as Lonergan noted, is to determine what the past really was.1 Given the slow-footed nature of human knowing,2 such efforts at precision, while method­ ologically necessary, are seldom methodologically pure, especially when received readings of the past seem to hinder that more sophis­ ticated understanding which current awareness makes not only possi­ ble but necessary. In such cases, attempts to retrieve the past in a creative manner inevitably begin with a kind of exorcism in which the mind "deconstructs" these received readings in order to establish a new and more contemporary horizon. Well and good, provided decon- struction is self-critical enough to exorcise itself of a triumphalist my­ opia of the present that confuses received truth with merely historical accretion. For deconstruction is only the first step of a genuine re­ trieval. The second, perhaps even more difficult, step is a reconstruc­ tion in which the new insight that provides the basis for deconstruction is itself de-absolutized so as to allow the perduring truth coming out of the past to be positively preserved in a new instantiation. In this pro­ cess, the mind experiences a kind of "second naïveté," in which the past comes to view not as a demon holding it in thrall, but as a previous stage of its own historical existence and hence as vital to its ongoing self-identity.
