. LG # 58. ) As we would expect, having shared at immense cost in earning all graces, she shares similarly in distributing all of them as Mediatrix of all graces. His wisdom "extends from end to end mightily and governs all well" (Wisdom 8:1). It is especially needed that one be free from all deliberate venial sin — in contrast to sins of weakness, sins when one is taken off guard. Chrism is olive oil mixed with balsam and consecrated by the Bishop on Holy Thursday. It can be given before surgery if the illness in itself is serious. This is due in justice, but also, more importantly, in love: we recognize that God is not only infinitely good to us, but also in Himself. The strength of The Faith Explained lies in Fr. There is an emergency case, which happens more readily today than in the past, if someone by social pressure must go to Mass and Holy Communion — for everyone seems to go at every Mass — but yet has committed a mortal sin, perhaps during the night, and has no opportunity for confession before receiving. This article teaches that Jesus is the Redeemer promised to Adam and Eve in Genesis 3:15, the only Son of God, and by that very fact, Lord of all Creation. Theft is the secret taking of an object against the reasonable wishes of the owner. From all eternity He had planned, and in many and various ways had spoken "of old to our Fathers through the prophets. The state of grace is not needed for Baptism and Penance, but is needed for the other Sacraments, though the Last Anointing, in emergency, can make up for even that lack. The same is not to be said of Natural Family Planning: it makes legitimate use of the characteristics God Himself has built into our nature. (Wisdom 11:25). These different relations of origin tell us there are three distinct Persons, who have one and the same divine nature. One of the things we can receive through these Gifts is a high form of guidance. Copyright © 2016 beginningCatholic.com. The Catechism is arranged in four principal parts: The Profession of Faith (the Apostle's Creed) The Celebration of the Christian Mystery (the Sacred Liturgy, and especially the sacraments) Life in Christ (including the Ten Commandments) Christian Prayer (including the Lord's Prayer) Jesus surely would not have expected the crowds who heard Him to think of the Eucharist when He had not yet foretold it. Further, that word many is polloi in Greek, which normally means many. ." It is the center of all else the Church has and does. They are of a nature higher than ours. The Communion follows up, giving us a share in the Divine Victim as He has commanded. It may be received by anyone who is in danger of death from illness, or who is aged enough to be gravely weakened. He also makes his choice between a celibate or married diaconate. Usually the guidance leaves one slightly uncertain: a signal to consult a superior or director. God cannot gain anything by our obedience. The Eighth Beatitude: "Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of what is right: theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.". PART TEN: The Seven Sacraments in General. We notice too there is a difference between private prayers, and those which are said in the name of the Church, by those appointed to do so, the Liturgy of the Hours. Jesus is present wherever the appearances (species) of bread and wine are found after the consecration. Its first edition was written in 1965, long before the official Catechism. If a plenary indulgence is not gained fully, there will still be a partial indulgence. All these teachings are protected by the promises of Christ. Its general benefits go to the whole Church, living and dead. Just as David was the ruler of the kingdom of God on earth, so Jesus is the Head of His visible Kingdom, which is to last forever. We can call God Father only because of our union with his Son, Jesus. Eighth Article: "I believe in the Holy Spirit". In fact, Pope Pius XI said (Explorata res. The angels were not created in heaven, that is, with the vision of God. If only we try to dismiss them as soon as we notice them, they do not spoil, but enrich a prayer, because of the added effort needed in trying to please God. We need to follow His rules, the Commandments, and to move also in the direction of the ideals given us in the Eight Beatitudes. Hence the ideal of not even needing the Sacrament of Penance. However, the authority of the Church over souls ends with death, and so plenary indulgences gained for particular souls in purgatory are left to God's decision. The First commandment: "I am the Lord your God, you shall not have other gods before me". 5, a. There are numerous hot-button issues in the Church today that relate to morality (some of the tenets of Catholicism are under attack, too, but morality is the most serious area). During that time He prescribed a ritual of sacrifices, and a tabernacle and priestly vestments — we could look at their sacrifice, their temple, the vestments of their priests, and could almost think ourselves in our own Church with its sacred rites, in which the true Lamb is offered. But the fire seems to mean the apocalyptic fire of the last day, not a fire of purgatory. They were quite right. Moses gave the law, which Jesus said must stand (Matthew 5:17). The Marks of the Church. St. Peter rebuked him strongly (Acts 8:9-24). God had given to our first parents three levels of gifts: 1) basic humanity, consisting of a body and soul, with mind and will. The Holy Spirit comes or proceeds from both the Father and the Son. As a result not all things were perfectly clear at the start: some, such as the Immaculate Conception, had to slowly mature in the understanding of the Church, as guided by that Holy Spirit. Peter was with Jesus so much. We do not know what form it will take. This was reaffirmed at least implicitly in the Encyclical Sempiternus Rex of Pius XII, and in the Letter of the Holy Office under Paul VI, of July 24, 1966 which complained: "There creeps forth a certain Christological humanism in which Christ is reduced to the condition of a mere man, who gradually acquired consciousness of His divine sonship." The sense in any case is clearly all. 19. when Rome put Herod over them. Hebrews 1:1-2). We find what God has revealed in both Scripture and Tradition, which both come from the same source, and tend to the same goal. But on the third level, that of the Gifts, the answer is given by the Holy Spirit at once, without any step by step process. Time is a measure of change on a scale of before and after (Aristotle, Physics 4:11). So when we say that He made the world — a past expression — to His divine mind it registers as present! There are attributes that follow upon God's relation to this world. The Pyramid Texts, carved on the walls and rooms of Egyptian pyramids, tell us much. (293), Heaven exists; it is the immaterial dwelling place of God. Cf. 2. If anyone thinks the words of Scripture are self-interpreting, so that he does not need the Church, he has only to look at the yellow pages in the telephone book, and see the countless denominations, all of which claim they know the "obvious" meaning of Scripture. The name for one of these patterns is genre. In a partial indulgence instead of mentioning so many years etc. But that is foolish; someone who does that is not really trying to find what the author meant to say — instead, he is imposing his own ideas on the text. And He has given us a powerful counterforce in our Guardian Angels, and the Blessed Mother, and ordinary Saints. 21: "Where your treasure is, there is your heart also"). Sadly, some grow up today doing only what feels good, only as long as it feels good, and so are not at all ready for, perhaps not even capable of, the permanent commitment that marriage must be. There Jesus speaks of the sin against the Holy Spirit that will be forgiven "neither in this world nor in the next." For the just, who had died in the state of grace, and had paid all the debt of their sins, were still not admitted to the vision of God until Jesus had died. He visited what is called the Limbo of the Fathers. It did not make it positively corrupt, surely not totally corrupt as Martin Luther thought. Our participation in the Mass must be most of all interior, joining our obedience to the Father to that of Jesus. In 1820 The Blessed Virgin appeared three times in the chapel of the motherhouse of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, to Catherine Laboure, then a novice. Pharaoh made him Vizier, that is, second in command in Egypt. Hence the uncertainty. Without it, the soul is not capable of the vision of God in heaven. Death entered into this world by sin (Romans 5:12). Not long after, Pope Paul VI in his Encyclical Christi Matris Rosarii pointed out that that statement obviously included the Rosary. This happened when Abraham was 99 years ago, and Sarah was 90. But now, in these “end times” since the Incarnation, God can embody this divine plan in mankind “by the outpouring of the [Holy] Spirit: as the Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.” (CCC 686), The Holy Spirit does not speak of himself or on his own. Similarly the husband does not have the power over his own body but the wife does." But Father Trese’s The Faith Explained is also outstanding. But at once they had a severe problem: Which books are Scripture? This too can be joined to the obedience of Christ. The Yellow Pages in the telephone book prove it, if we look under the word, "Churches." by His bruises we are healed. ' It used to be usual to say that the primary end or purpose of marriage was the procreation and rearing of the offspring, and the secondary end was mutual love and support. Thus we are really "sharers in the divine nature" ( 2 Peter 1:4). 3. The generosity of Our Father is so great that it seems He never can do enough for us. Of course, if God infuses that special confidence, the miracle will come. In commenting on article VII we spoke of Purgatory and Hell. The Muslims were trying to take over all Europe. But it seems it took the Church some time to go further , so as to see that the Church has the keys to a great treasury, as it were, of merits and satisfactions from Christ and our Lady and the Saints, which can be given out by what we call indulgences. This principle has many applications in the material that follows. The Father wills divinity to the Son; Father and Son together will divinity to the Holy Spirit, who is the love of the Father and the Son. It is given in a rite of washing to signify spiritual cleansing and rebirth. The Church has always understood a Real Presence. If you can read both, do so — they complement each other very well. Things do not just go on and on, He takes in everything in one view, as it were. After His resurrection He told the Apostles: "Peace be with you." Similarly, even though love is the greatest virtue, it is not enough to just be nice to people: negative mortification is indispensable for spiritual eyesight, which is improved when we cut down the pulls of creatures upon us, by giving up things. And according to their response, they will or will not be saved. The land in God's ancient promises meant the land of Israel; it had been reinterpreted by this time to mean Heaven. The Church has repeatedly taught, e. g, in the Encyclicals of Pius XII on the Mystical body and on the Sacred Heart, that from the first instant of His conception, Jesus' human mind had the vision of God, in which all knowledge is available. Then too, if the truth is soon to be made known anyway in the same place, little or no reason may be needed to speak of it. This is implied in Scripture and is found in the constant Tradition of the Church. They could not always find the answer to a problem in Scripture, but they said to themselves: Even if we cannot find it, we know there must be an answer, for Scripture, the work of the Holy Spirit, cannot be in error. It is a tragic lack of faith not to believe the Pope and the Church. But the obligation to confess individually later remains for those persons. The Third Beatitude: "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted". It needs to be blessed before use, while the cloth Scapulars that replace the original one blessed in the enrollment need not be blessed. The latter limits us greatly. (1002, 1004), After the Last Judgment, the righteous will reign forever with Christ, glorified in body & soul. We notice the careful language. So this was a virginal conception, that is, without the intervention of a man. Now that group or Church can tell us which books are written with divine inspiration. Early in this century, Dr. Alexis Carrel came to scoff, was converted instead. require restitution, for to retain the stolen goods is to continue the sin. As we mentioned briefly earlier, Science News, August 13, 1983, reported that Allan Wilson, of the University of California, Berkeley, said his study of specimens of mitochrondrial DNA from all over the world, showed all existing humans come from one mother, who lived 350,000 years ago. After this Moses led them through the Red Sea, which miraculously opened for them. About that word foreshadowing: God can and did give prophecies in two ways — in words, and in actions or the very existence of a person or situation. Sixth Article: "He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father almighty", 1. Teaching - Sanctifying - Governing. Cf. This penalty of course must not be private. But her Son is God, so she is the Mother of God. Every Pope since Leo XIII, and Vatican II, in seventeen documents have said that her role in redeeming us extends even to a part in the great sacrifice of Calvary itself! Yet He freely, in view of this principle, and to make all as rich as possible for us, chose to put her everywhere in His approach to us, as Vatican II taught (LG chapter 8: explained in our comments on the third article of the Creed). In this way the patient may benefit both himself and humanity. It will feel like love, but will only be chemistry. All Bishops and Priests have this power. Thus began the Passover, foreshadowing the eternal Passover in which Jesus, within the same ritual that the ancient Hebrews had used, and bringing to our minds again the sacrifice of Melchizedek, as the true High Priest, offered the sacrifice of His own body and blood, before physically giving up that body and blood on the next day. They excel where many others fail: by clearly explaining the basic teachings, especially by showing the Scriptural & logical basis for those teachings. Further, since as St. Paul tells us (cf. If His promises could fail for centuries, we could not trust His promises as all. Hence, the Council added, "It is not only from Sacred Scripture alone that the Church draws its certainty about all revealed things." In it we thank God for what He has done for them, and for us through them. That will to save us is so great that He did not spare His only Son, but sent Him to a horrible death, to make eternal life open for us (Rom 8:32). When were the Gospels written? (748), Christ instituted the Church to be the great, “The Church is in history, but at the same time she transcends it. It does not need to earn redemption all over — that was done once for all (Hebrews 9:28) by His death. Luther saw so clearly that this referred to Purgatory — which he rejected — that he rejected this book too, declaring it not part of Scripture. Jesus opens a new perspective on sorrow and pain: if accepted as part of following after Him, it is not only not a punishment for sin, as many Jews thought (cf. These make the soul capable of taking in the special lights and inspirations He sends in a much higher way than what is had in ordinary graces. The same document added (#50): "Marriage and conjugal love are by their nature ordained to the procreation and education of offspring." (685), The Holy Spirit has been working for our salvation with the Father and the Son from the beginning. The earthly kingdom of the Church will continue in the heavenly kingdom (cf. Finally , Plato, the great Greek philosopher, in his Symposium 203, wrote: "No god associates with men". Examples of sacramental actions are the gestures, postures, bodily movements that are officially associated with the Eucharist and the other sacraments. So if the mother sends the child to tell the salesman at the door that she is not home, the proper interpretation, which the salesman should know is: "Maybe she is here, maybe not. First, the Church is universal because Christ is present in her. It defines the points of unity for Catholics. 1 Cor 15:51). Institution, and History of the Sacrament. In writing this, Vatican II wrote more extensively about her, went farther theologically than all previous Councils combined! At the Last Supper, the outward sign was the seeming separation of body and blood, with the two species. This includes our right relation with God, and with one another. Is there also something like fire in Purgatory? If the person gets better, and then falls again into danger, the Sacrament may be repeated. Sometimes when one is occupied with something else, such a thought may slip into the brain and unroll itself like a movie. Right intention is also needed, i.e., to please God, to be more closely united with Him, to gain a remedy for our weaknesses. Or an historical novel? Vatican II also taught (LG #8): "The one Mediator, Christ, established and constantly sustains His one and holy Church as the visible community of faith, hope and love, by which He pours truth and grace upon all. There are many kinds of sacramentals: they may be actions, words, or objects to which the Church either gives a ritual blessing, or by which the Church teaches we can obtain certain graces. She is the sacrament of the Holy Trinity’s communion with men.” (747), The Church is the place where the Spirit flourishes. Psalm 136:1, "Give thanks to the Lord for He is good.". It is not a lie, since all statements get much of their meaning from the whole context in which they are spoken. Thus for long the name of King Tudiya, first king of Assyria, was considered only a legend. 1116 Sacraments are "powers that comes forth" from the Body of Christ, which is ever-living and life-giving. He meant that nobody could check to see if sins were forgiven, but they could see the cure. Organized in the four parts of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (Creed, Liturgy, and Sacraments, Morality and Prayer), it contains 160 objective questions referenced in the Catechism. So the Church has something more basic than even the Gospels — its own ongoing teaching! We call that life supernatural, since it is above and beyond the natural possibilities of any creature. What would it ever do if it could contemplate clearly the beauty of Mary! Again, to prevent these would take miracles of grace constantly, which would be out of order. Truth telling is in a way a basis for love, for we cannot love what we do not know, or cannot trust. are very good, but not the essentials of participation. It is not a vibration in the air, but it is substantial, it is the Second Divine Person, coming from the Father by as it were an infinite stream of knowledge. Really, the danger to the faith of the Catholic party and to the children is very great. To deliberately rule that out is to fly directly into the face of God's plan. And so St. Justin was right in calling them Christians. The second half of the line shows He wants all to have the special favor of full membership in the Church. God made a covenant with the people through Moses, promising favor if they would obey (Exodus 19:5); Jesus sealed the New Covenant in the obedience of His own blood (Hebrews 9:11-22). He saw this would give an opening to great evils, but also to very great goods. The Aim and Intended Readership of the Catechism 3-6. This is called, God is Father because he is the first origin of all things, and because of his loving care for all of us as his children. VOCAL PRAYER. (Sick person answers: Amen). To gain this promise one must be enrolled in the Confraternity of the Scapular. They are both equal in their rights to the use of marriage (1 Cor 7 2-4) and in seeking eternal salvation (Gal 3:28). Mere reason suggests there must be a Purgatory. He went ahead, and was on the point of actually killing Isaac, when an angel told him to stop. A specially great sacramental is the Rosary. But neither catechism is meant to stand alone as the only reference for Catholic teaching. The final "Amen" of the Latin Vulgate is not in the Greek manuscripts. Our guardian angels are able to put good thoughts into our minds, and to protect us. How can we get from there to the point of being able to be sincerely concerned with the well-being and happiness of another for the other's sake — for that is the definition of love? The best view is this: These Gifts could be compared to receptors, fitted onto the structure of infused virtues, that make it possible to receive inspirations and movements on the wavelength used by the Holy Spirit. 5). Today we do not look on these as part of the Word of God. Many miraculous healings are reported from bathing in the waters. The Catechism of the Catholic Church is a teaching tool. Christ will raise our dead bodies, changed into a spiritual body like Christ’s own glorious body (after his Resurrection), and reunite them to our immortal souls. Benediction with the Blessed Sacrament seems to have started in the 15th century. "And how, if you had not willed it, could anything continue in being if you did not will it?" Her Son was to be called Son of God "for this reason". Direct sterilization is gravely wrong; if one repents and is able without excessive expense and/or risk, he/she ought to have the sterilization reversed. It says the Gospels pass this first test better than Caesar's works could. Pius XII in his Encyclical, Humani generis, in 1950, pointed out that "if the Popes in their Acta pass judgment on a matter thus far debated, it is clear to all that according to the mind and will of the same Pontiffs, the question cannot be considered any more open to free discussion among theologians." One can also look ahead to the time soon to come to see: is something coming soon in which I know the will of the Father? Thanks again to those Targums of which we spoke, we can see how the Jews, even without seeing things fulfilled in Christ, understood the prophecies of the Old Testament about the Messiah, Jesus. He even ordered all boy babies to be killed. For the Jews did always — in spite of the overlordship of Assyria, Babylonia, and Persia — have their own rulers of some sort from that tribe of Judah until 41 B.C., when Rome imposed a foreigner on them as Tetrarch (later, in 37 as king), Herod, who was not of the tribe of Judah, but was by birth, half-Idumean, half-Arab. So his brothers became jealous of him and sold him as a slave into Egypt. It was this: not only the Jews, but the gentiles too are called to be part of the people of God! It is important to notice that three things are needed to make a democracy function as it should: 1) All who have the right to vote should use it , but only, 2) if they are well informed on the issues (otherwise they may be voting for   evil), and, 3) they must vote for the common good, not just for the advantage of their   own group. So, because they accept the Spirit of Christ — without knowing that that is what they are doing — they can even be called Christians. Nothing short of an outright apology is apt to help. We cannot ask: why did God wait so long before creating the world, because before creation, there is no time. St. Thomas Aquinas enumerates four conditions (II-II, 83, 15, ad 2): At first sight this might seem to be selfish, for we should pray for others, really, for all human beings. We are going to start with the Gospels — but we must be very careful. In our own day, Lourdes and Fatima attract pilgrims by the thousands. For death makes permanent the attitude of will with which one leaves this world. In Deuteronomy 4:6 Moses tells the people that if they obey the law, other nations will say: "This great nation is really a wise and understanding people." So one who calls it unchristian contradicts Scripture. There is, however a social aspect to private property, of which we shall speak soon. Many today think that the human body evolved from lower beings. Vatican II, On Divine Revelation # 9, said: " The Church draws her certainty on what is revealed not only from Sacred Scripture.". Our dependence on Him for continued existence is like that of the images on the movie screen dependent on the projector. This opinion of the Doctors of the Church, in harmony with the sentiments of the Christian people, and supported by the experience of all times, depends especially on this reason: the fact that the Sorrowful Virgin shared in the work of the Redemption with Jesus Christ. Then He asked: "What is easier to say: 'Your sins are forgiven,' or 'Take your bed and walk?'" And his name shall be called: Wonderful counsellor, God the Mighty, Father forever, the Prince of Peace. Hallucinations do not dry clothing. Later, in his wonderful chapter 53, Isaiah spoke vividly of the death and even the resurrection of Jesus — for in verses 10-13, after describing His suffering and death, we read: "If he makes himself a sin-offering, He shall see his offspring, He shall prolong His days. As to smoking, we consider whether the gravity of the evil risked (considering also percentages of chances) is balanced by real benefits. Hence they transmit to us only that basic humanity, without the other gifts. We may and must disobey immoral commands or laws contrary to those of God and the Church. Such separation does not give a right to remarry. The sense is the same. On May 17, 1979, the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith explained: "She [the Church] believes that there will be eternal punishment for the sinner, who will be deprived of the sight of God, and that this punishment will have a repercussion on the whole being of the sinner."
