2 Title of Resource: Jesus Christ: Source of Our Salvation Grade Level: 10 Publisher: Ave Maria Press Publication Date: Knowledge of the Faith Gr The first confessions of the Church s faith affirm from the beginning that the power, honor, and glory due to God the Father, are due also to Jesus because he was in the form of God. This is not directly stated Gr Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh, is the fulfillment of the Covenant and the promise of redemption. Gr The redeeming plan of God is realized and revealed through the life of Jesus and his public ministry. Gr Christ was put to death for the sins of humans and raised for their justification. Gr The religious truths about creation are conveyed through the Book of Genesis. Gr The Old Testament Covenants reveal the fidelity of God and the strivings of the People of God to respond faithfully. Chapter 2, The Fall and the Promise of a Savior, pp. 31, 33, 36, 38, 42, 45; Chapter 5, The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ, p. 121 Chapter 2, The Fall and the Promise of a Savior, p. 35; Chapter 5, The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ, pp. 112, 119, 127; Chapter 7, Redemption through the Paschal Mystery, p. 163 Chapter 1, God s Good Creation: The Beginning of Salvation History, pp. 3-4, 22, 36; Chapter 4, The Ministry and Message of Jesus Christ, p. 103 Chapter 1, God s Good Creation: The Beginning of Salvation History, pp. 2, 8 Gr The promise of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, the Anointed One, reveals God s purpose to Chapter 2, The Fall and the Promise of a Savior, pp Chapter 2, The Fall and the Promise of a Savior, pp Although not directly stated, this idea is implied throughout these pages, especially concerning God s fidelity.

3 redeem the world. Gr The source of all creation is the Trinity. Chapter 2, The Fall and the Promise of a Savior, pp. 35, 45 Gr The divine plan of salvation is the work of the Trinity. The Father gives the Son by the action of the Holy Spirit in Mary. Chapter 1, God s Good Creation: The Beginning of Salvation History, p. 22 Gr While the body and soul suffer separation in death, God will grant incorruptible life to all peoples bodies, reuniting them with their souls, through the power of Jesus Resurrection, on the last day. At that time, there will be a Last Judgment in which the hearts of all people will be laid bare. Gr Each person receives eternal punishment or reward in his or her immortal soul at the very moment of death in a personal and particular judgment; either entrance into the blessedness of heaven or immediate and everlasting damnation. Those who enter into heaven do so either immediately or first pass through a purification. Gr Heaven is the ultimate end and fulfillment of the deepest human longings, the state of supreme, definitive happiness, the joy of being and living with God. Gr Purgatory is the temporary state of final purification of those who die in God s grace and friendship, and so are assured of eternal salvation, but are not yet in the state of holiness necessary to enter fully into the joy of heaven. Gr The state of definitive self-exclusion from communion with God and the blessed is called Chapter 3, The Coming of the Messiah, pp. 59, 62 Chapter 7, Redemption through the Paschal Mystery, pp Chapter 7, Redemption through the Paschal Mystery, pp Chapter 7, Redemption through the Paschal Mystery, pp. 172, Chapter 7, Redemption through the Paschal Mystery, pp. 173, 175, Eternal damnation is also referred to simply as hell.

4 eternal damnation. Gr Mary, Ever-Virgin, immaculately conceived, with her whole being the Handmaid of the Lord, already enjoying the fruits of the Resurrection, is the exemplar of the holiness of the Church. Gr Angels are spiritual beings who act as messengers for God s plan of salvation. They were created through and for Christ whom they adore and feely serve. Gr Those who live in Charity, which God gives through faith, live their lives in joy, peace, and mercy. Gr The common good is always a fundamental guiding principle that places limits on individual behavior. Gr The state, or the political authority, must defend and promote the common good for society. Chapter 2, The Fall and the Promise of a Savior, pp. 36, 42, 44; Chapter 3, The Coming of the Messiah, pp ; Chapter 5, The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ, p. 125 Chapter 2, The Fall and the Promise of a Savior, p. 40 Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A Call to Holiness, pp Page 125 best explains this idea, although it is also on the other pages. Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A Call to Holiness, p. 189 Chapter 9, Discipleship: Jesus, p. 223 Page 189 has the implication of this idea, although it is not directly stated. Gr Greek philosophy included an understanding of being (Greek word ousia ) and person (Greek work hypostasis ) that were helpful in the doctrinal Catholic Handbook for Faith, p. 267 This concept is not explained directly in the text, but it is referenced on page 267. explanation of the Trinity and the relationship of the human and divine in Jesus Christ. 2 Liturgical Life Gr The Paschal Mystery reveals the fullness of the divine plan for redemption (i.e. the restoration of humanity s wounded relationship with God). Chapter 5, The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ, p. 128; Chapter 6, The Resurrection of Jesus Christ, pp. 136, 153; Chapter 7, Redemption through the Paschal Mystery, p. 169; Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Chapter 7 in general emphasizes this concept, but especially on page 169.

5 Gr God, the Father, allowed his Son, Jesus Christ, to suffer and die because Jesus sacrifice destroyed the power of sin and restored people to friendship with God. Gr The Resurrection is the historical event by which Christ, who truly died and was buried, triumphs in glory over sin and death and accomplishes the work of redemption. Gr Jesus Christ reveals through the Paschal Mystery that self-giving love is the path to eternal life and happiness. Gr The Ascension is the glorification of Jesus Christ that culminates in the sending forth of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Gr Disciples of Christ unite their suffering with Jesus in order to share in Christ s redemptive love. Gr Participation in the Paschal Mystery occurs through the sacramental life of the Church, especially in the Holy Eucharist. Mystery: A Call to Holiness, p. 187; Catholic Handbook for Faith pp Chapter 5, The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ, p. 128 Chapter 6, The Resurrection of Jesus Christ, pp. 134, 136 Chapter 5, The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ, p. 112; Chapter 7, Redemption through the Paschal Mystery, p. 175; Chapter 9, Discipleship: Jesus, p. 230 Chapter 6, The Resurrection of Jesus Christ, pp Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A Call to Holiness, p. 204 Chapter 6 in general discusses this concept, although it is emphasized on pages 134 and 136. Chapter 6, The Resurrection of Jesus Christ, pp ; Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A Call to Holiness, p. 192 Gr The sacraments are the privileged way by which Christ sanctifies the Church through the power of the Holy Spirit and grants her the means of holiness. Gr A constitutive aspect of the life of a disciple of Jesus Christ and member of the Church is Chapter 7, Redemption through the Paschal Mystery, pp. 166, 169 Chapter 6, The Resurrection of Jesus Christ, p. 150; Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A

6 regular participation in the sacramental life of the Church. Gr Christ entrusted the sacraments to the Church for the sake of salvation of all. Gr The celebration of the Christian mysteries, especially through the sacraments, is a privileged mode of prayer for the Church. Gr The Church is called to reflect how signs, symbols, and rituals of sacramental life demonstrate Christ s presence in the world. Gr Baptismal grace is a grace of free, unmerited election and does not need ratification to become effective. Confirmation deepens baptismal grace and calls forth greater responsibility. It is not to be understood as an individual making an adult choice to ratify or affirm that which was promised for them as infants in Baptism. Gr The Eucharist is the center of the life of the Church. It is the event from which the Church draws her inspiration and strength, and the worship of God in the Eucharist is the most profound expression of her nature. Gr Christ is really present in the Eucharistic celebration under four modes: in the person of the priest presider, in the assembly gathered, in the Word proclaimed, and, in a unique way, in the Sacred Species. Call to Holiness, p. 192; Chapter 9, Discipleship: Following in the Footsteps of Jesus, p. 229 Chapter 7, Redemption through the Paschal Mystery, p. 169 Chapter 6, The Resurrection of Jesus Christ, pp Chapter 6, The Resurrection of Jesus Christ, pp. 136, 151; Chapter 7, Redemption through the Paschal Mystery, pp. 164, 168, 170; Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A Call to Holiness, p. 197; Chapter 9, Discipleship: Following in the Footsteps of Jesus, pp Chapter 6, The Resurrection of Jesus Christ, p. 151; Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A Call to Holiness, p. 198; Chapter 9, Discipleship: Following in the Footsteps of Jesus, pp. 219, 228; Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, pp Chapter 6, The Resurrection of Jesus Christ, p. 151 This idea is not in the text. These pages illustrate that Christ is present in the world, but there is no reference to the Church s reflection. The final idea in this concept, beginning with It is not to be understood, is not referenced

7 Gr The Liturgy of the Word serves as an integral part of the Eucharistic celebration, both through the proclamation of the Word and the believers response of faith that is called forth. Chapter 7, Redemption through the Paschal Mystery, p. 166 The importance of the Liturgy of the Word is on page 166, but there is no reference to the proclamation and responses. Gr The Church invites and mentors people to participate in the liturgy in ways appropriate to age and ability. This idea is not in the text. Gr Reading and reflecting on the Scriptures to be proclaimed at the Sunday Eucharist prior to Sunday can allow the Christian to engage in more active listening during its proclamation. Gr The Church calls all Catholics to keep Sunday, the Lord s Day, holy by participating at Mass and resting from labor in honor of Jesus Resurrection. This idea is not in the text. Chapter 1, God s Good Creation: The Beginning of Salvation History, p. 16; Chapter 9, Discipleship: Following in the Footsteps of Jesus, p. 219 Gr The faithful living of baptismal promises requires that Christians address any challenge posed by the cultures in which they live. Gr One way in which one lives the discipleship demanded by Christian Baptism is by a life of stewardship in which, thankful for the gifts one has received, one gives generously for the good of the Church and those in need. Chapter 9, Discipleship: Jesus, pp This idea is not specifically stated in the text. Gr The faith community is called to prepare Catholics to understand and exercise roles as lay ministers in the liturgy. This idea is not in the text. Gr It is Christ, who as the eternal High Priest, works through Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, p. 283 This idea is alluded to, but not directly

8 the ministries of priests, to offer stated himself as a sacrifice for people s sins in the celebration of the Mass. Gr The Liturgy of the Hours serves as a part of the official communal prayer of the Catholic Church. Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, pp. 251, 254; Catholic Handbook for Faith, p Moral Formation Gr Living the call to holiness is rooted in the Commandment of Love. Chapter 9, Discipleship: Jesus, pp. 214, , 229 Gr The Ten Commandments call Christians to practice certain virtues and forbid immoral behaviors. Gr The Old Law prepares the way for conversion and faith in Jesus. Gr In the Old Testament, the Tenth commandment prohibits coveting one s neighbors goods. In the New Testament, Jesus tells his disciples that an attachment to riches is an impediment to entering the Kingdom of God. Gr The Third Commandment calls Catholics to attend Sunday Mass, or its vigil, keeping the Lord s Day holy. Christians are called to spend time with family and friends, to help those in need, and to refrain from work or actions that keep themselves, or others, from worshipping God on Sunday. Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A Call to Holiness, p. 202; Chapter 9, Discipleship: Jesus, pp Chapter 2, The Fall and the Promise of a Savior, pp ; Chapter 4, The Ministry and Message of Jesus Christ, p. 101 Chapter 9, Discipleship: Jesus, pp , 232 Chapter 9, Discipleship: Jesus, p. 219 These pages refer to how the Law is related to the coming of Jesus but do not necessarily reference the preparation for his coming.

9 Gr From the Fifth Commandment flows the teaching that human life is valuable and needs to be respected and protected from the moment of conception until natural death, because the human person has been willed for its own sake in the image and likeness of the living and holy God. Gr The Sixth Commandment teaches the practice of chastity through purity of thought, modest behavior, dress and speech. Sexual intercourse is a moral and human good reserved for the intimacy of a married man and woman. Gr In the Beatitudes, Jesus confronts his disciples with decisive choices between living in conformity with values of the Kingdom of God and of worldly values. Gr Jesus instructs his disciples to treat others with the utmost respect, understanding, and compassion. In doing so, Christians discover how to live and apply the Third Beatitude, which helps one have forgiveness in their heart and identify with the Lord who suffered wrongs patiently. Gr Part of striving to do God s will is to realize that God teaches that Christians demonstrate their love for him by taking care of each other. The Fourth Beatitude refers to a Christian s desire to place God s righteous will into action about all else, and then work unceasingly with his help to grow in holiness, justice, and truth. Gr In the Fifth Beatitude, Chapter 1, God s Good Creation: The Beginning of Salvation History, p. 16; Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A Call to Holiness, pp ; Chapter 9, Discipleship: Jesus, pp Chapter 9, Discipleship: Jesus, pp Chapter 4, The Ministry and Message of Jesus Christ, pp ; Chapter 9, Discipleship: Jesus, pp. 213, Chapter 9, Discipleship: Jesus, p. 224 Chapter 9, Discipleship: Jesus, p. 224 Chapter 9, Discipleship:

10 Jesus instructs his disciples to temper justice with mercy just as Jesus, p. 224 God has shown his Divine mercy in the salvation achieve in Jesus Christ. Gr The suffering and death of Jesus on the cross shows one the depth of the love of God for humanity and the depravity of human sinfulness. Gr When people sin, they offend God by disobeying his will, expressed in the eternal law, for them to do good. This is contrary to the example of Jesus, who was always obedient to his Father. Gr The Church as the Body and Bride of Christ is sinless, but Church members sin and are in continual need of purification, penance, and renewal. Gr The grace of original holiness was for human beings to share in God s life. Humanity was created to be in friendship with God, with each other, and with the world around them. Authentic human happiness first flows out of these relationships. Original Sin and its effects on all of humanity, rooted in disobedience, deprive the human race of this original holiness and justice. Gr Grave sins deprive one of communion with God and eternal life, the denial of which is called eternal punishment. The forgiveness of sin and restoration of communion with God entails the Chapter 5, The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ, p. 128 Chapter 2, The Fall and the Promise of a Savior, pp ; Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A Call to Holiness, p. 202 Chapter 1, God s Good Creation: The Beginning of Salvation History, pp. 7-8; Chapter 6, The Resurrection of Jesus Christ, p. 153; Chapter 7, Redemption through the Paschal Mystery, pp. 168, , Chapter 1, God s Good Creation: The Beginning of Salvation History, p. 18; Chapter 2, The Fall and the Promise of a Savior, p. 32; Chapter 6, The Resurrection of Jesus Christ, p. 136; Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A Call to Holiness, pp Chapter 7, Redemption through the Paschal Mystery, pp ,

11 remission of eternal punishment. Gr Every sin, even venial sin, entails an unhealthy attachment to created goods, which is called temporal punishment that must be purified, either on earth, or after death in the state called Purgatory. Gr Grace is a gift of God s absolute goodness and mercy which pardons sins, heals, and gives life. Gr Through God s gift of justification, manifested through Jesus saving act and given by power of the Holy Spirit, one turns toward God and away from sin. Through this cooperation between God s grace and man s freedom, one receives forgiveness and righteousness which includes remission of sins, sanctification, and renewal of the inner person. Gr Sanctifying grace is the love of God entering one s soul; healing one from sin and restoring holiness. Gr People can have merit in God s sight only because of God s free plan to associate humanity with the work of his grace. Merit is to be ascribed in the first place to the grace of God, and secondly to a person s collaboration. A person s merit is due to God. Chapter 7, Redemption through the Paschal Mystery, pp Chapter 6, The Resurrection of Jesus Christ, p. 136; Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A Call to Holiness, pp Chapter 2, The Fall and the Promise of a Savior, p. 43; Chapter 7, Redemption through the Paschal Mystery, p. 168; Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A Call to Holiness, p. 196 Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A Call to Holiness, p Chapter 5, The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ, p. 128 Gr Catholics are called to obey always the certain judgment of conscience. Conscience can remain in ignorance or make erroneous judgments. Such ignorance and errors are not Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A Call to Holiness, pp

12 always free of guilt. Gr Church teachings help to form one s conscience in hearing the voice of God. Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A Call to Holiness, p. 202 Gr Natural law, because it is grounded in the fundamental realities of what it means to be human, is objective in its requirements and immutable for all time. Gr Infallibility, a gift to the Church by the Holy Spirit, by which the teaching office of the Church has the ability to teach both faith and morals without error, means that the Church s teaching in the area of morals has universal significance. Chapter 2, The Fall and the Promise of a Savior, pp Chapter 1, God s Good Creation: The Beginning of Salvation History, pp. 6, 8 Gr The human person has inherent dignity because of being created in the image and likeness of God. Chapter 1, God s Good Creation: The Beginning of Salvation History, p. 14 Gr Every person has value and inherent dignity. It is the moral duty of every social institution to safeguard the sanctity of human life and to work to enhance the qualities of human existence. Gr The faith community is called to give witness to the Gospel of Life. Some of the ways in which this can be realized are social analysis, advocacy, and direct aid. Chapter 1, God s Good Creation: The Beginning of Salvation History, p. 14; Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A Call to Holiness, pp This idea is not in the text. Gr Christians are called to appropriate and live the moral teaching of Jesus and his Church. Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A Call to Holiness, pp Gr Christians are called to strive to be imitators of Christ as beloved children united with him; to walk in love by conforming their Chapter 3, The Coming of the Messiah, p. 67; Chapter 7, Redemption through the Paschal Mystery, pp

13 thoughts, words, and actions to the mind of Christ; and by following his example. Gr Active participation in the sacramental life of the Church strengthens one to live the moral life. Gr An effective moral life demands the practice of Theological and Cardinal Virtues which train the soul and guides one s conduct according to the dictates of faith and reason. Gr A vice is a habit acquired by repetition of the same sinful acts, making one more likely to sin again. Gr Christians are called to live the full meaning of love, sexual intimacy, and chastity in conformity with Christ s example of love and the teachings of the Church. Gr Marriage between a baptized man and a baptized woman involves the total gift of themselves to each other, in which their expression of sexual love is intimately connected with remaining open to new life. To preserve this good, the Church calls husbands and wives to act responsibly when creating new life, never using means that close themselves to the life aspect of their reciprocal commitment, even when their intentions are legitimate. Gr Sexual (conjugal) love between a married man and woman fully expresses God s twofold design for humanity that is both unitive and procreative. Chapter 7, Redemption through the Paschal Mystery, p. 166; Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A Call to Holiness, p. 202 Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A Call to Holiness, pp Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A Call to Holiness, pp Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A Call to Holiness, p. 191; Chapter 9, Discipleship: Jesus, pp Chapter 9, Discipleship: Jesus, pp , Chapter 9, Discipleship: Jesus, pp This idea is not directly stated in the text, although these pages allude to it.

14 Gr Moderation and discipline are needed in the use of social communication media, especially in the use of the internet and technology in living the moral life. Gr The precepts of the Church direct Catholics to gather with the faith community every Sunday and on Holy Days of Obligation for Eucharistic celebration, frequently to seek forgiveness of their sins in the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation, to fast and to pray with the Church, and to support the Church in her mission. Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A Call to Holiness, pp. 186, 190 Chapter 9, Discipleship: Jesus, p. 219; Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, p. 243 Gr Developing intimacy and communion with God through prayer is an essential aspect in the Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, pp life of a believer or disciple. Gr Scripture is a source and guide for prayer. Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, p. 250 Gr The Lord s Prayer forms a basis for the Church s understanding of the value of prayer. By praying it, the Christian develops the will to become like the Father and fosters a humble and trusting heart. Gr Through the ongoing function of Sacred Tradition, the Holy Spirit guides people to the truth in prayer. Gr The Psalms are the master work of prayer in the Old Testament. Gr As baptized people, a prayer of blessing or blessings for special occasions helps Catholics to open themselves to God s grace Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, pp Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, pp Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, pp. 251, 254 Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, p. 258 This idea is not directly stated in the text.

15 working in their lives. Gr Vocal prayer is prayer with words, whether spoken aloud or help in the heart, in which one gives expression to the feelings of one s spirit. Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, p. 245 Gr Aided by Scripture, especially the Gospels, holy icons, liturgical texts, the writing of spiritual fathers and mothers, and creation itself, meditation is the quest by which the Christian seeks to understand the Christian life, in order to respond to the call of the Lord in his or her life. Gr Coming from God as a gift, contemplative prayer is an intense and attentive gaze of faith and hearing of the Word of God, in which one experiences communion with God. Gr The forms of prayer revealed in apostolic and canonical Scriptures remain normative for Christian prayer: blessings and adoration, prayer of petition, prayer of intercession, prayer of thanksgiving, and prayer of praise. Gr Christians appropriate the forms of prayer into daily living: blessing and adoration, petition, intercession, thanksgiving, and praise. Gr The prayer of blessing in one s response to God s gifts, which blesses the human heart, which in return blesses the One who is the source of every blessing. Gr The prayer of petition acknowledges how much one depends on God for one s needs, including forgiveness and Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, p. 245 Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, p. 246 Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, pp Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, pp Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, p. 246 Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, p. 246

16 persistence in seeking him. Christian petition is centered on the hope-filled desire and search for the Kingdom to come, in keeping with the teaching of Christ. Gr Intercession is the prayer that one makes on behalf of the needs of others. In intercession, one who prays looks not only to one s own interest, but also to the interests of others, even to the point of praying for those who have done harm to oneself or others. Gr The prayer of thanksgiving characterizes the prayer of the Church, which in celebrating the Eucharist reveals and becomes more fully what she is. Every moment or event can become a thanksgiving offering. Gr The prayer of praise recognizes most immediately that God is God. It lauds God for his own sake and gives him glory, quite beyond what he does, but simply because he is. Gr Lectio Divina is a manner of praying with Scripture. The four traditional movements of Lectio Divina are lectio, meditation, oratio, contemplation. Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, p. 246 Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, p. 247 Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, p. 247 Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, pp Gr Prayer as an invitation to intimacy and communion with God is an essential aspect of being a disciple. Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, pp Gr A personal prayer space helps a Christian to pray in private before God, the Father. Gr The prayer of blessing/adoration serves as people s response to the blessing which God generously bestows on Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, p. 243 Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, p. 246

17 everyone. Gr Some challenges in prayer are distractions, lack of vigilance, dryness, lack of faith, and Chapter 10, Prayer in the Life of a Disciple of Jesus Christ, pp acedia. Gr The faith community is called to foster interpersonal and communal opportunities for shared prayer and spiritual reflection. Gr Praying together helps disciples of Jesus remain attentive to his presence in their midst. The community is strengthened against falling into temptations through this watchfulness. Gr When the Christian community prays together, it is the Holy Spirit who is instrumental in helping communities recall the life and mission of Jesus, strengthening its members to live as faithful disciples.

Gr The Rosary, taking its inspiration from the Gospel, invites a prayerful reflection of the Christian journey towards union with God.

Gr The development of healthy relationships requires the establishment of appropriate boundaries and good communication skills. Gr Stewardship is a response to God s desire that people honor and respect creation by exercising responsible care for nature and other creatures. Gr The Church is called to affirm the importance of all members by providing liturgies, formation opportunities, and events for them to participate in that are meaningful and build community. Gr Responsibilities of faithful discipleship includes participating in the sacramental and prayer life, moral and spiritual teachings, and in the social mission of the Church. Gr By sharing in the mission of the Church through time, treasure, prayers, and service, one is fulfilling the responsibility to live as a disciple, a steward of the Chapter 9, Discipleship: Jesus, pp Chapter 9, Discipleship: Jesus, pp , Chapter 9, Discipleship: Jesus, pp

Gr The Church is called to help address the challenges that families face as the family is the original cell of social life.

Prayers and acts of charity offered to support family members in times of need can encourage them to remain faithful to Christ. Gr The unity of the church is reflected through the vast diversity of peoples, cultures, and tradition present in faith communities. Gr The Church is the universal source and means of salvation for all people. Gr The apostolic mission of the Church calls for all members to share the gospel message of salvation. Gr The Church is a sign and instrument of communion with God and the unity of the human race. Gr The Church has a divine purpose and mission to continue Christ s salvation and to scrutinize the signs of the times in light of the Gospel.

20 Gr The Church was willed by the Father and instituted by Christ through his preaching of the Good News and his self-giving in the Incarnation and Paschal Mystery. Christ has poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit on her members to build, animate, and strengthen the Church and build the Kingdom of God. Gr The four marks of the Church, one, holy, catholic and apostolic, are inseparably linked with each other and indicate the essential features of the Church and her mission. Gr The unity of Christ with the Church is deeply personal; because he loved her and handed himself over for her, it has been described by the image of a bridegroom and a bride. Gr The Church s holiness is founded in the holiness of God and fulfilled in each member through God s grace. Gr The universality of the Church is manifested by the diversity of liturgical traditions and rites, which the Church recognizes as signifying and communicating the same mystery of Christ. Gr Jesus personally entrusts to his Apostles, and their successors, the task to teach and act in his own person by continuing to be witnesses of the Kingdom of God. Gr The pope and bishops, as successors to the Apostles, continue to guide the Church, Chapter 7, Redemption through the Paschal Mystery, p. 170; Chapter 9, Discipleship: Jesus, p. 227; Catholic Handbook for Faith, p. 270 Catholic Handbook for Faith, p. 273 Chapter 4, The Ministry and Message of Jesus Christ, pp. 90, 93 Chapter 8, Living the Paschal Mystery: A Call to Holiness, pp. 186, , Chapter 1, God s Good Creation: The Beginning of Salvation History, pp. 6, 8; Chapter 5, The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ, p. 121; Chapter 9, Discipleship: Jesus, p. 216 Chapter 1, God s Good Creation: The Beginning of Salvation History, p. 8;
