Man - Body and Soul

Using symbolic language, the Bible says that God willed man to be both corporeal and spiritual. "Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living being" (Gen 2:7).

In Scripture "soul" can mean human life or the entire human person. "Soul" especially means man's spiritual principle.

YEAR OF FAITH CORNER

 

At the Last Supper with his apostles on the eve of his passion Jesus anticipated, that is, both symbolized his free self-offering and made it really present: “This is my Body which is given for you” (Luke 22:19), “This is my Blood which is poured out...” (Matthew 26:28) Thus he both instituted the Eucharist as the “memorial” (1 Corinthians 11:25) of his sacrifice and instituted his apostles as priests of the new covenant.

What is the fifth Commandment? What is the fifth Commandment?

  • PDF

The fifth commandment says, "You shall not kill."  This commandment speaks to such issues as respect for life, abortion, euthanasia and suicide.  The fifth commandment causes us to ask the following:-

  • Have I had an abortion or encouraged anyone to have an abortion? Do I use or encourage the use of contraception or artificial birth control?
  • Have I physically harmed anyone?
  • Have I placed myself or others in danger because of reckless use of alcohol or other drugs? Have I caused difficulties for myself or others because of their use?
  • Did I give scandal to anyone, thereby leading them into sin?
  • Have I been violent or abusive either in action or in speech? 
  • Do I strive to forgive those who have hurt me, or do I hold on to resentment and desire for revenge?
  • Do I use my powers of influence well, especially my voting rights, in order to fight war, oppression, abortion and injustice, or do I allow those evils to continue by my apathy and silence?
  • Do I share with those in need? Do I support the life and mission of the Church by responsible stewardship - sharing our time, talent and treasure?

Reverence For Mass

We are losing that sense of reverence for the Holy Eucharist by the way we rush in and out of Mass, the way we dress for Mass, the use of cell phones during Mass, among other things. Do you agree?
