Latin Word(s) of the Week: donum (DOH-noom) – gift. We are studying the gifts (doni) of the Holy Ghost. There are derivatives of donum in English — donation, anyone?

WisUnCou… ForK…PiFear = Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, Fear of the Lord

Classwork: Today we start Lesson 10, The Virtues and Gifts of the Holy Ghost. This is a very important Lesson when preparing for Confirmation — in fact, even if you have already been Confirmed, do you allow dispose yourself properly to receive the fullness of these gifts?

“…I believe in the Holy Ghost…”

The Purpose of Man’s Existence -> God and His Perfections -> The Unity and Trinity of God -> Creation and the Angels -> Creation and the Fall of Man -> Actual Sin -> The Incarnation -> The Redemption -> The Holy Ghost and Grace -> The Virtues and Gifts of the Holy Ghost

Homework: The Lesson 9 Quizzes were good, but it’s a good reminder — we have to spend time not just casually reading the catechism, but studying it. We want to memorize the answers to the questions, so that we are as full of this knowledge as possible. Please work on Lesson 10 with a renewed fervor to KNOW God.
