Classwork: Today we continue Lesson 10, The Virtues and Gifts of the Holy Ghost. As I mentioned last class, Lesson 10 is “big” in the sense that there is a lot to remember… the Seven Gifts of the Holy Ghost, the Twelve Fruits of the Holy Ghost, the eight Beatitudes, etc. As we discussed, we all need to increase the the time we spend studying and really focus on memorizing the question answers.

“…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: Continue studying Lesson 10. We have to not just read the catechism, but study it. 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.
