This document discusses Christian moral living and decision making. It outlines three essential levels of Christian moral life: a basic moral vision, moral norms and precepts, and personal moral acts guided by conscience. The basic standard for Christians is Jesus Christ, who reveals God's love. Christ's law of love is liberating and transforms us through virtues like detachment, meekness, and working for justice and peace. Moral decision making involves discerning through searching, thinking, consulting others and praying, applying relevant moral norms, and making a decision through conscience. The Church helps Catholics make moral decisions through its moral guidance and long tradition.
The document discusses the Ten Commandments and their importance. It provides the full text of the Ten Commandments from Exodus 20:1-17. It emphasizes that the two greatest commandments are to love God with all your being and love your neighbor as yourself. The Ten Commandments teach people how to love and worship God as well as get along with others. Overall, the document stresses that the Law, including the Ten Commandments, guides people on how to live righteously.

The Fifth Commandment upholds the sanctity of human life by prohibiting murder. It originated to end blood vengeance between tribes, and established a fair judicial system in Israel. Today it extends to respecting one's own life as well as others, and prohibiting actions like suicide, fighting, or exposing lives to unnecessary risk.
The Sixth and Ninth Commandments uphold the sanctity of marriage and family by prohibiting adultery and coveting another's spouse. They protect the basic social unit and require respect for all family members. Today they extend to upholding purity and prohibiting any violations of human sexuality.
The Seventh Commandment originally referred to prohibiting slave theft but also protected individuals' property. Today
Christian ethics provides the highest moral standard derived from God's revelation in the Bible. It represents how Christianity guides private, social, and communal life through Christ's teachings. Biblical ethics manifests God's grace by showing believers how to remain morally pure through righteousness. Jesus lived a perfect life of highest order by translating virtue into holiness and duty into privilege through self-sacrifice. He enacted divine laws for humanity and revealed how they can be adapted for human needs by subjecting himself to full obedience. The epistles provide rules and directions for private and social conduct, teaching that belief and behavior must be aligned.
The document discusses how Jesus summarized the Ten Commandments into two great commandments - to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and to love your neighbor as yourself. The first three commandments focus on loving God, considered the greatest commandment, while the last seven commandments focus on loving others, referred to as the second great commandment.
The document discusses biblical principles of Christian dress and deportment, noting that dress should distinguish gender, promote modesty, and avoid extremes or immodest styles. It addresses popular errors like women wearing trousers or pants, advising that God designed a distinction in dress for men and women. The document also reviews the history of dress reform movements and recommendations from Ellen White regarding a modest dress length.
Sin is a rejection of God's love through selfishness and pride that breaks our relationship with God and others, but Jesus shows God's merciful forgiveness through his sacrifice on the cross, and the sacrament of reconciliation allows us to experience God's healing love and cleansing from sin.
The document discusses the Fifth Commandment regarding killing. It states that human life is sacred from creation to natural end, and that no one can claim the right to directly destroy an innocent human life. Deliberate murder of the innocent is contrary to human dignity. Both direct and intentional killing, as well as indirectly causing death without just cause, are considered gravely sinful acts forbidden by moral law. Abortion and euthanasia are also discussed as being morally unacceptable acts that destroy innocent life.
The document discusses what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, including how Jesus originally chose disciples, commissioned them to spread his teachings to all nations, and how Christians can strive to be disciples today by studying Jesus' word, spending time in prayer, fellowship and ministry, and sharing their faith. It also explores how the original disciples became apostles and helped establish the early Christian church after receiving the Holy Spirit.
The document outlines three dimensions of the Christian faith: doctrine, morals, and worship. It aims to make readers familiar with these dimensions and appreciate the importance of integrated catechesis, or religious education that combines all three dimensions. An effective catechesis teaches the core beliefs or doctrine of Christianity (head), inspires moral values and commitments to service (hands), and fosters community, prayer, and celebration (heart).
The document provides an introduction and overview of the Rosary, including:
1) The Rosary is comprised of 20 mysteries grouped into 4 sets that focus on Jesus' and Mary's lives.
2) The Rosary has its roots in repetitive prayer practices but developed over centuries into its current form with Our Fathers, Hail Marys, and Glory Bes.
3) The Sorrowful Mysteries reflect on Jesus' suffering in his Passion and death on the cross.
Divino D. Ledesma discusses how many of the Philippines' problems stem from a lack of good parenting and role models at home. He argues that if parents lead by good example, teach their children right from wrong, and are present in their lives, the next generation will grow up to be good citizens. However, many Filipinos work abroad leaving their children in the care of others, which can have negative effects like insecurity, materialism, and gender identity issues. Ledesma emphasizes the importance of parents showing their children love through quality time together rather than just material gifts.
The document discusses the concept of being "born again" or receiving a new spiritual birth. It explains that this new birth is necessary for everyone to enter the kingdom of God (John 3:3,5). It involves being "born of water and the Spirit" (John 3:5). This new birth opens spiritual eyes to see the kingdom of heaven, makes one a child of God, and involves receiving a new heart and spirit from God (Ezekiel 36:26-27). The Holy Spirit then lives within the person and produces a holy life. The experience of conversion can involve strong emotions for some or be hardly perceptible for others. The result is becoming a new person with eternal life.

Pacem in Terris - Peace on Earth (Filipino).pptxMartin M Flynn
Isang buod ng liham na encyclical ni Pope John XXIII tungkol sa mga karapatang pantao at pagtataguyod ng kapayapaan sa isang globalisadong mundo na nanganganib ng digmaang nukleyar
This document discusses Paul's letter to the Romans and the love of God and Christ that cannot be separated from believers. It notes that Paul experienced the power of the Gospel and wanted to witness to both what he said and did. His faithfulness would lead him to Rome where he gave his life for the Lord. The document also shares the perspective of Chiara Lubich that when facing difficulties, believers should have courageous faith and trust in God's love, embracing the cross and doing God's will. Even during times of war, continuing to believe in God's love can enable glimpses of humanity.
This document summarizes Jesus' teaching that those who do the will of God are part of his family, rather than just one's biological relatives. It discusses an episode where Jesus' mother and brothers come to see him, but Jesus says his true family is anyone committed to God's will. Doing God's will of loving him and others makes one Jesus' brother, sister or mother. The document encourages readers to build God's family by being understanding, enlightening and warm towards those undergoing trials. It describes an after school program that aims to rebuild children's trust and hope through creating a welcoming family atmosphere.
1) The document is a summary and reflection on the passage "We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brothers and sisters" from 1 John 3:14.
2) It argues that by loving our neighbors, especially other Christians, we experience God's love and enter into union with God.
3) This experience of God's love through loving others gives us certainty in our faith and helps us face challenges to our faith.
A natureza faz parte da decoração. A música descreve um mundo maravilhoso com céus azuis, verdes colinas e nuvens brancas. A beleza natural do mundo é celebrada.
This document is a commentary on Jesus' words "Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him" from the Gospel of Matthew.
The commentary explains that Jesus was assuring his disciples that he would remain present with them after his death through his dwelling in the hearts of Christians who love him by keeping his commandment of mutual love. It describes how living with decisive and persevering love for others allows the Trinity to come and dwell within us. The commentary encourages Christians to live this "Word of Life" through loving one another as Jesus taught.
The document discusses the role and responsibilities of teachers. It says that teaching is a vocation and gift from God, not just a job. Teachers are called to share in Jesus' ministry of teaching and to form the whole person, not just impart information. While they impart knowledge, teachers must point students toward the ultimate Source of knowledge, which is God. The document emphasizes that teachers are servants and stewards of the gifts entrusted to them, to develop and share for the good of the community.
The document discusses strategies for dealing with temptations based on biblical passages. It begins by establishing that temptations are real and come from the devil. It then provides five defenses: 1) Be aware of the devil's tactics, 2) Know God's will from the Bible and Church teachings, 3) Identify your weaknesses, 4) Strengthen your will through fasting and self-denial, and 5) Turn to prayer when facing temptation. The overall message is that through spiritual discipline and relying on God, one can resist temptations.
Bible Sharing Group Facilitators's TrainingRic Eguia
A Bible sharing group is a gathering where people come together to read, reflect on, learn from, pray with, and live out the word of God. Members share personal experiences of how God has worked in their lives based on the scripture reading rather than discussing biblical knowledge. The facilitator guides the sharing and ensures all rules are followed.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against developing mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already have a condition.
4. Ano ang isang
pamantayan o batas?
Ang batas ay isang alituntunin
ng katuwiran na itinakda ng mga
taong may kakayahan at may
kapangyarihan alang-alang sa
kapakanang panlipunan.
5. (1)
Ang batas ay isang
makatwirang pagpapasya,
ibig sabihin: pinag-isipan at
may dahilan, at hindi isang
bagay na nasumpungan
lamang.
6. (2)
Itinakda: ipinahayag nang
may sapat na babala sa mga
kinauukulan habang
iginagalang ang kanilang
karapatan at karangalan.
7. (3)
Sa pamamagitan ng
kinauukulang tagapamahala,
o sa pamamagitan ng may
lehitimong kapangyarihang
isagawa ito.
8. (4)
Para sa kapakanang
panlipunan, sa kaayusan ng
sosyal na kalagayan ng mga
nasasakupan nito.
25. Mula sa Salmo 19,
“Ang batas ng Panginoon ay ganap
at nagpapaginhawa sa kaluluwa.
Ang batas ng Panginoon ay batas
na walang kulang. Ito ay utos na
ang dulot sa tao ay bagong buhay.
Ang Kanyang mga batas ay
napagtitiwalaan. Nagbibigay
talino sa pahat na kaisipan…
26. Ang tuntuning ibinigay ni Yahweh
ay wastong utos, liligaya ang
sinuman kapag ito ang sinunod. Ito
ay wagas at matuwid pagkat mula
ito sa Diyos, pang-unawa ng isipan
yaong bungang idudulot. Pati mga
hatol niya ay matuwid na
kahatulan, kapag siya ang
humatol, ang pasya ay pantay-
pantay.”
27. Sa kasawiang palad,
ang lubhang pagsunod sa
titik ng batas ay humantong
sa “legalismo.”
28. Legalismo
1. Ang paglalagay sa lahat ng kautusan ng
batas sa pantay-pantay na kahalagahan
na naging mabigat na pataw sa mga tao
(Lukas 11:46).
2. Ang paniniwala na sa pamamagitan
lamang ng pagtupad ng batas ay
maililigtas na ng mga tao ang kanilang
sarili na hindi na kailangan ang biyaya
ng Diyos.
30. Pagdating ng Bagong Tipan
• Ayon kay Propeta
Jeremias, “Gagawa ako ng isang
bagong pakikipagtipan sa Israel…
Itatanim ko sa kanilang kalooban
ang aking kautusan; isusulat ko sa
kanilang puso” (Jer 31:31,33).
31. Kaganapan ng Tipan
• Ayon kay San Mateo, dumating si
Kristo hindi upang pawalang bisa
ang kautusan at mga aral ng mga
propeta, kundi upang gawing
ganap ang mga iyon (Mateo
5:17).
33. Una
Upang ipangaral ang
Mabuting Balita tungkol
sa Paghahari ng Diyos.
(Lukas 16:16)
34. Ikalawa
Inalis ni Kristo ang mga
kamaliang pinahintulutan
“dahil sa katigasan ng puso”
ng mga tao.
(Mateo 19:8)
35. Ikatlo
Ginawang ganap ni Kristo ang
mga batas tungkol sa kalinisan
ng pagkain at sa batas ng Sabat
na napakahalaga sa mga Judio.
36. Ikapat
Ang batas sa kaayusan ay
nasa ilalim lahat ng pag-ibig
sa Diyos at sa kapwa.
37. Mga Dakilang Utos
• Alin ang pinakamahalagang utos sa
Kautusan?
• Sumagot si Jesus: “Ibigin mo ang
Panginoong Diyos nang buong
puso, nang buong kaluluwa at nang
buong pag-iisip. Ito naman ang
pangalawa: ibigin mo ang iyong kapwa
gaya ng iyong sarili” (Mateo 22:37-40).
45. Ayon kay San Pablo: “Wala na ako sa
ilalim ng batas ng kasalanan at
kamatayan, sapagkat pinalaya na ako
ng batas ng Espiritung nagbibigay-
buhay, bunga ng pakikipag-isa kay
Kristo Jesus. Ginawa ng Diyos ang
hindi nagawa ng kautusan dahil sa likas
na kahinaan ng tao. Sinugo niya ang
kanyang sariling Anak” (Roma 8:2-3).
47. Aral mula sa “Mapapalad”
Sinasalungat sa “Mapapalad” ang
karunungan ng daigdig: ang
materyalismo o pagsamba sa
kayamanan, ang pagnanasa sa
kapangyarihan at pagtatagumpay, at
ang walang awang paglalabanan.
Sa Kaharian ng Diyos, kabaligtaran
nito ang mga pinahahalagahan.
53. Ang Batas na Likas
Ipinahahayag nito ang
karunungan ng Diyos sa Kanyang
sangnilikha at ito ay kabilang sa
mismong katangiang-likas ng
mga tao, at ito ay panawagang
nagmumula sa kaibuturan ng
kanilang sarili.
54. Ang batas na likas ang
pinamumulan ng mga karapatan
at tungkulin na tuwirang
nagmumula sa katangiang-likas ng
tao na pinagkalooban ng katwiran
at kalayaan, at hindi sa palagay ng
madla o kahit ang batas na
pambayan.
56. (I)
Ang batayan ng Batas na
Likas ay ang katotohanang
ang Diyos ang lumikha ng
lahat at ang ugat ng lahat
ng bagay.
57. (II)
Mauunawaan ng lahat ng
tao ang moral na batayan
ng Batas na Likas sapagkat
ito ay nakaukit sa budhi ng
bawat tao.
58. (III)
Isang tuwirang moral na
pagpapahalaga at turo na
maaaring gawing
pangkalahatan para sa lahat
ng mga taong may
mabuting kalooban.
59. Si Kristo at ang Batas na Likas
• Sa pagsunod sa batas na
likas, sinusunod din natin ang
banal na batas.
• Kay Kristo, magkaugnay ang
batas na likas at ang batas ng
Diyos.
64. Sinabi ni Jesus kay Simon,
“Ikaw ay Pedro, at sa ibabaw ng
batong ito ay itatayo ko ang
aking iglesya, at hindi
makapananaig sa kanya kahit
ang kapangyarihan ng
kamatayan…
65. …Ibibigay ko sa iyo ang susi ng
kaharian ng langit: ang
ipagbawal mo sa lupa ay
ipagbabawal sa langit, at ang
ipahintulot mo sa lupa ay
ipahihitulot sa langit”
(Mateo 16:18-19)
66. Ang tunay na batayan ay ang di
mabibigong pagpatnubay ng
Espiritu Santo sa Santo Papa at sa
Kasamahan ng mga Obispo tuwing
ginaganap ang kanilang tungkulin
bilang tagapagturo sa
pananampalataya at moral na
pamumuhay.
67. Ito ang namumukod tanging
misyon ng mahisterio ng
Simbahan: upang maipahayag
at maipaliwanag ang moral na
batas sa harap ng mga tao sa
liwanag ng Ebanghelyo.
68. Ang ugnayan sa pagitan ng
budhi ng mga Katolikong
Pilipino at at ang Katuruan
ng Simbahan ay hindi laban
sa kalayaan ng budhi.
69. Sa mga bagay na nauukol sa
pananampalataya at moral na
pamumuhay, nagsasalita ang
mga Obispo sa Ngalan ni
Kristo, at ang
mananampalataya ay
tatanggapin ang mga turo na
may magalang na katapatan ng
kalooban.
