The document discusses the origins and nature of the Catholic Church. It describes how the Church was established by Jesus Christ and how he called the apostles to form a community of faith. It discusses how the Church is universal, holy, and apostolic, spanning all people and times. It also outlines the hierarchical structure of the Church and roles of the Pope, bishops, priests, and laity.
Titus was a trusted companion and fellow worker of Paul who helped establish and organize the church in Crete. As an uncircumcised Gentile, Titus accompanied Paul to Jerusalem and was accepted, showing Paul's inclusive message. Titus exhibited a steadfast and reliable character as he carried messages between Paul and churches. Paul held Titus in high regard and left him in Crete to appoint elders and put the remaining matters in order, demonstrating Titus' maturity and leadership abilities.
This document summarizes Chapter 3, Section I of Pope Francis' apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium. It discusses how the entire people of God proclaims the Gospel through:
1) Being a people for all, with diversity and unity
2) All Christians being called to be missionary disciples
3) Popular piety and devotion helping to evangelize
4) Evangelizing on a personal level through visits and dialogue
5) Different charisms working together to spread the Good News
Mother Teresa was born in 1910 in Skopje, Macedonia and joined the Sisters of Loreto order in 1928. In 1937, she took her vows and taught in Calcutta, India. In 1946, she had a calling to help the poor and destitute on the streets of Calcutta. She founded the Missionaries of Charity in 1950 to care for the poor and sick. Over the following decades, she expanded the order globally and opened hospices, schools, and orphanages. Mother Teresa received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and was later canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church in recognition of her humanitarian work.
1) St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein) converted from Judaism to Catholicism and later became a Carmelite nun.
2) She wrote extensively about the meaning of the cross and her last work was on "The Science of the Cross" before being deported to Auschwitz in 1942.
3) For Edith Stein, "science of the cross" referred to a living, effective truth that influences one's actions and shapes their view of life and God through their experiences with suffering.
The document discusses lessons that can be learned from Jesus' letter to the church in Smyrna in Revelation 2:8-11. It summarizes that the church in Smyrna faced persecution including economic poverty, imprisonment, slander and potential martyrdom. The key lessons are to remain faithful during times of persecution by keeping one's eyes fixed on Jesus, trusting that God is in control of all circumstances, and that present suffering will lead to future glory.
This document discusses teaching children about the sacred liturgy through liturgical catechesis and formation. It emphasizes that the sacred liturgy is important because through it, God is perfectly glorified and we are sanctified. It is also the summit of the Church's activity and gives us a foretaste of heavenly liturgy. Liturgical catechesis is important because it educates children so that they can actively and consciously participate in the liturgy as baptized Christians. The document outlines some challenges and provides guidance on catechizing children about the liturgy through preparation, celebration, and helping them understand their vocation to transform through participation in the liturgy.
During the early stages of Jesus' ministry in Galilee:
1) Jesus began preaching that the kingdom of God was near and calling disciples like Peter, Andrew, James, and John to follow him. 2) He demonstrated his authority over demons and diseases by performing many exorcisms and healings, which amazed the crowds. 3) He controversially healed on the Sabbath and ate with sinners, challenging Jewish traditions and authorities. 4) Jesus formally called the twelve apostles who would be his closest followers as he traveled throughout Galilee teaching and healing.

2. Teresa z Lisieux
Święta Teresa od Dzieciątka
Jezus
i Najświętszego Oblicza, zwana też
Mała Teresa, Mały Kwiatek.
Jej właściwe imię i nazwisko to:
Theresa Martin.
3. Urodziła się 2 stycznia 1873 r. w Alencon (Francja)
jako ostatnia z dziewięciorga dzieci Zelii Guerin i
Ludwika Martin. Jej ojciec był zegarmistrzem,
matka zaś koronkarką. Rodzice byli ludźmi
pobożnymi i doświadczonymi przez cierpienie -
wcześniej stracili już czwórkę dzieci. Okazało się,
że i Teresie grozi śmierć, gdyż matka nie mogła
jej karmić.
Po kilku miesiącach prawie zagłodzonym
dzieckiem zajęła się wiejska kobieta, u której
mała Tereska spędziła pierwszy rok swojego
życia. Po powrocie do domu krótko cieszyła się
bliskością mamy. Zelia zachorowała na raka i
zmarła 28 sierpnia 1877 r.
W listopadzie cała rodzina przeprowadziła się do
domu wuja Izydora w Lisieux.
4. W wieku piętnastu lat postanowiła wstąpić do
klauzurowego zakonu karmelitanek w Lisieux.
Gdy nie zgodzili się na to przełożeni Zakonu,
udała się z ojcem na pielgrzymkę do Rzymu,
by poprosić o zezwolenie Leona XIII. Papież
odpowiedział, że wstąpi za klauzurę jeśli Bóg
zechce.
Wkrótce przełożeni wydali zgodę i 9 kwietnia
1888 dziewczynka znalazła się w zakonie,
przyjmując imię zakonne Teresa od
Dzięciątka Jezus. Warto dodać, że były tam
już dwie jej siostry Maria i Paulina. Po Teresie
do karmelu z rodzeństwa Martin wstąpiła
jeszcze Celina oraz kuzynka Maria Guerin.
5. Św. Teresa od początku pobytu w zakonie zaczęła
rozwijać idee "małej drogi do świętości" oraz
"dziecięctwa duchowego". Zmarła na gruźlicę po
długich cierpieniach w wieku 24 lat.
29 kwietnia 1923 papież Pius XI ogłosił ją
błogosławioną, a 17 maja 1925 - świętą. 19
października 1997 papież Jan Paweł II nadał jej
tytuł Doktora Kościoła powszechnego.
Św. Teresa najczęściej jest przedstawiana z różami
bądź kwiatami.
Jej autobiografia, spisana na polecenie matki
przełożonej, zatytułowana później Dzieje duszy,
należy do klasyki karmelitańskiej.
31. Modlitwa świętej Teresy:
Chciałabym przebiegać ziemię, głosić Twe
Imię i umieszczać Twój chwalebny Krzyż;
jedno posłannictwo mi nie wystarczy
chciałabym w tym samym czasie głosić
Ewangelię w pięciu częściach świata aż po
najbardziej odległe wyspy (....) Chciałabym
być misjonarką nie tylko przez kilka lat, ale
począwszy od założenia świata aż po jego
kres (...) A nade wszystko, Umiłowany mój
Zbawicielu, chciałabym dla ciebie przelać
krew do ostatniej kropli...
