EIGHTH AETICLE OF THE CREED : THE HOLY GHOST. THE GRACE OF THE HOLY GHOST IS NECESSARY TO US. The Holy Ghost is the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, and is therefore God Himself. The Holy Ghost dispenses the graces which Christ merited by the sacrifice of the cross. Hence the assistance of the Holy Ghost is absolutely neceisary for salvation. ACTION OF THE HOLY GHOST. The Holy Ghost influences our lives by enlightening the mind and strengthening the will. Such passing influence of the Holy Spirit is called " actual grace." The action of the Holy Spirit sometimes makes itself per ceptible to the senses. The Holy Ghost does not force us, but leaves us in perfect possession of our free will. The Holy Ghost acts on every man, on the sinner as well as on the just; and more on Catholics than on non-Catholics and unbelievers. Actual graces are obtained by the performance of good works, especially by prayer, fasting, and almsdeeds; and more especially by the use of the means of grace provided by the Church, by hearing of holy Mass, worthy reception of the sacra ments, and attendance at sermons.

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Jesus Christ solemnly declared before the high priest that He was the Son of God (Matt. xxvi. 64). God the Father called Jesus Christ His Son on the occasion of His baptism in the Jordan and of the transfiguration on Mount Thabor (Matt. iii. 17; xvii. 5). Jesus Christ is God Himself. That Jesus Christ is God we learn from His own words and from those of His apostles. That Jesus Christ is God we conclude from His miracles and prophecies. That Jesus Christ is God we conclude from the elevation of His teaching and His character. That Jesus Christ is God we conclude from the rapid spread of His teaching and from the miracles which accompanied this teaching throughout the world.

In this episode we continue to discuss Jesus. What Truths follow from the Mystery of the Redemption? Christ is true God and true man; hence we call Him the God-man. In Christ there are two natures, human and divine, which despite their intimate union are quite distinct. In Christ there is only one person, and that person is divine.

In this episode we continue to discuss Jesus. The Exaltation of Christ Immediately after the death of Christ His soul went down in triumph into the place where the souls of those justified under the Old Law were detained (Fourth Council of Lateran). On Easter Sunday before sunrise Christ rose glorious from the tomb by His own almighty power. Forty days after His resurrection Our Lord ascended into heaven from the Mount of Olives, and now sits at the right hand of God the Father. On the tenth day after His ascending into heaven Christ sent down the Holy Ghost on the apostles.

In this episode we continue to discuss Jesus. The Public Life of Christ. When Christ was thirty years old, He was baptized by John in the Jordan (Matt. iii. 13), and fasted forty days in the desert, where He was tempted by the devil (Matt. iv.). Christ taught for about three and a half years, gathered some seventy-two disciples, and from these chose twelve apostles. Christ proved His divine mission and the truth of His, doc trine by many miracles, by His knowledge of all things, and by the holiness of His life.

In this episode we continue to discuss Jesus. THE PERSON OF THE REDEEMER The Incarnation of the Son of God. The second divine person became man in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary by the action of the Holy Ghost at the moment of the Annunciation. The Father of Jesus is therefore God the Father in heaven; Joseph, the spouse of Mary, is only the foster-father of Jesus. The Incarnation of the Son of God is a mystery which we cannot understand, but only admire and honor. The Incarnation of the Son of God was necessary to give perfect satisfaction to the injured majesty of God. The Second Person always remained God though He be came man, and by the Incarnation He lost none of His dignity. By the Incarnation of the Son of God all the members of the human race have acquired a special dignity.

In this episode we continue to discuss Jesus. The Suffering of Christ. On the Sunday preceding the feast of Easter Christ made a solemn entry into Jerusalem and taught in the Temple during the days following. On Holy Thursday evening Christ ate the Pasch with His disciples, instituted the Blessed Sacrament, and then went out to the Mount of Olives, where He suffered His agony and bloody sweat. On Good Friday at noon, Christ was nailed to the cross on the hill of Calvary, just outside Jerusalem, and died on the cross about three o'clock. During Easter Saturday, that is, on the greatest feast day of the Jews, Our Lord remained in the sepulchre.

In this episode we continue to discuss Jesus. JESUS OF NAZARETH IS THE REDEEMER OR CHRIST Jesus of Nazareth is the Redeemer, because all the proph ecies have their fulfilment in Him, Jesus of Nazareth is the Messias, because the kingdom founded by Him on earth has been enduring. Jesus Himself claimed the name of Redeemer. The angels announced Him as the Redeemer.

In this episode we continue to discuss Jesus. THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE REDEEMER The Redeemer lived some nineteen hundred years ago and remained thirty-three years on the earth. (written in 1890) The work of the Redeemer was confined for the most part to Palestine.

In this episode we begin to discuss Jesus. 1. THE REDEMPTION Our Lord Jesus Christ, Our Redeemer, has freed us from the evil consequences of sin. THE PROMISE OF THE REDEEMER. Immediately after the Fall God promised man a Redeemer. Two thousand years later God promised to Abraham that the Redeemer should be one of his descendants. At a later time God sent the prophets, and through their mouth foretold many things about the coming, the birth, the person, the sufferings, the death, and the final triumph and glory of the Redeemer. The Messias was announced through many types.

In this episode we continue to discuss Jesus. PREPARATION OF MANKIND FOR THE REDEEMER. God chose for Himself a special nation, and prepared it for the coming of a Redeemer; this chosen people was the seed of Abraham, usually called by the name of Israelites, or Jews. The other nations of the earth were prepared for the coming of the Redeemer by contact with the chosen people, or by the in fluence of exceptionally gifted men, or by other extraordinary methods. Before the arrival of the Redeemer God permitted that man kind should experience the deepest misery, in order to rouse it to a longing for a Redeemer.

In this episode we discuss the nature of angels, what they are and how we are to relate to them. This is a very important episode that could really help with dialogue between Catholics and Protestants. 1. The angels are pure spirits. 2. All the angels whom God created were, at the beginning, in the grace of God and well pleasing to Him. But many of the angels sinned through pride, and were cast down by God into hell forever (2 Pet. ii. 4). 3. The evil angels are our enemies; they envy us, seek to lead us to sin, and can, with God's permission, injure us in our bodies, or in our worldly goods. 4. The angels who remained faithful to God behold the face of God continually and sing His praises. 5. The holy angels are also called guardian angels, because they watch over us (Heb. i. 14).

In this episode we discuss the creation and nature of man. The Creation of Man. God made the body of man out of the dust of the earth, and breathed into him a living soul. 2. The first human beings that God created were Adam and Eve. THE SOUL OF MAN. The soul of man is made in the image of God, since it is a spirit like to God. 2. The soul of man is immortal, i.e., it can never cease to exist. THE SUPERNATURAL ENDOWMENTS OF MAN. Our first parents were created in the grace of God, and there fore possessed singular perfections of soul and body. 2. These special perfections of our first parents we call super natural gifts, because they are something altogether beyond, and were added to, human nature.

In this episode we discuss Original Sin. God imposed on man in paradise a precept; He forbade him to eat the fruit of one of the trees which stood in the midst of the Garden of Eden. Man allowed himself to be led astray by the devil, and trans gressed the precept of his Creator. The transgression of the precept of God had disastrous con sequences; man lost sanctifying grace, and all his supernatural gifts, and also suffered injuries both in soul and body. The sin of our first parents with all its evil consequences has passed on to their descendants.

In this episode we discuss many things, but especially the necessity of suffering. 1. No one can attain to eternal salvation without suffering. 2. All suffering comes from God, and is a sign of His love and favor. 3. God sends suffering to the sinner to bring him back into the right way and to save him from eternal death. 4. God sends suffering to the just man to try him whether he loves God most or creatures. 5. Sufferings then are no real evil, but are benefits from the hand of God.

In this episode we continue to discuss the Apostles' Creed. 11. God is infinitely just, i.e., He rewards all good and punishes all evil deeds. 12. God is a God of perfect truth, i.e., all that He reveals to man is true. * 13. God is faithful, i.e., He keeps His promises and carries out His threats.

In this episode we discuss the history or creation. 1. In the beginning God created the spiritual and material universe. 2. The material world was at first without form, without in habitants, and without light. 3. God gave to the material universe its present form in the course of six days. 4. On the seventh day God rested from all His work that He had done. From What, and for what End has God Created the World? 1. God made the world out of nothing, simply because it pleased Him to make it. 2. God was moved to make the world by His great goodness. 3. The end of creation is necessarily to proclaim to men the glory of God.

In this episode we discuss the mystery of the Trinity 1. The Blessed Trinity is one God in three persons. 2. We cannot, with our feeble understanding, grasp the doc trine of the Blessed Trinity, and it is therefore called a mystery. 3. The nature, the attributes, and the works of the three per sons of the Blessed Trinity are common to all of them. 4. The three divine persons are divided only in their origin. 5. We are taught the mystery of the Blessed Trinity by Christ Himself, but it was partly known in the time of the Old Testa ment. 6. The belief in the Blessed Trinity is expressed in the Apostles' Creed, in Baptism, and in the other sacraments, in all consecrations and blessings, and in the feast of the Most Holy Trinity.

In this episode we discuss Divine Providence We call by the name of divine providence God's preservation and government of the world. God maintains the world, i.e., He preserves all creatures in existence as long as He wills.. G God governs the world, i.e., He conducts all things in the world, so that they contribute to His glory and to our advantage. For this reason a pious Christian should resign himself en tirely to the will of God. How are the Misfortunes of the Good and the Prosperity of the Wicked to be Reconciled with the Providence of God ? No sinner has true happiness, and no servant of God true misery. For true happiness is impossible without inner peace and contentment; and this is possessed by the true servant of God, but not by the sinner. Moreover the good fortune of the sinner is for the most part only transitory. The real recompense of man only begins after death. Sinners are rewarded on this earth for the little good that they have done-. The just on the other hand are for the most part punished in this life for the evil they have done. How is Sin to be Reconciled with the Providence of God? It is not God Who is responsible for sin and its conse quences, but man's wrong use of his free will. God in His wisdom employs even sin for a good end. Besides, it does not become us to pry into the secret designs of God; we poor miserable creatures must adore His wisdom and submit ourselves humbly to what He ordains.

In this episode we continue to discuss the Apostles' Creed. 7. God is supremely good, i.e., He loves His creatures far more than a father loves his children. 8. God is very patient, i.e., He leaves the sinner time for re pentance and a change of life. 9. God is full of mercy and compassion, i.e., He very readily forgives our sins when we are sincerely sorry for them. 10. God is infinitely holy, i.e., He loves good and hates all evil.

We have been hit with a lot of fake news today. The headlines scream that the Catholic Church must now bless "gay marriage!" That is not true. Chistina Sorrentino has written an excellent article about what Fiducia Supplicans really means. Today, we discuss this and then we turn to Fr. Spirago who explains, " God is almighty, i.e., God can do all that He wills, and that by a mere act of His will." I also rant a lot about the need for Catholic officials and writers to learn to write more plainly so that we are not so often confused by their statements.
