God, Creation, and Man","items":[{"number":1,"question":"What do we know about God?","answer":"We know that God is a Spiritual being, good, almighty and everlasting… He sees everything, knows everything… He rewards the good and punishes the evil. Besides, as Christians, we know that we are children of God and we say the “Our Father…” in prayer."},{"number":2,"question":"Is there just one God?","answer":"Yes, just one. And in God there are three different persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. This “Trinity” of people is in truth one single God."},{"number":3,"question":"What do we know about the World?","answer":"We know that the universe has been created by God and that He cares for it. He does not wish any evil in the world; but He permits some evil in exchange for a greater good. That's the reason for the existence of evil: it brings forth greater benefits."},{"number":4,"question":"What about Angels?","answer":"God has created angels in addition to material creatures. Everyone has a guardian angel who protects him or her. Some angels didn't want to serve God and turned against Him. We call them demons and they are evil."},{"number":5,"question":"What do we know about man?","answer":"We know that man is a spiritual and bodily being. God has created it to be happy with Him in heaven after having done the good deeds on earth."},{"number":6,"question":"Gifts","answer":"- God created the first couple. He willed them to enjoy special gifts, like immortality. Above all He gave them the grace, which lifts their human nature, thus sharing with him His divine nature. But Adam and Eve, tempted by the devil, disobeyed the commandment of the Lord; and they wasted the gifts they were enjoying."},{"number":7,"question":"Original Sin","answer":"- As a consequence of the above, we inherited this situation. We are born away from God in a situation we call original sin. From then on an evil tendency has appeared in the human heart in such a way that acting rightly demands effort. Along with this sin, death and evil sneaked into the world."}]},{"title":"B. Jesus Christ and the Gospels","items":[{"number":8,"question":"Who is Jesus Christ?","answer":"Jesus Christ is the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity who became man to save us from that situation. Jesus Christ is perfect God and perfect man. He was born to Holy Mary through the work of the Holy Spirit (a miraculous birth, indeed)."},{"number":9,"question":"What miracles were there at the birth of Christ?","answer":"Joseph, Mary's spouse, was warned about the circumstances by an angel. Mary gave birth having nothing to do with a man (easy task for the Creator of Adam and Eve). Some angels spread the news to the shepherds; and a star broke the news to the Magi. However, the most powerful divine action was to join in one person the natures of God and man together."},{"number":10,"question":"What do we know about Jesus Christ's life?","answer":"He lived for thirty years in Nazareth, working in Joseph's workshop. Afterwards he preached in Israel for three years. He showed his divinity through great miracles, which supported His words. He died on the cross accepting this suffering out of love for us."},{"number":11,"question":"Why did Jesus Christ suffer and die on the Cross?","answer":"He willed to take upon Himself the guilt of all mankind. The punishment our sins deserved fell upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed. Through His holy Passion and death, God forgives our sins whenever we receive the sacrament of Penance."},{"number":12,"question":"What happened after he died?","answer":"He rose again three days after He died. He appeared to hundreds of disciples. He commissioned them to teach His doctrine and spread it throughout the world. This apostolic task is the great mission of the Church and of every Christian. The twelve apostles chosen by Christ began this mission."},{"number":13,"question":"What are the Gospels?","answer":"They are four books of the Bible, written when some of the first apostles and early Disciples of Christ were still alive. They approved these books. They tell Jesus' life and his main teachings. Due to their high historical value, they are the best document to study the life of Our Lord. God himself guided the writers to narrate well what happened."}]},{"title":"C. Mary, the Church, and Eternal Life","items":[{"number":14,"question":"Who is the Virgin Mary?","answer":"She is the mother of God. It was she who gave birth to our Lord Jesus Christ, who is perfect God. God bestowed in His mother many gifts; for instance she was conceived and was born without original sin. This means that she never committed any sin in her whole life. She is Immaculate. She is also our mother since the grace of God turns us into children of God. In this way we identify ourselves with Christ."},{"number":15,"question":"Who is part of the Church?","answer":"The Church integrates all the baptized and is led by the Pope. He represents Christ as Saint Peter's successor. Peter was the apostle chosen by Jesus to lead the Church. The Pope continues his mission with the help of the Holy Spirit. God himself cares dearly for the Church He founded."},{"number":16,"question":"What unites Christians?","answer":"Christians are part of the mystical body of Christ, who is the Head. The Holy Spirit dwells within the people who live in state of Grace (that is to say, without mortal sins). He would be like the soul that gives life to the body. Its members share in the same spiritual gifts –we call it the Communion of Saints- but above all in the merits of Jesus Christ."},{"number":17,"question":"Can you give an example of this union with Christ?","answer":"In the Mass, Jesus Christ offers to God the Father the sacrifice of His life, sacrificed in the Cross. Christians may benefit from this offering while in union with Christ."},{"number":18,"question":"How about an example of union of Christians among themselves?","answer":"This link is extended to the saints in heaven and the blessed souls in Purgatory. Everyone tries to help one another. It is important to pray for the souls in Purgatory."},{"number":19,"question":"What happens after dying?","answer":"After death we will be judged by God. The sentence of this judgment can only fall into one of these three possibilities:

Those who die in a state of grace will be united with God eternally in Heaven. They will enjoy the greatest happiness, without any contact with evil.
Those who die in mortal sin will suffer eternal punishment in Hell.
Those who die in a state of grace go to Purgatory if their soul is not sufficiently clean to be in Heaven. In Purgatory there are great sufferings mixed with the hope that, after these sufferings, they will see God.

Spiritual Goods, like Redemption, Sanctifying Grace and the treasure of counting on the motherly protection of Mary.

Gifts partly visible and partly spiritual, like the sacraments, which attract spiritual gifts or graces through visible signs.

"},{"number":2,"question":"What is “Grace”?","answer":"We call Grace any gift from God. But more particularly we give that name to the Sanctifying Grace. This is a supernatural gift which gives man his divine condition since man turns from sinner to child of God."},{"number":3,"question":"Is there a great difference between being in a state of grace and not being in one?","answer":"The difference is huge. On the one hand, there is separation from God and the path toward hell. On the other, there is friendship with God and divine sonship, which means becoming more like God and having Heaven's doors open to us."},{"number":4,"question":"What are the chief means to obtain graces?","answer":"The main sources of grace are prayer and sacraments.

B. WHICH ARE THE SACRAMENTS?"}]},{"title":"B. What Are the Seven Sacraments?","items":[{"number":6,"question":"Which are the first two sacraments?","answer":"

The first sacrament is Baptism. It erases original sin, granting sanctifying grace for the first time. It is like birth into spiritual life.
The second is Confirmation. It increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the soul and strengthens us spiritually.

"},{"number":7,"question":"How can one obtain God's pardon for the sins?","answer":"God has given us the Sacrament of Confession or Penance to forgive our sins. In order to receive this sacrament fruitfully, we need to observe two conditions:

To be sorry for those sins. In addition, one must have the resolution or intention of not committing them again. The point is not to foresee the future, but to make the decision not to sin again.
It is necessary to tell those sins to a priest so that he may forgive them in God's name. It is also necessary to mention all grave or serious sins and the approximate number of times they were committed.

"},{"number":8,"question":"What effects does the sacrament of Confession have?","answer":"In some way it works like medicine, which usually has two aims: healing and protecting. Confession achieves these two effects: it forgives sins and grants the necessary graces to overcome future temptations more easily."},{"number":9,"question":"What aspects does the Sacrament of Eucharist refer to?","answer":"This sacrament entails three great aspects:

In the Eucharist, Jesus Christ is really present, with all the consequences of worship, respect, desire to accompany Him in the tabernacle, material care, etc.
The sacrifice of the Cross is made present at Mass. It is the greatest offering men can give to God.
We receive Jesus Christ Himself in Holy Communion. This is the food that nourishes and restores the strength of the soul. It also unites us with Christ, allowing us progressively to become like Him.

"},{"number":10,"question":"What are the requirements to receive the Holy Communion worthily?","answer":"There are three conditions to observe in order to receive Holy Communion worthily:

Faith: to have received baptism and to know whom you are receiving under the appearance of bread.
To be in a state of grace, that is, to have received in confession the forgiveness of all serious sins committed. This is essential. No one must receive God without the right disposition.
A period of at least one hour must have elapsed since the last food taken.

"},{"number":11,"question":"What is the Anointing of the Sick?","answer":"The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick aids those who are in danger of death due to sickness or old age. It strengthens them in those moments when eternal life is approaching. It is an important sacrament, and it is convenient not to wait until the last minute to confer it."},{"number":12,"question":"Who are the Priests?","answer":"They are Christian faithful who have received the sacrament of Order from the hands of a Bishop. This action confers them the power of celebrating Mass and administering the rest of the sacraments. Lastly, they can preach the Gospel with authority."},{"number":13,"question":"Is Marriage a Sacrament?","answer":"We call Marriage the permanent union of a man and a woman, thus making up a family. The betrothed, at the moment of marriage, commit themselves to love one another forever. Also, they firmly decide to receive and train the children that God may send them. God our Lord has willed to grant special graces to those who get married so that they achieve this mission to their best.

The Meaning of the Commandments","items":[{"number":1,"question":"Do we know how to behave ourselves?","answer":"We can know how to behave properly since we have two sources of information:

It is possible to discover what is convenient for us by analyzing our own nature.
Our Creator has shown us what we should do and should avoid. The summary of this revelation is contained in the Ten Commandments given to Moses by God.

"},{"number":2,"question":"Are the Commandments a heavy burden forced by God on men?","answer":"Not at all. The commandments are divine aids which lead our path. The Creator knows what is convenient for us. He wishes us to be happy; therefore He warns us of the proper behavior. Acts like stealing, killing and lying damage man and offend God's love for man. This would happen even in the case that He would not have mentioned it expressly."}]},{"title":"B. The Ten Commandments","items":[{"number":3,"question":"What are the first three Commandments?","answer":"The first three Commandments sum up the duties that man has towards God. These are the following:

\"Thou shall love God above all things\"- It includes the duty of protecting one's faith by fostering his or her Christian formation. It also calls for the need to always seek a greater love for God, avoiding lukewarmness.
\"Thou shall not take God's name in vain\"- It calls for the duty of highly respecting God's name.
\"Thou shall keep The Day of the Lord Holy\"- It includes the duty of giving due worship to God by attending Mass every Sunday. The importance of this can never be overemphasized since it is a rightful obligation towards God. Additionally, we need to receive all the graces channeled to us through the Mass.

"},{"number":4,"question":"What is the Fourth Commandment?","answer":"After giving God his dues, He reminds us about our duties towards our parents and authorities: “Thou shall honor thy father and mother.” Here the duties of parents towards their children are also included. That's the main reason for which divorce is a sin against the fourth and sixth commandments."},{"number":5,"question":"What about the Fifth Commandment?","answer":"Henceforth we will see the duties towards our neighbor. Let us commence by “Thou shall not kill” in respect for life. This rule forbids abortion, euthanasia and in general terms to mistreat oneself or others. Examples of clear lack of self-respect are getting drunk or abuse of drugs."},{"number":6,"question":"What about the Sixth Commandment?","answer":"\"Thou shall not commit adultery\" or more commonly “impure actions.” After preserving life, Our Lord shows special interest in the capability of giving life. He reminds us of the dignity of sex which gives us the chance to co-operate with God in the birth of new human beings. Chastity, commanded by this rule, leads us to use sex properly: every husband with his wife. It forbids other sexual actions (masturbation, pornography, pre-marital relationships, etc.). It defends the dignity of human body and its intimacy."},{"number":7,"question":"What is the Seventh Commandment?","answer":"Material possessions are necessary to preserve life. Our Lord reminds us of the need to respect other people's goods. “Thou shall not steal.” The obligation of returning what was stolen is included in this command."},{"number":8,"question":"What about the Eighth Commandment?","answer":"Man can improve more easily if he or she receives help from other people. That situation requires trust and loyalty. “Thou shall not lie” includes respecting the honor and good name of one's neighbor."},{"number":9,"question":"The Internal Commandments","answer":"- Any action requires a previous internal decision. The commandments affect external actions as well as internal decisions. It is not right to wish for something we shouldn't do. For example, it is evil to hate or kill. As it is more difficult for us to accept evil wishes; Our Lord willed to remind us about them by adding two commandments:

“Thou shall not covet your neighbor's wife” (related to the sixth commandment).
“Thou shall not covet your neighbor's goods” (referring to the seventh commandment).

"},{"number":10,"question":"How can we sum up the Ten Commandments?","answer":"The point is to behave properly; respecting God and men. To wish someone well is to love. To summarize, “Love thy God upon all things and thy neighbor in as much as thy love thyself.” It also means that we should also love ourselves but not above all things."}]},{"title":"C. Sin and the Christian Goal","items":[{"number":11,"question":"What are sins?","answer":"A person who acts against any of these commandments causes harm to himself/herself and perhaps to others. That's an offense to God who loves us and others. Offenses to God are called sins and they are willed reckless actions or omissions against God's laws. According to their seriousness, they can be considered mortal or venial sins."},{"number":12,"question":"What are considered as mortal sins?","answer":"There are several serious or mortal sins like: insulting God consciously; not going to Mass on Sunday; getting drunk or drugged; committing impure actions; amongst others."},{"number":13,"question":"When do you commit a mortal sin?","answer":"Three conditions are necessary: serious matter, awareness and complete consent. That is to say: choosing consciously something seriously against God's law. There is no need to attempt to offend God; it is enough to act badly and voluntarily; doing something seriously forbidden."},{"number":14,"question":"Is avoiding sins the objective for Christians?","answer":"Not at all. The aim is much more attractive. The objective is getting oneself to be one with Christ, the same identity, being like Him from the inside; fully becoming children of God; growing in love with God in sanctity. That's why the main commandment is the First one."}]}],"relatedSlugs":["doctrine","truths","sacraments","prayer","naturallaw","oldtestament","respect","mass","divorce","abortion","euthanasia","sexuality","chastity","loyalty","sin"],"translations":{"fr":"commandements","it":"comandamenti","pt":"mandamentos","es":"mandamientos"},"sourceFile":"IDEAS_RAPIDAS\\idpru\\idprui\\commandments.htm"},{"slug":"prayer","lang":"en","title":"Prayer","description":"What is prayer?

What Is Prayer and Ways of Praying","items":[{"number":1,"question":"What is prayer?","answer":"Prayer is lifting one's thoughts to God: to praise Him and thank Him, to implore His pardon and ask for His help, to share our worries and our joys. To converse with Him. Prayer is also lifting our thoughts to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the angels, and the saints."},{"number":2,"question":"What are the different ways to pray?","answer":"There are many ways to pray, since styles of expression vary with each person. The types of prayer are usually grouped into two:

Vocal prayer, where one speaks to God using traditional formulas used by the saints, such as the Our Father and the Hail Mary.
Mental prayer, where one addresses the Lord using one's own words.

"},{"number":3,"question":"Are there other modes of prayer?","answer":"One can also offer to God one's daily work and occupations (which might be called manual prayer, since the work done by one's hands is raised up to the Lord). Likewise, daily sacrifices and efforts can be presented to God as prayer of the senses, offering the pain of the senses to the Lord. Both are forms of mental prayer enriched with deeds."}]},{"title":"B. Advice and the Necessity of Prayer","items":[{"number":4,"question":"Advice for praying better?","answer":"To pray better, it is helpful to address God with humility and trust, with faith, perseverance, and docility—knowing with Whom we are speaking.

On earth, it is also a necessity, a duty, and an inclination:

A necessity, because human beings need the pardon and divine assistance we ask for in prayer.
A duty, because creatures ought to praise and thank their Creator, which is done by turning to Him in prayer.
An inclination, because our heart longs to draw closer to God. For this reason, prayer regularly deepens one's interior joy.

"},{"number":7,"question":"How much should a Christian pray?","answer":"It varies from person to person. A Christian beginning spiritual life may start with brief vocal prayers or aspirations (*aspiramenta*). But a Christian who loves God does not settle for the bare minimum and devotes at least half an hour a day to prayer. For example, many Christian families pray the Rosary, meditate on the Gospels, say night prayers, etc."}]},{"title":"C.

Usually, addressing God with a sacred image before one's eyes helps focus attention and encourages holy sentiments and desires. For this reason, churches feature many devotional images."},{"number":10,"question":"Is it recommended to pray before the Tabernacle?","answer":"It is a most commendable place to pray, because Jesus Christ is truly and substantially present there in the Blessed Sacrament, and it is with Him that one desires to converse."}]}],"relatedSlugs":["doctrine","mass","confession","faith","God","joy","christian","rosary","heart"],"translations":{"fr":"priere","it":"preghiera","pt":"oracao","es":"oracion"},"sourceFile":"IDEAS_RAPIDAS\\idpru\\idprui\\prayer.htm"},{"slug":"God","lang":"en","title":"God","description":"How can we know God?

God is immensely wise and powerful to create so splendid a universe (big bang ; evolutionism).
The Creator possesses to the highest degree the perfections we see in creatures, without any mixture of defects or limitations. For example, God is Good and Just, and is not mortal.
God is spiritual, since material beings can break and perish.
God is eternal: the Creator must have always existed, for otherwise, who would have created Him?
God is humble: He created a universe while passing unnoticed.

"},{"number":3,"question":"What does Revelation tell us about God?","answer":"Studying the teachings of Jesus Christ is a sound and reliable path to knowing God. Through them, we learn, among other truths, that:

God rewards the good (heaven) and punishes the wicked (hell).
There are three Persons in God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God loves us deeply: the Son of God became man and died on the Cross to save us.

"},{"number":4,"question":"What do we learn about God in prayer?","answer":"Prayer is a simple yet profound way to know the Lord. It draws us into divine friendship and intimacy.

Miracles reinforce faith. Since only God can perform them, it is logical that the faith of those who know about the event increases.
Miracles manifest divine love and providence, which cares for the spiritual life of his children.
Frequently miracles cause an earthly good. For example, healings.

"},{"number":3,"question":"Are miracles necessary?","answer":"Some miracle is necessary to know that it is God who stands behind an affirmation or a command. However, an abundance of miracles is not necessary for faith, but is a sign of divine love."},{"number":4,"question":"Are miracles effective for faith?","answer":"Not always, since personal dispositions have a great influence. Let us recall that human freedom remains, and can reject faith even when miracles are seen. For example, the Pharisees acknowledge the miracles that Jesus performs and decide to kill him. Judas himself performed miracles and handed over the Lord. In the 20th century, the sun of Fatima danced in the sky before 70,000 people, but not all of them became saints. We can say that believers accept miracles and reactivate their faith. On the other hand, atheists deny miracles because their atheism prevents them from accepting them even when they are evident."},{"number":5,"question":"Examples of miracles?","answer":"The best known miracles are gathered in the Bible, in the Old Testament and in the New, principally in the gospels. Our Lord Jesus Christ performed many healings, raised the dead, multiplied loaves, calmed storms, walked on water, rose from the dead..."},{"number":6,"question":"Are there miracles valid for modern man?","answer":"Yes. And in abundance. For example:

There are well-documented ancient miracles that remain valid today, as long as one honestly accepts the historical data. Included here are the miracles narrated in the gospels.
There are well-accredited miracles in beatification cases. Every time the Church names a person a saint, it accepts that at least two miracles performed through their intercession have been verified. In these matters the Church is very careful.
There are miracles that remain visible to anyone.

"},{"number":7,"question":"Examples of these last miracles?","answer":"There are quite a few and it is easy to verify them, but this will not change faith or conduct unless one is a good man who seeks God sincerely. Let us select three miracles:

Eucharistic miracles: Lanciano.
Marian miracles: Guadalupe.
Miracles of saints: Saint Januarius and Saint Pantaleon; Saint Nicholas.
