[apenitentialprayer]

How much Latin should a Catholic know? For example, should one know Our Father? Hail Mary? The whole rosary? Entire Creeds? None? Would love your opinion/scholarly analysis! Always appreciate you, God bless

I don't think there is a cookie-cutter answer for this. If I had to give a no-nuance answer to the minimum amount of Latin an individual Catholic should know, I'd say "the amount of Latin used in your region's average Novus Ordo Mass."

That being said, I am never going to advocate against learning a language. I think there are a lot of benefits in learning and studying a given text in its original language (or, in the case of the Creeds and the standard prayers, in the language through which the Latin Church Fathers interpreted them).

To use one example: in the United States, the English translation of the Nicene Creed used in the Roman Rite uses the phrase "I believe in one, holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church." But if you look at the original ("original"; bear with me) Latin, there is no "I believe in," but "I believe." (Credo in unum Deum […] Et in unum Dominum […] Et in Spiritum Sanctum […] Et unum, sanctam, catholicam et apostolicam Ecclesiam). This linguistic construction was considered very important to the Latin Fathers; you "believed in," you placed your faith in, the three Persons of the Trinity in a way you didn't "believe in" the Church. You simply believed the Church in what She said about the God who established Her. This is a nuance that is lost in our English translation.

To be quite honest with you, I pray purely in the vernacular. English is the one and only language that I feel comfortable inhabiting enough to speak to God in. (Hopefully someday soon I will add Swedish to that list, but for now I am a living American stereotype). But if you look at the Pater Noster, or the Ave Maria, or the text of the Missale Romanum, you know, you potentially learn to look at these prayers in a new way.

So the short answer, really; you shouldn't feel obligated to know Latin, but learning Latin might help you gain further insight into the prayer life of the Latin Church.

Wheel: Chance or Change

Albertus Magnus summarizes the positions of the different philosophers. In connection with his study of one set of opponents to the theory of chance, he says: "Videtur etiam contra fidem Catholicam esse si ponatur casus et fortuna. Si enim omnia quae futura sunt quocunque modi, praescit Deus." And he brings up the question of Divine Providence: God could not foresee if chance played a part in the world, "Ergo videtur haeresis ponere casum et fortunam."102 are robie it ohings ha free holly Albert i vintimate s idea of fate and his wheel figure, perhaps because it seems to retain both the element of chance (or at least change) and divine foreordination:

For the wip ask game (couldn't copy and paste the emojis for some reason)!

What’s a story you’d love to write but haven’t even started yet?

Post any sentence from your wip

Oh dear, a story I'd love to write... I have SO MANY single sentences in my ideas note, it's ridiculous. But one I've been thinking about on and off is for my Credo series: "Et in unam sanctam catholicam ecclesiam" (and in one holy catholic church) My idea was to go a little ironic with it and write something about the Reformation, specifically Luther. Maybe even just from an outside perspective, where they don't even interact with him, but they maybe notice his 95 Theses on the door in Wittenberg, or they happen to be in the audience for his hearing or something. I would just like to explore how Crowley and Aziraphale would react to it all. Maybe the just sit around with a glass of wine and talk about it, although I guess that's not the most riveting narrative, is it.

A sentence from my WIP. I haven't really talked about this publicly, but maybe I should, to get my motivatipn back, since I do want to get this out before the finale. So, a little background first:

I have a S3 WIP that I've been working on and off for almost a year now. It actually starts on Valentine's Day this year (I wanted to start publishing it a looong time ago :P). The title will be Et resurrexit tertia die (and resurrected on the third day). It will follow the lead-up to the Second Coming, from Valentine's Day/Ash Wednesday all the way to Easter. For reasons entirely of his own making, Crowley gets stuck with a human (he could just leave, and they keep trying to make him, but he likes being annoying). Up in Heaven, for reasons completely outside his control, Aziraphale gets stuck having to solve a problem that (oh no!) means he'll have to go back to Earth to solve it. What a tragedy! What an inconvenience! (/s) Meanwhile, the human really just wants to be left alone, Muriel is having a grand old time and Nina and Maggie just try to get some gossip.

It'll be mostly a comedy, but will get rather dark towards the end, which is why I will make it an M rating. So far, I have about 57k written, plus another 40k of notes.

And here's the sentence (or rather paragraph):

“What?” Crowley looked dumbfounded for a moment, then his jaw dropped and his eyes grew larger and rounder than Aziraphale had ever seen them. “No. Nonononono. You're not telling me what I think you're telling me!”

“Well, if you think I'm telling you what I think you think I'm telling you, then yes, I am telling you that.”

Thanks for asking, I love getting to ramble about Et Resurrexit! I only wish I could make myself write as well...

APOSTLES CREED

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed (English)

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed (Tagalog)

Sumasampalataya ako sa iisang Diyos Amang makapangyarihan sa lahat, na may gawa ng langit at lupa, ng lahat na nakikita at di nakikita. Sumasampalataya ako sa iisang Panginoong Jesu-Kristo, bugtong na Anak ng Diyos, sumilang sa Ama bago pa nagkapanahon. Diyos buhat sa Diyos, liwanag buhat sa liwanag, Diyos na totoo buhat sa Diyos na totoo. Sumilang at hindi ginawa, kaisa ng Ama sa pagka-Diyos at sa pamamagitan niya ay ginawa ang lahat. Dahil sa ating pawang mga tao at dahil sa ating kaligtasan, siya ay nanaog sa kalangitan. Nagkatawang-tao siya lalang ng Espiritu Santo kay Mariang Birhen at naging tao. Ipinako sa krus dahil sa atin. Nagpakasakit dahil sa hatol ni Poncio Pilato namatay at inilibing. Muli siyang nabuhay sa ikatlong araw ayon sa Banal na Kasulatan. Umakyat siya sa kalangitan at lumuklok sa kanan ng Amang Maykapal. Paririto siyang muli na may dakilang kapangyarihan upang hukuman ang mga buhay at patay. Sumasampalataya ako sa Espiritu Santo, Panginoon at nagbibigay-buhay na nanggagaling sa Ama at sa Anak. Sinasamba siya at pinararangalan kaisa ng Ama at Anak. Nagsalita siya sa pamamagitan ng propeta. Sumasampalataya ako sa iisang Simbahang katolika at apostolika gayundin sa isang binyag sa ikapagpapatawad ng kasalanan. At hinihintay ko ang muling pagkabuhay ng nangamatay at ang buhay na walang hanggan. Amen.

EVANGELHO

Domingo 04 de Junho de 2023

℣. O Senhor esteja convosco.

℟. Ele está no meio de nós.

℣. Proclamação do Evangelho de Jesus Cristo ✠ segundo João

℟. Glória a vós, Senhor.

Deus amou tanto o mundo, que deu o seu Filho unigênito, para que não morra todo o que nele crer, mas tenha a vida eterna. 17De fato, Deus não enviou o seu Filho ao mundo para condenar o mundo, mas para que o mundo seja salvo por ele. 18Quem nele crê, não é condenado, mas quem não crê, já está condenado, porque não acreditou no nome do Filho unigênito.

- Palavra da Salvação.

💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

- Comentário do Dia

🔹A fé é o prelúdio da salvação

Embora os “doutores” deste mundo considerem a fé em Jesus Cristo dispensável e até inconveniente, por Revelação divina nós sabemos: “Quem nele crê, não é condenado, mas quem não crê, já está condenado”.

Meditação. — 1. Depois de recordarmos a vinda do Espírito Santo em Pentecostes, hoje, unidos a toda a Igreja, celebramos a solenidade da Santíssima Trindade, o Deus uno e trino junto do qual desejamos um dia estar. Com esse mistério, vemos a completude da obra salvífica de Deus, pois, pela ação do Espírito Santo, recebemos todos os meios para alcançar a salvação, mas ainda precisamos nos apropriar dela; e o primeiro passo para fazê-lo consiste em crer nas verdades de fé.

Por isso, o Evangelho deste domingo, através do diálogo entre Jesus e Nicodemos, nos fala da fé na verdade salvadora de que “quem nele crê, não é condenado, mas quem não crê, já está condenado” (Jo 3, 18). Muitos, porém, têm dificuldade de compreender essa “inconveniente” verdade, justamente porque já não acreditam na existência da própria verdade.

Ao contrário do que comumente se afirma, a verdade existe; e não só existe, como é uma realidade que se impõe por si mesma e que independe da nossa opinião. Ou seja, por mais que o mundo moderno propague e alimente a autoilusão de que o inferno não existe ou de que todos irão se salvar, essa falácia não modifica o fato de que somente quem crer em Jesus Cristo será salvo.

E crer em Jesus, na prática, é crer em quem Ele é: verdadeiro Deus e verdadeiro homem; o Filho de Deus consubstancial ao Pai; e que tanto amou o Pai a ponto de seu amor, o Divino Espírito Santo, transbordar sobre nós.

2. Sabendo, então, que a fé é o prelúdio da salvação, precisamos nesta solenidade da Santíssima Trindade renovar nossa fé neste mistério que com a Igreja professamos. Para isso, é relevante recordar um antigo símbolo da fé, atribuído a Santo Atanásio e conhecido como símbolo Quiqumque.

Seu primeiro artigo já explicita o que hoje refletimos: Quicumque vult salvus esse, ante omnia opus est, ut teneat catholicam fidem, “Todo o que quiser ser salvo, antes de tudo é necessário que mantenha a fé católica”. Além de atestar a condenação dos que não creem, também a assegura no caso daqueles que deturpam a fé: “se alguém não a conservar íntegra e inviolada, sem dúvida perecerá para sempre”. E explica, dentro daquilo que a inteligência humana é capaz de exprimir, este grande mistério que hoje celebramos e no qual devemos crer firmemente:

A fé católica é que veneremos um só Deus na Trindade e a Trindade na unidade, não confundindo as pessoas, nem separando a substância; pois uma é a pessoa do Pai, outra a [pessoa] do Filho, outra a [pessoa] do Espírito Santo; mas uma só é a divindade do Pai e do Filho e do Espírito Santo, igual a glória, coeterna a majestade.

Qual o Pai, tal o Filho, [e] tal o Espírito Santo: incriado o Pai, incriado o Filho, incriado o Espírito Santo; incomensurável o Pai, incomensurável o Filho, incomensurável o Espírito Santo; eterno o Pai, eterno o Filho, eterno o Espírito Santo; e, no entanto, não três eternos, mas um só eterno (DH 75).

A estas verdades devemos dar nosso assentimento na fé, porque Deus assim no-las revelou. E, uma vez que cremos, precisamos levar outras pessoas a crer para que também sejam salvas, pois nisso consiste o mandato do próprio Cristo: “Ide por todo o mundo e pregai o Evangelho a toda criatura. Quem crer e for batizado será salvo, mas quem não crer será condenado” (Mc 16, 15–16). Tal apostolado, longe de ser um ato de “intolerância”, constitui uma grandiosa atitude de caridade para com os irmãos, visto que conduz à luz os que estão nas trevas, e leva ao conhecimento da verdade os que estão absortos no erro.

Que neste domingo da Santíssima Trindade renovemos nossa fé batismal, dando assim o primeiro passo para alcançar a salvação que nos foi conquistada na Cruz. E que o Espírito Santo derramado em Pentecostes nos una cada vez mais a Cristo, a fim de que um dia estejamos no Céu junto de Deus Pai, e possamos contemplar face a face o grande mistério que hoje celebramos.

Oração. — Senhor, Deus uno e trino que nos revelastes as verdades que nos conduzem à salvação, ajudai-nos a crescer na fé, a fim de que, vivendo a esperança e a caridade, possamos um dia contemplar face a face o mistério que hoje celebramos. Amém.

Deus abençoe você!

カトリック教会 - Wikipedia

キリスト教諸教派の成立の概略を表す樹形図。さらに細かい分類方法と経緯があり、この図はあくまで概略である。

「カトリック」の語源はギリシア語の「カトリケー（καθολική：普遍的、世界的）」の形容詞「カトリコス（καθολικος）[注 2]」に由来し、ラテン語では「カトリクス（Catholicus）」と表記される[3]。 この言葉は、成文化されて現在まで伝わるものとしては「ニカイア・コンスタンティノポリス信条」および「使徒信条」に典拠があり、前者ではラテン語: unam, sanctam, catholicam et apostolicam Ecclesiam（英語: (In) one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church；唯一の、聖なる、普遍の、使徒的な教会〔を〕）[注 3]、後者ではラテン語: sanctam Ecclesiam catholicam（聖なる普遍の教会〔を〕）と記されている。 （略） カトリック教会の教えによれば、教会とは単なる人間的な組織ではなく、約2000年前にパレスチナで誕生した初代教会の伝統を継続する人々の集まりというだけでもなく、本質的には「神から来るもの」であるとする[4]。
