Hathorn Chapter 3 Flashcards
Simeon
Recognized Jesus as the Christ at the Presentation in the Temple
Atonement
Reparation for an offense through a voluntary action that expiates the injustice done
Redemption
Jesus Christ, through the sacrificial Death on the Cross, set man free from the slavery of sin
Mary
The Mother of Jesus. The Blessed Virgin Mary’s greatest privilege is her divine Motherhood and, hence, her title Bearer of God, or Mother of God
Paschal Mystery
Christ’s work of redemption accomplished by his Passion, Death, Resurrection, and Ascension, whereby, “dying he destroyed our death, rising he restored our life” (CCC 1067; cf. 654). The Paschal Mystery is celebrated and made present in the liturgies of the Church, and its saving effects are communicated especially through the Sacrament of the Eucharist, which renews the Paschal Sacrifice of Christ as the sacrifice offered by the Church (CCC 571, 1362-1372)
Anna
The prophetess who recognized Jesus as the Messiah when he was presented in the Temple. Anna, or Ann, is also the name of the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Finding the Temple
Described in Luke 2: 41-52, Christ and his parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover. On the return journey, the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph discovered Christ was not with them and, after three days, found him in the Temple, discoursing with the teachers of the Law.
Justification
Being made right with God. It is a free and undeserved gift of God through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
MAGI
Indwelling of the Blessed Trinity
The Blessed Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—are present in the soul from the moment of Baptism and remain as long as that soul is in a state of grace
Paschal Mystery
“Christ’s work of redemption accomplished by his Passion, Death, Resurrection, and Ascension, whereby, “dying he destroyed our death, rising he restored our life” (CCC 1067; cf. 654). The Paschal Mystery is celebrated and made present in the liturgies of the Church, and its saving effects are communicated especially through the Sacrament of the Eucharist, which renews the Paschal Sacrifice of Christ as the sacrifice offered by the Church (CCC 571, 1362-1372).”
Nativity
“The Birth of our Lord Jesus Christ in Bethlehem as well as the events surrounding his Birth.”
Virgin Birth
“The Blessed Virgin Mary conceived Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. She, therefore, was a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus Christ. The Virgin Birth is also an implicit proclamation of the divinity of Jesus Christ.”
Immaculate Conception
“In light of God’s free choice of the Blessed Virgin Mary from all eternity to be the Mother of his Son, it was ordained, from the first moment of her conception, she—by a singular grace of God and by virtue of the foreseen merits of Jesus Christ—was preserved from all stain of Original Sin. Believed from antiquity, this dogma was formally defined by Pope Bl. Pius IX in 1854.”
MAGI
“The wise men described in Matthew 2. They came from the East (likely Persia) to adore the newborn King of the Jews and brought him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Tradition has given them the names Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthasar.”
Sanctifying Grace
“The free and unmerited favor of God dispensed through the sacraments. This grace heals human nature, which has been wounded by sin, giving man a share in the divine life, which is infused into the soul by the Holy Spirit.”
