Reading:
Readings
The
proclamation of
the Gospel is
the good news
that jesus is
risen.
Eucharist
God becomes the
flesh in
transubstansiation.
Through the
eucharist, jesus
continues to
redeem us
Our Father and Com-
munion:
By taking
communion, we
are accepting
the grand
sacrafice that
god made for
us.
End of Mass
We are invited
to go forward
and spread
the good
news.
Salvation in the past
Jesus died 2000 years ago to atone for
our sins
Salvation in the Present
By us having the eucharist, Jesus’ is still
making the sacrafice today
Salvation in the future
Salvation will end on the judgement day.
St Anselm:
Jesus’ total obidience to God “Paid a ransom” for our sins.
Paying the ransom is a metaphore for humanity making a
sacrafice in order to be worthy of God’s love.
St Irenaeus
St. Irenaeus taught us that the tree of
Knowledge and “the tree of the cross” are
comparable.
The tree of the cross is the tree in which
humanity was redeemed.
Whereas the tree of knowledge is the tree
from which humanity fell from grace.
Criticicms of anselm
We are not
“captives” of
God. We are
not paying a
“ransom”
instead, god is
offering us a
chance at
freedom
