1.

ON DOCTRINE: Instruction/Question: -State the Relationship between Redemption, Salvation,

and Eternal Life.

God is actively involved in redemption, whereas God is indirectly involved in salvation.

There is also a view that redemption refers to the salvation of humanity as a whole, whereas
salvation refers to the salvation of each individual from their sins.

2. 2. ON MORALS Instruction/Question: - Give a concrete example of how you live the Theological
Virtue of Faith, Hope, and Love and state their significance to Salvation.

I’ll live out the theological virtues by having faith and to remind myself that where I’m
right now is not where I’ll always be. We cannot explain the ways in which God works,
though there will be a moment in time when He will make Himself apparent to me --
even if I don't see it at first, I will with hindsight. Hope comes from inward. You have to
believe that you are ok, and you are going to be ok. That you don't know what is going
to happen tomorrow, and that it is still good that's going to happen to you. In life, you
have to take the good with the bad. You are going to have bad days, you are going to
feel like worthless sometimes, but it won't be all the time. There will be a day when you
will be ok, and that's what you live for. These virtues are important for salvation
because it’s what helps us not lose our way.

3. 3. ON WORSHIP: Instruction/Question: - Observe a celebration of the Holy Mass (attend the

actual celebration for the Catholics and watch on YouTube for the Non-Catholics) and find out
and explain why it is believed as a Celebration of Salvation.

In addition to it being a matter of obedience to the Church, remember that the Mass is
the New Covenant temple sacrifice. Throughout our relationship with God, he's asked
for and we've offered him sacrifices. Sacrifice is the centerpiece of worship and has been
since Abraham. With the dawn of the New Covenant, our perpetual sacrifice is Christ. At
every Mass Christ's sacrifice is re-presented to God. Every Mass is our participation in
that eternal sacrifice. To not participate in the Mass is to withhold the sacrifice that
rightfully belongs to God, which is the center of our Christian worship. We don't go to
Mass simply because some dude in a white pointy hat decided we should. We go
because we're Christians and we have to worship God and the Mass is the means God
gave us to do it-- just as he gave us the temple for sacrifices in the Old Covenant. By not
going to Mass, you're withholding your worship and your sacrifice from God. As for why
Sunday is more important than other days, it's because it's the day Jesus rose from the
dead and because of that it has been designated as the most proper time to re-present
Christ's sacrifice.
