(Page 100) 1. Besides the ways for holiness listed on the chart, what gift does God provide to help you live a Holy life?

God provides me with the gift of redemption so that I could live a Holy life.

(Page 101) How is God Holy?

God's holiness is a part of his identity. He created goodness, love, and beauty in his own power.

(Page 106) Write a one-sentence definition of holiness that combines the understandings of the term from both the Old and New Testaments.

Holiness comes from God alone, so people and things can only be Holy if they're related to God.

Humans are also called to be Holy.

(Page 126) How could you apply Saint Terese of Lisieux's "little way" as a model for your own

I could use Saint Terese of Lisieux's "little way" as a model for my own by being more patient and not allowing rude customers at work bother me, and being slower to anger with my younger sister.

(Page 126) How do you interpret Sain Francis de Sale's call to holiness: "Bloom where you are planted"?

I interpret this as being the best that you can be and living a holy life despite where you are. Whether the "soil" you are in is perfect or flawed, you should still live a Christian life.

In the Liturgy of the Hours, vespers are evening prayer.

Prayer: Self-Denial: "true love is found in self denial" Living the Virtues: accept the bothersome events in her life in Jesus' name (the little way)

(Page 119) Saint Francis de Sales:

Prayer: "bloom where you are planted" Self-Denial: you must combine self-denial with prayer Living the Virtues: worked to restore peace within the Church

(Page 97) Ways Thomas Merton is Holy:

Prayer: through prayer and the eucharist, you can find the energy to fight your inner battles Self-Denial: "give your faith and self denial, and you will remain one family" Living the Virtues: went to great lengths to support justice and social causes.

(Page 118) Rewrite each sentence to make it true.

Sacramental graces are the grace of the Holy Spirit, given by Christ, that is proper to each sacrament. A vocation is the calling or destiny we have in this life and in the hereafter. The common priesthood of the faithful is exercised by the unfolding of baptismal grace--a life of faith, hope and charity, a life according to the Spirit. The evangelical counsels are vows of personal poverty, chastity understood as lifelong celibacy and obedience to a bishop or to the superior of a religious community. The domestic church is a name for the Christian family.

(Page 126) Briefly describe the process of canonization today.

Someone dies, and then a friend asks the bishop for begin cause. The bishop is called in, and they are declared a "servant of God" There's a formal review, then they send the cause to Rome. The congregation of saints decides if they are venerable. If a miracle happens after their death, so they are called "blessed". A feast day is given to the blessed. After beatification, a second miracle must be performed. The saint is canonized.

(Page 100) 5. What is the primary meaning of holiness?

The primary meaning of holiness is living in communication with God and others.

(Page 126) Why is it natural for Catholics to pray to saints known to be in heaven to ask for their intercession?
