-Jesus is the only one who can say "My Father" -we don't have natural claim to God's Fatherhood -when we are born God is our Creator (not Father yet) -he becomes our Father through baptism; we become the adopted sons and daughters of God (Peter) |
|
|
Hallowed be thy name

God's name is already holy
-praying that we recognize the the holiness of His name -2nd commandment |
|
|
"God's Fatherhood is more real than human fatherhood"

Pope Benedict
-God possesses perfections of both fatherhood and motherhood -God is to be called Father -Scripture and Tradition support this (Jesus reveals God=Father) -human fathers are projections of God's fatherhood -metaphysically what it means to be father is to be active principle in creation -God couldn't create if he wasn't father |
|
|

I AM WHO AM
|
God reveals his name to Moses because to enter covenant you need to know the person's name

|
|
epiousion (Greek)
|
daily
|
|
|
supersubstantial (Latin)
|
above the thing itself
|
|
|
Problem with epiousion and "daily"?
|
(Origin) epiousion does not exist as a word. It was made up by Matthew and Luke. Word is not found anywhere else in Greek writing.
Some take it to mean daily because there is a phrase similar to this word -however it literally means supersubstantial |
|
|
Why coin a new word that just means daily?
|
There already exists a word for daily, just use that.
Epiousion means give us the Eucharist that we need for supernatural nourishment and strength |
|
|
"And therefore we ask that our bread, that is Christ, may be given to us daily; that we who abide and live in Christ may not depart from his sanctificaion and body."
|

forgive me insofar as i forgive those who sin against me
if i am unwilling to forgive then Lord do not forgive me |
|

|
|

-Jesus doesn't play favorites -talents given according to gifts of each individual Master = Jesus Talent = gifts/abilities (15 years of work) Return of master = 2nd coming Moral: Jesus will make an accounting of what we did with the gifts he gave us. Did we use our gifts to better ourselves and others or just sit on them? |

|
"Hail Full of Grace" meaning?
|
Hail = "peace and joy to you"
Full of Grace - "highly favored" -understatement -only time angel addresses human by a title -only Mary is declared full of grace -title is equated with her name -Mary's fullness of grace defines who she is in her very being! "Grace and peace (hail to you) who from the very beginning of your existence received this plentitude of grace (immaculate conception) and in the present this condition is still true; and it carries over into the futre that this will not change -if Mary had any conncetion to sin she would not have been said to be full of grace |
|
|
Differences in Mary and Zechariah's responses?
|
Zechariah questioned that his wife can recieve
Mary questions how conception will happen "How can this be since I have no husband?" Greek - "since I do not know man" |
|
|
Angel speaks in future tense. Why is Mary questioning how this would happen? (duh...sex!)
|
Mary and Joseph had taken vow of celibacy
-only way this passage makes sense -very strong position held in the Church *Mary wanted to see if this would not cause her to break her vow (angel from satan or God) |

Explain prophecy of Mary's suffering
|
First, get all great praises of Jesus
Then, prophesize of the great sorrows of Mary (sword will pierce...) Mary born w/o OS -we don't operate the way God intended b/c we still suffer from OS effects -Mary does not suffer from these effects. Our ability to suffer is directly linked with our ability to love.
