  4. Prayer of the WeekThe Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Christian Doctrine 1 / Dr. Billings

  5. Patron Saint of the WeekMary, the mother of Jesus Who is Mary? • pregnant as young teenage girl; principle of all saints; follows God’s will; Luke 1:26-38 • Accomplishments: mother – Theotokos - Controversy: “God-bearer” – lofty title • Important to Catholics, Orthodox, other Christians, even to Muslims; • Immaculate Conception: Mary’s own conception (in her mother’s womb) • - by grace free of sin • QUOTATION: • “He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name.” (Luke 1:49) Christian Doctrine 1 / Dr. Billings

  6. What is the most basic goal of Christian Doctrine? “The whole concern of doctrine and its teaching must be directed to the love that never ends. Whether something is proposed for belief, for hope or for action, the love of our Lord must always be made accessible, so that anyone can see that all the works of perfect Christian virtue spring from love and have no other objective than to arrive at love.” Roman Catechism – Trent; quoted by John Paul II at the end of the Prologue of Catechism • According to church, “doctrine” is to teach the love of Christ: love of God, and love of neighbor as self • “Doctrine” is not just ideas – is an effort of the mind directed to the heart • “Doctrine”: if not leading to love, it has missed its mark. • “Doctrine” is not just “info” about God – should lead to God Christian Doctrine 1 / Dr. Billings

  7. Matthew 22:35-40 What is the most basic teaching of Christ on God’s Law? • “… a lawyer, asked him a question, to test him. ‘Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?’ And he said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.’” • Repeated central teaching of Christ is called “the double commandment” • As the most basic teaching of Christ, it is the core of the Christian faith and “Christian Doctrine.” Christian Doctrine 1 / Dr. Billings

  8. Our Approach to The Bible (pdf) How are we reading the Bible? AS… • “revelation”: specially revealed by God; not seen, figured out – a unique type of knowing; • “inspired”: produced from the working of God’s Spirit within the writer (discuss Caravaggio’s image); • from “apostolic tradition”: handed down to us by those who sustained the faith, from first apostles; • a source of teaching, part of “magisterium”: an authoritative document to be “obeyed”; • about Christ(not the reverse): the goal of Bible is not to learn the Bible, but to draw closer to Christ Christian Doctrine 1 / Dr. Billings
