Chapter 4: The tools for Goods Works
Reflection:
1.) Choose 3 of the Tools of Good Works which you believe you are consistently applying to your life. Give examples of how you do these Good works.

Renounce yourself in order to follow Christ.

This was written in the book of Matthew 16:24 “Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.”And also it say this in the book of Luke 9:23.It is true, denying to our self means that do not followed your wants to bring only happiness to you sometimes there are things that will makes you happy but it was not God’s will just like when you eat what we called “ampalaya” it was bitter but it is good in our health and also called “Siling Labuyo” it was so spicy but you know it is good in our blood vessels it strengthen it. What I mean is when people doing things that makes them happy but it is prohibited by God’s will, like when a man that has wife who took for another women it is enjoyable for them that they have another girl that is balmy because he tired of his wife scented that is not good so he find another women but it was contrast the word of God, it says at Exodo 20:17 and Deuteronomio 5:21 “Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour’s wife……”. Follow Christ commandment, not now the commandment of Moses, this law of Moses was given for Israelite, it says at the book of Malachi 4:4 “Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, whichI commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statues and judgments”, this God’s commandment to him in the Mount of Sinai and was called by God the “Law of Moses”, just like the commandments given by God to Jesus Christ for Christians which was called as “Law of Christ” at Galatians 6:2 “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ”, the law of Christ came from God just like the law of Moses in the book of John 12:49-50 “

    Jesus summarized the Law and Prophets in Matthew 22:37-40. But the Sermon on the Mount best delivers insight into the mind of Christ regarding his view on this subject. He told his audience, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them” (Matt 5:17). Jesus easily identifies his position here. From Romans 3:31, Paul validates what Jesus is saying. The fulfillment of the law is then established or fulfilled through faith in Christ Jesus. The Law means nothing if salvation and righteousness can take place from the fulfillment of an imperfect Law; therefore faith confirms the Law’s integrity.…

    St John the Divine

    • 729 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The Cathedral of Saint John the Divine is simply breathtaking. From the exterior to the interior of the cathedral, you can find plentiful amounts of highly sophisticated bodies of work. Before laying a foot inside, the massive bronze doors containing forty-eight relief panels depicting scenes from the Old and New Testament catches the eyes of many. Also, many note the exquisite statues and carvings of saints and Jesus all along the Western Front of the Cathedral. Once inside, the enormous pilier-cantonnés stand along the nave aisle, where it erects up into the ceiling. Eventually, the columns meet with one another at four angles, creating a quadripartite vault in the nave ceiling. The stained glass windows that lines the entire cathedral strikes your retina at all different angles as you rotate your body. A little beyond the crossing, the high altar contains a magnificent cross, as well as an iron tomb of the man who founded the cathedral. If you focus the eyes just behind the choir, you will glare at seven stunning radial chapels—each one representing an apostle, a patron, or immigrant. But out of all the marvelous artwork within and outside the chapel, there was one particular window that caught my attention.…

    Saint Sebastian

    • 2 Pages

    Saint Sebastian (died c. 288) was an early Christian saint and martyr. It is said that he was killed during the Roman emperor Diocletian's persecution of Christians. He is commonly depicted in art and literature tied to a post or tree and shot with arrows. This is the most common artistic depiction of Sebastian; however, according to legend, he was rescued and healed by Irene of Rome. Shortly afterwards he criticized Diocletian in person and as a result was clubbed to death.[1] He is venerated in the Catholic and Orthodox Churches.…

    Late in the fifth century the son of a well-off family in Italy left for isolation on his mission to truly seek god. This man was St. Benedict, who is credited with the first establishment of the concept of withdrawing from all temptation for Christian beliefs in the west. St. Benedict left his home and went to the top of a mountain, where he established a monastic community. In this community the individuals who resided there, constantly reiterated their faith. They sacrificed whatever they may have had to prove their true commitment to God. This became an early ideal of Christianity, that one must suffer loss and sacrifice to prove their loyalty to the faith. It was believed in this time period that if one is content with only what they…

    The essay Saint Denis by Abbott Sugar talks about the architectural treasure the Abbey church is. “The first work on this church which we began under the inspiration of God.” I believe this quote. I believe that God guide them on how to build his church. I can imagine god inspiring them to choose the right colors. Being raised in a catholic household church is very important in my life. I remember going to church in Mexico when I was younger. I was amazed at the details the church has. As soon as I entered the church the first thing I noticed was the beautiful painted windows. The colors where just perfect that when the sun reflected on them it made it seem like a rainbow. It looked so magical and felt peaceful. “For other foundation can…

    St Patricks

    • 341 Words
    • 2 Pages

    One of Skrzynecki’s main focuses in ‘St Patrick’s College’ is the disconnections from the environment. The imagery of ‘Our Lady watched with outstretched arms’ conveys a sense on welcoming and inclusion. However, the ‘Lady’ image is ‘overshadowed by clouds’ and this is symbolises the persona’s insecurities and doubts for the institution. The persona’s disconnections are further reinforced by the irony of ‘I stuck pine needles into the motto.’ The motto represents the core values of the school and the persona is desecrating these ideas. This highlights the persona’s disrespect for the school and his lack of immediate adoption of the school’s ideals. Thus, the persona is alienated and a sense of acceptance is not developed within the institution.…

    Most of the saints are remembered for some outstanding virtue or devotion which they practiced, but Jerome is frequently remembered for his bad temper! It is true that he had a very bad temper and could use a vitriolic pen, but his love for God and his Son Jesus Christ was extraordinarily intense; anyone who taught error was an enemy of God and truth, and St. Jerome went after him or her with his mighty and sometimes sarcastic pen.…
