Triune God Flashcards
Nice Creed showing the father
God the Father is the creator of all things - “I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth”
Nicene Creed showing the son
Like God the Father, God the Son is eternal - “The Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages”
There is no distinction in nature between the Father and the Son - “Consubstantial with the Father”
The Son took on the limitations of human nature to become Jesus
Jesus had a human mother but was conceived by the Holy Spirit - “By the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man”
The Son became human out of love for all people, to save them from being separated from God by sin
He suffered and died as a human being - “For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day”
After he died, Jesus rose into heaven to take his place as the Son of God
Nicene Creed showing the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit gives life to all things - “I believe in the Holy Spirit,the Lord,the giver of life”
The Holy Spirit comes from both the Father and the Son, uniting - “Who proceeds from the Father and the Son”
The Holy Spirit is equal in majesty and power to the Father and the Son - “Who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified”
The Holy Spirit inspires people to let them know the will of God - “Who has spoken through the prophets”
Genesis 1:1-3
“In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light.” Genesis 1:1-3
Mathew 3:16-17
“And when Jesus had been baptised, just as he came up from the water, suddenly the heavens were opened to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.’”
Galatians 4:6-7
“And because you are children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, ‘Abba! Father!’”
How music is useful in worship
Sacrasanctum Concillium 112
1 - “Sacred music is to be considered the more holy in proportion as it is more closely connected with the liturgical action, whether it adds delight to prayer, fosters unity of minds, or confers greater solemnity upon the sacred rites.”
2 - “Sacred song united to the words… forms a necessary or integral part of the solemn liturgy.”
Gloria
Begins with “Glory to God in the highest heaven.” (Luke 2:14)
What is the Eucharistic Acclamation based on?
Based on Isiah’s vision in the Temple when the angels cried out - “Holy,holy,holy is the Lord of hosts” (Isaiah 6:1-3)
