Personal Study 6

Symbolon episode (“Knowing the Faith 6: The Paschal Mystery”)

• Both parts of the episode available on Formed.org

• Questions to answer:

  1. Scripture tells us that the Son of God humbled Himself to become man, and was obedient to the Father even to His death on the cross (Philippians 2:5-11). What does God’s willingness to enter our world, embrace our humanity and die for our sins tell us about God’s love for us?  How can Jesus’ self-sacrificial love be an example for our lives?

  2. What does it say about God's love that Jesus descended into Hell?

1. Explain the tenth rule, with Fr. Gallagher's examples and/or examples from your own life.
2. The main thing we are to do in consolation is simply to enjoy God's nearness. What is the secondary (but very important) thing we are to do, and what are the specific ways St. Ignatius and Fr. Gallagher says we can do it?
