Do you know what the Commandments require and do you really understand the
Sacraments? Would you like to increase your love of God, to be able to explain
your faith, and to show its conformity to Scripture? These pages by St. Thomas
Aquinas will help you do all this and more.
Published here in an easy-to-read format, these straightforward discussions
of the Commandments and Sacraments employ over 350 Scriptural quotations to show
you what the Christian life demands - and how can live it better.
You know many things about the Faith... but can you answer the
following?
THE COMMANDMENTS: What are the three meanings of "in vain"? Do you
sometimes take God's name "in vain" without realising it? What three things must
you avoid on the Sabbath? What three must you be sure to do? What is
concupiscence? What four means must you use to overcome it? In what five ways
will God reward you for honouring your parents - and punish you for failing to
do so? When is anger virtuous? When is it sinful? How does a wife's adultery
differ from a husband's? What are five ways in which you could be "bearing false
witness" unwittingly? Why is stealing the most dangerous of all sins?
THE SACRAMENTS: What is a Sacrament? How do the Sacraments perfect us? What
do the Sacraments have in common? How do they differ? What misconceptions do you
have about the Sacraments (and are some of those misconceptions actually
heretical)?
Filled with helpful information and sound pastoral advice, these pages by
the Church's premier theologian are a godsend for today's ordinary, struggling
Christian. They will help you correct your faults and find remedies for
spiritual and moral weaknesses.
