Lesson Vocabulary

  • Kingdom of God
    :
    (n.): God’s reign, or rule, over all things. During His public ministry, Jesus proclaimed that the Kingdom of God was at hand. The Church is the seed, or beginning, of the Kingdom here on earth. The Kingdom will be fulfilled in Heaven.
  • Particular Judgment
    :
    (n.): The judgment experienced immediately after death in which the sum total of our life’s choices for or against God are revealed. Based on our own decisions throughout the course of our lives, we will be given entrance to Heaven (or Purgatory) or will be sent to Hell.
  • General/Last Judgment
    :
    (n.):The judgment experienced on the Last Day in which the light of Christ, who is Truth itself, will illuminate everything. Nothing will remain hidden. We will see not only all of our own individual choices for or against God, but how each one affected everyone else and the whole order of creation. On this, then, we will be judged and welcomed to eternal life with Christ in the New Heavens and the New Earth, or banished into the eternal torment of Hell.
  • Parables
    :
    (n.): Short stories that convey unfamiliar or complex truths in a simple and easy to understand way by using characters and situations that are familiar.
  • Apostles
    :
    (n.): A term meaning “one who is sent,” as Jesus was sent by His Father, and as He sent His chosen disciples to preach the Gospel to the whole world. He called Twelve to become His Apostles, chosen witnesses of His Resurrection and the foundation on which the Church is built.
  • Keys of the Kingdom
    :
    (n.): Sacred authority given by Jesus to St. Peter to make decisions that would be binding on earth as well as in Heaven (cf. Matt. 16:19).
  • Bishop
    :
    (n.): A successor to the Apostles, who has received the fullness of the Sacrament of Holy Orders. He is the leader of a particular church, or diocese, entrusted to him.
  • Pope
    :
    (n.): The successor of St. Peter as bishop of Rome and Supreme Pontiff of the universal Catholic Church. The pope exercises a primacy of authority as the vicar of Christ on earth and the shepherd of the whole Church.
  • Transfiguration
    :
    (n.): The event described in the three synoptic Gospels when Jesus took Peter, James, and John up a mountain to see Him transformed in radiant divine glory. They also saw the prophets Moses and Elijah and heard the voice of the Father telling them Jesus was His beloved Son and to listen to Him. The Transfiguration is one of the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary.
