  • Abba
    :
    Abba is the Hebrew word for Father. Jesus taught us to call God “Abba, Father” when we pray.
  • Anoint
    :
    To rub or mark with oil. Holy oil is spread on our foreheads in Baptism and Confirmation, and again in the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick. New Priests are also anointed with Holy oil in the Sacrament of Holy Orders.
  • Confirmation
    :
    The Sacrament of Confirmation is the Sacrament in which the gift of the Holy Spirit received at Baptism is confirmed, strengthened, and perfected in us. Confirmation helps us live the Christian life courageously and spread the faith to others.
  • Holy Spirit
    :
    The third Person of the Holy Trinity. He proceeds from the Father and the Son and is worshipped and glorified as fully God. The Holy Spirit fills us with His gifts and guides us to holiness in the Church. (261, 267, 747)
  • Messiah
    :
    The Hebrew word for “anointed one.” All of the kings descended from David were anointed as a sign of their kingship. This made all of the kings in the line of David “messiahs.” God promised the Chosen People that He would send the Messiah to free them from sin. Jesus is the Son of David and God’s promised Messiah and Savior. (453)
  • Pentecost
    :
    The day when Jesus sent the Holy Spirit upon Mary and the Apostles and the Church was born. Fifty days after Jesus’ Resurrection (10 days after His Ascension into Heaven), Mary and the Apostles gathered in the upper room and were filled with the Holy Spirit, who came in a rush of wind and appeared as tongues of fire over their heads.
