Lesson Vocabulary

Apostle: An Apostle is one who is sent. Jesus called twelve men to be His Apostles.
Disciple: A disciple is a student or follower. Jesus had many disciples.
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.
Cornerstone: A cornerstone is a large, strong stone placed at the bottom corners of a building to make it stable. Jesus is called “the cornerstone” because He is the foundation of our entire Catholic Faith.
Shepherd: One who tends and feeds a flock of sheep. Jesus is called the “Good Shepherd” because Jesus loves us, cares for us, and leads us just as a shepherd cares for and leads His flock.
