Lesson Vocabulary

  • Church
    :
    The community of disciples founded by Jesus that will exist until the end of time. The Church is at the same time human and divine. It is the gathering of God’s people, whom He calls, on earth and it is the mystical Body of Christ. The Church is also the Temple of the Holy Spirit, who gives life to the Body of Christ and unites its members.
  • Ecclesia
    :
    Latin word used to describe “the Church.” From the Greek word ekklesia which means “to call out of.” This word was used in the Greek translation of Old Testament to describe the People of God, whom He had called out of the human race and gathered to Himself. The earliest Christians used the word to describe themselves because they understood that they were the assembly of people called together by God.
  • sacrament
    :
    A sign of God’s grace that gives the grace that it signifies. Jesus founded seven Sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Eucharist, Penance and Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Holy Matrimony.
