King John King John, known for his outrageous temper, his lechery and unstable temperament, is arguably one of, if not the worst king to ever sit on England’s throne. Born on 24th December 1166, he was the 5th child of Henry ∣∣ and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Being the youngest of the 5 children did not guarantee him an inheritance of wealth or property with the result of him being named John Lackland. He was originally destined for a career in the church to which he rebelled, eventually being educated by Ranulf de Glanvill, chief justiciar (English monarchs, 2016). In an attempt to improve his son’s prospects, Henry betrothed John to his wealthy second cousin, Isabella of Gloucester at the age of 9.
• Jesus is an unavoidable and deeply mysterious figure. We do not know as much about Him as we would like to know. This can make it difficult to grasp what Jesus was about. People found him confusing in His own day and the same is true today. • One major reason we have trouble understanding Jesus is that His world is strange and, to many Westerners, foreign.
In those times, almost every single day was reserved to celebrate Christian saints, an important religious idea, or an event in Jesus’ life. Christian celebrations were much more common in those days than they are now. This proves that the church must have been influential because so much time and energy was dedicated to celebrating special Catholic events. A specific example of the Church’s influence is seen on Christmas. At Christmastime, “people of all social classes” came together for a magnificent feast at the manor of their lord.
Saint John Paul II was born on May 18, 1920 in Poland. At an early age, he endeared many loses. His mother died when he was nine, and his brother died when he was twelve. Saint John Paul II went to Krakow's Jagiellonian University in 1938. The university shut down a year later after the Germans invaded Poland.
John Paul II was without doubt a person who strongly contributed to Europe’s History and a role model who altered it for the better. He was the man who transformed not only it’s mentality but left it a better place than he discovered it despite the hard political times. St. John Paul II was a morally guiding idol, a mentor and a symbol of faith which as he showed, has power over everything. What will never cease to amaze me is how he managed to captivate the hearts of so many people from the furthest places of the world. Maybe it was the fact that he was always his same humble and simple self in talking with the poor, orphans and prisoners as with kings, queens, presidents and diplomats.
A characteristic of Saint John Paul II spirituality would be that he was very loving .He followed the example Jesus in everything he did and showed love to everyone. An example of this characteristic would be that after a failed assassination attempt, he forgave Ali Agca (his assailant). He even visited him in jail and requested for the assailant to be pardoned.
Jesus made many accomplishments and amazing feats during his time on earth. One thing Jesus did was he turned water into wine. The story was that Jesus and his mother, Mary, went to a wedding in Cana. Whenever they ran out of wine at the wedding, Jesus filled six stone jars with 20-30 gallons of water in each jar.
John the 23rd was seemingly one of the best most compelling Popes to lead the Catholic church. As being one the main Popes to be brought up to a poor worker family in a rustic zone, and not a royal residence like the majority of the others, he acquired an open point of view toward how the Catholic conviction ought to be seen. His genuine name was once Angelo Guiseppe Roncalli until he transformed into his blessedness. Pope John utilized the See-Judge-Act strategy to educate with respect to social matters. In the Mater et Magistra he pointed out the dispersion of property, wages, the political predominance of poor by the rich and significantly more.
Upon death, upon repentance and resurrection and the building of the character of God within us, we then will be given to eat from the tree of life, given everlasting life as children of God at which point, we will become like Jesus, a child of God. No Angel has this promise, no Angel has been given the title Son of God, a begotten Son born of God as in John 1:12-13 where we, as believes will be children BORN of God. This is a huge difference between created (spirit beings, Angels) and born (flesh and incarnate Man). Angels were created, but that is it, we were created also, however if we believe in Christ, meaning we gain His character, it is not of blood, flesh or the will of man that we will become children of God, but only because we will be born of God, John 1:12-13. We can do this at death, be resurrected, reborn into God’s family, Angels cannot.
In the Gospel of John when John the Baptist is speaking in the Jordan, one thing always sticks out to me. When he sees Jesus walking he says,"Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. " He idolizes Jesus and he wants everyone else to know and see Him too. In today's time we are always obsessing over a knew singer or actor based on the way they look or how they present themselves.
Question:"Consider the figure of Jesus in the Gospel of John, the Gospel of Thomas, or the Infancy Gospel of Thomas. Who or what is Jesus, in the Gospel that you have selected?" When studying the Gospel of John, Jesus is identified as the Son of God because the metaphor of the Lamb is used, Jesus Christ is mentioned instead of Jesus of Nazareth and Jesus acknowledges himself to the world as the Son of God. In the Gospel, the Lamb of God is referenced multiple times and distinguishes a sacrifice is in the mist. The reader consciously knows Jesus is God’s only son, nevertheless making the role of sacrifice an even harder burden to carry.
As Roman Catholics, it is our religious duty to serve others whether those people are a part of our religious community or whether they are from any other type of community. Service is an important aspect of life for not only Catholics but also every single person in the world. By performing various acts of service in our communities, a person’s life can be greatly improved just through a simple act of kindness and love from the person’s heart. Not only can an act of service be beneficial to the person or organization that the volunteer is performing the service for, but it can also be beneficial to the person who is partaking in this act of service for another human being. No matter your age, your background, or your religious affiliation, service is a crucial part of our everyday lives and everyone should get involved in this and do a service out of the good of their hearts.
God: God is known in John by two ways, “the Father who sent” Jesus (5:37), and as “the Father of the Son” (5:17-23). In the gospel of John writing God, does not become the center of focus. The Jewish people already has strong ties and believes in God, however there was some debate whether the Jewish’s people believes that Jesus was the Messiah and or the Son of God. According to C. S. Lewis he made a statement about Jesus and John wholeheartedly agreed with, Lewis wrote “Jesus is lunatic, liar, or Lord”. The Messiah: John speaking about the Messiah is to prove that Jesus is the Messiah, and the Son of God (20:30-31).
In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus is presented as the “Christ, the Messiah” (Mk 1:1 NAB). These are the first words of Mark. However, what does this mean? Through the Gospel, Mark wants to answer this question with several facts. The Gospel is divided in two main sections: first, chapter 1 to 8 shows the human part of Jesus and performing several miracles.
