Memory for the Week of
4/26-4/30
This week we will be continuing to work on Confession and the Office of the Keys. All memory will be fill-in-the-blank.
Tuesday, 4/27 (Confession continued…)
Consider your place in life according to the Ten Commandments: Are you a father, mother, son, daughter, husband, wife, or worker? Have you been disobedient, unfaithful, or lazy?
Wednesday, 4/28 (Confession continued…)
Have you been hot-tempered, rude, or quarrelsome? Have you hurt someone by your words or deeds? Have you stolen, been negligent, wasted anything, or done any harm?
Thursday, 4/29 (The Office of the Keys)
What is the Office of the Keys? The Office of the Keys is that special authority which Christ has given to His church on earth to forgive the sins of repentant sinners, but to withhold forgiveness from the unrepentant as long as they do not repent.
Friday, 4/30 (The Office of the Keys continued…)
Where is this written? This is what St. John the Evangelist writes in chapter twenty: The Lord Jesus breathed on His disciples and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
