Assessment Task 1 - Part A
Mysterion
In less than 100 words, define the term by drawing on the relevant passages in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC).
The word mysterion comes from the latin mysterium and sacramentum.
It is the way in which Christ is a sign of the hidden reality of salvation, as Christ is in essence, salvation. Mysterion is all of God’s saving work, it is everything we need for salvation.
The seven sacraments as shared with us by Jesus Christ are necessary for reaching salvation. The source and summit of Christian Salvation was the Paschal Mystery, which was made permanent in the Eucharist. It is the greatest source of God’s grace, in which we achieve unity with Christ, which is necessary for salvation. (CCC 774)
In less than 100 words, explain the term using words and concepts appropriate to a ten year old child. (If possible, test the quality of your explanation by trying it out on a child of this age.)
Mysterion means that the seven sacraments we get when we go to Church on special occasions, like for Baptism, the Eucharist(holy communion) , penance(reconciliation), confirmation, holy orders(becoming a priest), marriage and the anointing of the sick, are called the Mysteries of God. Especially through the Eucharist as we are becoming closer to God and Jesus. Jesus taught us how to celebrate these mysteries. By showing us these sacraments, he gave us the chance to be saved for when we go to Heaven.

As Christians we often believe certain things simply because it’s what our parents and the people around us believe. We often go about our Christian walk without ever giving thought or reason to why we believe what we do. The world of Christian Theology is a place where Christians can find answer to the ‘what and why’ of Christianity. If we are able to begin comprehending Christian Theology and the rudimental knowledge of it, then we can take it with us into more in depth books and discussions about theology, know the importance of it and how vital it is for Christians
The Social Model of disability came about through the disability movement and other organisation campaigning for equal rights, opportunities and choices for disabled people. The social model of disability recognises that any problem of disability are created by society and its institution and that The Discrimination Acts are tools to help to improve the response of society to disability, also a wheel chair user is not hampered by their disability but by lack of adequate access to buildings. The social model may impact upon our practise as we would provide inclusive environments as a starting point for all children. The Scope website stated ‘The social model of disability says that disability is caused by the way

For my critical thinking assignment I was asked, what privileges do I have, that I don’t give much thought to. I have many privileges I don’t give much thought to, such as having a home with comfortable furnishings, having food to eat and never going hungry. I also have a car that gets me to and from places I need to be. I always have clean clothes that are weather appropriate. It’s a privilege of mine to walk, see, hear, and speak; also to have the freedom to be who I want to be. A privilege that is so meaningful, that I often take for granted is spending time with my family and friends. Another privilege I take for granted is being able to attend a diverse college and be able to have relationships with people of
1. Ernestine Friedl says that the position of women is higher the more they are involved in (l) primary subsistence (as owners or controllers, NOT merely as laborers) and (2) the PUBLIC distribution of the product of subsistence. Use this argument to account for the position of women in Kung society. Make sure you use both part (l) and part (2) of Friedl’s argument. (Don’t worry that Friedl’s argument is simplistic; she is not trying to say that women’s role in subsistence is the ONLY factor that affects their position in society.)
* Key terms should be defined and all work properly referenced using APA referencing style.
Secondly, I did not know that the Catholics had seven sacraments. According to James White (2000) “Lombard summarizes earlier teaching
Businesses today face a plethora of ethical duties such as upholding corporate governance, maintaining stakeholder relationships, and presenting an image of social responsibility. In review of Company Q’s (Q) current ethics culture, its image in regards to social responsibility is not equivalent to that of its competitors. In a growing market faced with increasingly challenging competition, there are several areas that Q can and needs to address to bring the company to a level of social responsibility that exceeds stakeholder expectations. First, attention Q needs to address market demands for additional locations to better

John Wesley wrote in his Sermon 16 that the means of grace are understood as “outward signs, words, or actions ordained by God… to be the ordinary channels whereby (God) might convey to men preventing, justifying, or sanctifying grace.” Means are what happen outside of oneself and the grace is what does the work inside of ourselves or another way to say this is to say the ways we receive and experience grace. When we speak of the sacraments we refer to them as outward signs of an inward and spiritual grace. The means of grace in the sacraments, means are the bread and cup of communion and the water of the baptism and the liturgy spoken. These act in an outward and physical way, but the real work is that of the invisible grace we receive.
In order to explain what it means to confess that God is triune, Migliore explains the origin of
Christians have been celebrating the Lord’s Supper for almost two thousand years. In this paper I will refer to the Lord’s Supper as an ordinance of the church. “An ordinance is an outward rite prescribed by Christ to be performed by His Church.” There are quite a few varying interpretations among the different churches on how the Lord’s Supper is to be practiced. I Corinthians 11:23-34 provides Christians with the scriptural meaning and reasons for observing the Lord’s Supper, also known as communion. Many consider the Lord’s Supper of little or no value and some consider the ordinance as more of a ritual. In some modern churches, preaching the Word is emphasized the most and communion is only observed once a month or
When considering the topic of Mystagogy and the Church’s understanding of the subject it is important to recognize the complete picture, the scope of what is covered. Looking quite literally at Mystagogy, and perhaps a common view held by most, it is very simply the final of four stages in the RCIA process of bringing believers into the Church. However, the context of this paper will focus at a more in depth look at the nature of Mystagogy and its essential relationship to the liturgical life of the Church. In doing this I will also show the relationship between Mystagogy and exegesis, the sacraments as mysteries and the vital place of narrationes in Mystagogy. Before an attempt to delve
