Exam question 7, answers

Answers from the James final exam:

7. Make a judgement call: Which sacrament is tops for following James' admonition, to be a doer of the Word?

It was an interesting set of answers:

1. Baptism: one student made this his answer.
2. Eucharist: one student made this his answer.
3. Holy Orders: one student made this his answer.
4. Confession: →FIVE students made this their answer.

Each answer is kosher, but this last big answer, confession, is an intriguing answer, and a good answer, especially when considering the Lord's own prayer. Good.

Notes from Matthew 6, the Lord's Prayer

Whilst cleaning out some old boxes, I came across a few note cards with findings concerning the Lord's Prayer, way back when we studied Matthew's gospel together.

1. Sal: Forgive, and this also connects to perfect contrition.
2. German: Jesus' obedience in "thy kingdom come," plus German compared it to the Magnificat.
3. Bill: Forgiving sums up all the other parts of the Lord's Prayer.

Good work.
