Grade 7 - Archdiocesan Review
Gospel Formation and Writers –
Gospel authors were inspired by the Holy Spirit
Gospel writers used various literary forms, including narratives, parables, and poetry.
There are three stages of tradition by which the life and teaching of Jesus have come down to us:
The Life of Jesus – from his birth to his death and resurrection and ascension.
The Oral Tradition – The time period in which the first disciples, under the guidance of the
Holy Spirit, gave oral witness to the life and message of Jesus.
The Writing of the Gospels – The early times in the Christian community when the
evangelists (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) put the preaching into writing.
Jesus is fully human and fully divine.
The Gospel of Matthew
In Matthew’s gospel, Jesus is proclaimed as the fulfillment of all the promises of the Old
Testament.
Jesus is portrayed as the new Moses.
Matthew’s gospel is sometimes called the “gospel of the Church.”
The Gospel of Mark
Mark’s gospel is full of action.
His gospel emphasizes the many miracles of Jesus.
Mark’s gospel is a proclamation of “good news.”
Mark’s story of the blind man, in which Jesus confronts the evil of human suffering.
The Gospel of Luke
Luke portrays Jesus as our savior.
Luke’s gospel is called the “gospel of mercy” or the “gospel of great pardons.”
They are also referred to as the “gospels of the poor.” Luke’s account of Jesus’ birth shows that
the poor are given the greatest privileges.
Luke’s gospel is also called the “gospel of prayer and the Holy Spirit.”
The parable of the rich man and Lazarus is found in Luke.
The Gospel of John
Jesus as our savior.
Prayer
There are three ways of praying:
Vocal prayer – a prayer we pray aloud, often with others. The rosary, prayers during the Liturgy of the Hours,
and the Mass are examples of vocal prayer.
Meditation – involves thought, imagination, emotion and desire. It usually begins with a scripture or spiritual
book. We meditate or reflect over the reading.
Contemplation – is a wordless prayer with an awareness of God’s presence.
There are 5 types of prayer:
Blessing – to dedicate something or someone to God. We can pray for God’s blessings on people and things.
Petition – a prayer in which we ask something of God. Asking for forgiveness is an example of petition.
Intercession – a prayer in which we ask God for something on behalf of another person.
Thanksgiving – prayers that show our gratitude to God for all he has given us.
Praise – prayers of praise give glory to God. These prayers do not involve our needs or our gratitude.
The Liturgy of the Hours is the prayer of the entire Church made up of psalms and other readings from
Scripture.
The remaining consecrated hosts after the celebration of the Mass, are placed or reserved in the tabernacle.
Catholics can take part in an Exposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament. In this ceremony, the Most Blessed
Sacrament (the host) is placed in a special holder called a monstrance and presented for all to see.
Benediction is when the community gathers to pray and to worship Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
Jesus and the Gospel Message – Journeying as a Disciple of Jesus
The gospels reveal Jesus as the Savior and Risen Lord who calls us to advance the kingdom of God through discipleship.
Divine Revelation –
The Old and New Testament contain God’s self-revelation. Jesus is the fullness of that revelation.




God reveals himself in scripture and invites us into a relationship of faith and love with him.
The Old Testament tells of God’s teachings and saving actions before the coming of Jesus.
The history of the Hebrew people reveals God in a special way.
The New Testament tells of Jesus’ teachings and saving actions, and the work of the Spirit in the
Church. These represent the fulfillment of the promises of the Old Testament.
 Jesus is the fullness of God’s self-revelation to us.
Divine Inspiration –
Both God and human writers are truly the authors of Sacred Scripture (the Bible).




The Holy Spirit enlightened or inspired the minds of the human authors of Scripture. This work of God
is called “Divine Inspiration.”
The Bible provides us with religious truth about God, the world, and our relationship with God and one
another. This truth is free from error.
Understanding the different literary forms and historical contexts in which the Sacred Scriptures were
written helps us to grasp the truths they contain.
Tradition and Scripture help us to understand what the Scriptures have to say to us today.
Gospel Formation –
The entire process of gospel formation was inspired by the Holy Spirit.
 There are three stages of tradition by which the life and teachings of Jesus have come to us:
1. The Life of Jesus – from his birth to his death and resurrection and ascension.
2. The Oral Tradition – The time when the first disciples, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, gave
verbal witness to Jesus’ life and messages.
3. The Writing of the Gospels – The time in the early Christian community when the evangelists
(Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) put these verbal teachings into writing.
 These gospels, according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, are the foundation of our faith.
 Our understanding is enriched by the scripture scholars who have worked to discover how what was
once said is now written into the gospels.
Literary Aspects of the Gospels –
Many factors influenced the style of the different gospels.


The written style of each gospel is different based on the experience of that particular author.
The authors developed the themes for their writing based on historical details, stories, and sayings from
Jesus’ life. To interpret scripture correctly, we must focus on what the authors wanted to say.
 Each gospel is influenced by the needs of the community to which it was addressed.
 To convey their messages, gospel authors used various literary forms:
1. Narratives – used by Luke and Mark
2. Parables – used by Mark
3. Passages from the Old Testament presented in a new context – Luke and John
 Synoptic Gospels are gospels by Matthew, Mark, and Luke, written from the same viewpoint.
Introduction to Jesus –
 In the gospels we meet the living Jesus. Jesus is fully human and full divine. Not 50% of each.
 We are called to be Jesus’ disciples, and we offer him a personal, loving response.
 We meet Jesus, the Risen Lord, ever present in the Church, through the gospels.
 The incarnation is Jesus becoming man.
 Jesus is fully human, experiencing joy, sorrow, misunderstanding, rejection, hunger, thirst, and fatigue
just as we do.
 Jesus was Jewish and born of Mary in Palestine in the first century. Joseph was his foster father.
 Growing up in Nazareth as a human being, he developed naturally from childhood into adulthood. He
matured physically and spiritually in age, wisdom, and grace.
 Jesus is fully divine. Jesus, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, was always God.
 In his words and actions, he revealed God the Father and his love for us.
 Jesus is God present in our midst.
Introduction to Each of the Gospels –
Each of the gospels is different in the way it helps us to grow in our understanding of the mystery of Jesus.
Several different and distinct features of each gospel follow:
 The Gospel of Matthew
 Jesus is proclaimed as the fulfillment of all the promises of the Old Testament concerning the Messiah.
 Jesus is portrayed as the new Moses, bringing a new commandment to Israel.
 Matthew’s gospel gives an account of the teachings of Jesus. They are everything combined from the
Old Testament law and the messages from the prophets.
 Matthew’s gospels are sometimes called the “gospel of the Church,” because the community of the
disciples is presented in the kingdom of God.



The Gospel of Mark
Mark’s gospel is full of action. He emphasizes the many miracles of Jesus. He shows Jesus as full of
power to heal and cast out demons.
Mark’s gospel proclaims the “good news” which is Jesus himself.
Jesus is presented as a mystery, and his disciples can only understand him gradually. Only when they,
and we, travel the journey with Jesus, do we come to know who he is.
The Gospel of Luke
Luke’s gospel portrays Jesus as our savior.
Through Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection we overcome evil and sin, and its effects of suffering and
death. Jesus saves us from all evil, especially refusing God’s love.
Luke’s gospel is also called “gospel of mercy” and “gospel of great pardons” because Jesus shows
compassion and forgiveness. The parable of the Prodigal Son and the Good Samaritan are from Luke.
Also called “gospel of the poor,” Luke’s gospel shows Jesus’ love for the poor and outcasts. Luke’s
account of the birth of Jesus, and his account of the Beatitudes, shows that the poor are given the greatest
privileges. “Blessed are the poor…” The parable of the rich man and Lazarus was written by Luke.
Luke’s gospel is full of joy and wonder, as he notes the admiration and joy of the crowds who meet
Jesus. The canticles (songs) of Mary, Zechariah, and Simeon are all found in Luke.
Luke’s gospel is also called the “gospel of prayer and the Holy Spirit” because Luke shows Jesus at
prayer at every important part of Jesus’ life.
The Gospel of John
John’s gospel is the most symbolic of all the gospels. John does not use parables or simple instruction.
He uses longer passages that include symbolism. He describes Jesus as: “I am the bread…the light…the
shepherd…the resurrection…the way…the vine.
John’s gospel points to the “sacramental life of the Church.” Water turned into wine at Cana, the lifegiving water from Christ, and the bread that is his flesh.
In John’s gospel, many passages about Jesus come about as a dialogue between Jesus and someone else.
Usually someone will ask a question of Jesus, and Jesus states a profound truth, making him respond
more deeply to this person.
John’s gospel proclaims Jesus as the incarnate Word of God, who existed from all eternity.
Grade 7 Archdiocesan Review Notes
Introduction to the Sacraments –
The mystery of Christ continues in the Church through the sacraments which are visible signs of the love and
saving action of Jesus.

The sacraments are signs by which Jesus, through the Holy Spirit and the Church, continues to show
God’s love. Each sacrament gives us grace.
 The Sacraments of Initiation are: Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist
 The Sacraments of Healing are: Penance and Anointing of the Sick
 The Sacraments of Service of Communion are: Matrimony and Holy Orders
Baptism – is the foundation of the whole Christian life, which enables us to receive all the other
sacraments, which deepen God’s life within us.
 Jesus gave the apostles the mission to baptize.
 Baptism is the sacrament of faith that is necessary for salvation.
 In the early Church, those preparing for the sacrament were called catechumens. They spent a long
period of time learning the Christian way of living.
 These rites of becoming a Christian culminated at the Easter Vigil, when the catechumens received
Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist.
 Once bishops baptized the infant, they would be confirmed at a later date.
 Today, adults and older children preparing for Baptism follow a process called the Rite of Christian
Initiation of Adults (RCIA).
 Evangelization - Pre-Catechumenate is the time when those interested in the Catholic faith meet the
members of the Parish community
 When that person definitely decides to become catechumens, they are marked by the sign of the cross.
 The Catechumenate process begins. The candidate embrace Catholic teachings, take part in the liturgy,
and become active members of the community.
 They become Elect. A period of time when the candidate signs a book showing their commitment.
 During the 3rd, 4th, and 5th weeks of Lent, the Elect examine their lives. These examinations are called
Scrutinies.
 At the Easter Vigil, the Elect receives the 3 Sacraments of Initiation.
 In the case of infant Baptism, a simple process is followed:
1. Parents and godparents prepare for Baptism by reflecting on the sacrament.
2. The sign of the cross is traced on the baby’s forehead.
3. A prayer of deliverance from evil(exorcism) is prayed for them.
 After Baptism, parents and godparents strive to support the child in faith and development.
 Godparents make the profession of faith.
 The heart of the celebration involves the immersing in or the pouring of water, with the words, I baptize
you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
 A priest, deacon, or bishop ministers the sacrament of Baptism, but in an emergency, anyone may
baptize.
 The infant is anointed with chrism to signify the Holy Spirit, and the infant is brought to the altar for the
praying of the Lord’s Prayer.
 Two Explanatory Rites follow: Being clothed in a white garment, and receiving a lighted candle.
 The two principal effects of Baptism are the purification from sin, and new birth in the Holy Spirit.
 We are freed from Original Sin, the sin we inherit from our first parents, Adam and Eve.
 Through Baptism, we receive sanctifying grace, we become members of the Church, and we become
part of the priesthood of all believers.
 Baptism is received only once, because it changes our soul permanently.
Confirmation – is one of the 3 sacraments of Initiation along with Baptism and Eucharist.
Confirmation
completes baptismal grace and we receive the Holy Spirit in a special way..
 In the early Church, the apostles laid hands on those who were baptized.
 The anointing with sacred chrism and laying of the hands symbolizes the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Today:
 Confirmation leads the candidate to a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
 Confirmation is God’s gift. It is not earned.
 The bishop is the usual minister of Confirmation, however a priest may confirm when adults or older
children are baptized into the Church, when special permission is given, in the Eastern Catholic
Churches, and when a Christian is in danger of death.
 The bishop extends his hands over those to be confirmed and prays that the Holy Spirit descend on
them.
 He lays his hands on the candidate’s head, anointing them with chrism as he says, “Be sealed with the
gift of the Holy Spirit.”
 The sign of peace with the bishop concludes the rite.
 The sacrament takes place during the Eucharist liturgy (Mass) and begins with a renewal of our
baptismal promises.
 Confirmation deepens our baptismal grace and permanently marks our soul.
 Confirmation increases in us the gifts of the Holy Spirit: wisdom, understanding, counsel,
fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord.
 The outward signs of the Spirit at work in us are: charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, modesty, self-control, and chastity. St. Paul called these the fruits of the Spirit.
Eucharist – completes Christian initiation.
It is the sacrament in which the Lord is present under the
appearance of bread and wine.
 Jesus instituted the Eucharist on the night before he died, at the Last Supper.
 The Eucharist is the source of Christian life.
 We continue the presence under the appearance of bread and wine which are consecrated by the priest.
 The Blessed Sacrament is reserved (or stored) in the tabernacle.
 The Eucharist is truly the Body and Blood of Christ present in our lives.
HISTORY
 The Eucharist prayer can be traced back to the prayers said at every Jewish meal.
 After Jesus’ death, the early Christians met at each other homes to celebrate this shared meal.
 Rather than give up the celebration of the Eucharist, early Christians faced martyrdom.
 The priest or bishop is the presider at the Eucharist.
 The Eucharist is a single celebration with 2 parts: the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the
Eucharist. In the Liturgy of the Word, scripture is read from the Old and New Testament. In the
Liturgy of the Eucharist, bread and wine are presented, consecrated and communion is shared.
 The prayer of Thanksgiving and consecration is called the Eucharistic Prayer. This prayer asks the
Father to send the Holy Spirit on the bread and wine and remembers Jesus’ Last Supper.
 In communion, the faithful receive the Body and Blood of Christ who gave himself “for the life of the
world.”
 Sunday is the day on which the faithful celebrate the Eucharist. Every Sunday we celebrate the Paschal
Mystery – the death and resurrection of Jesus. On Saturday evening we begin the vigil for Sunday.
 Eucharistic Communion unites the Church as one with Christ and one another, commits us to the poor,
cleanses and preserves us from sin, and fills us with hope of eternal life.
 Catholics must worship at Mass every Sunday and Holy Day. Catholics must receive Communion once
a year during Easter time. We must also receive the Sacrament of Penance to be in the state of grace.
Penance – is the forgiveness of sins.
Jesus gave the power to forgive sins to the apostles. Penance is that
sacrament of healing by which we receive God’s merciful forgiveness for our personal sins, and we are
reconciled with God. Every time we receive Penance, we receive the grace to live more faithfully.
 Baptism was the first sacrament for the forgiveness of sins.
 For those who sinned and were already baptized, Penance gave them the opportunity to return to their
baptismal covenant, fully restoring their relationship with God.
 In early times, Penance was seldom offered, sometimes only once a year. They confessed to a priest or
bishop and had to do strenuous acts of repentance. During the 7th century, Irish missionaries
introduced “private penance.”
 Penitents confessed their sins, were given absolution, and performed penance.
 The present Rite of Penance, revised under the Second Vatican Council, retains the order of confession,
absolution, and penance.
 We prepare to celebrate Penance by calling to mind our sins in an examination of conscience.
 A priest or bishop is the minister of the sacrament of Penance.
 Every Catholic guilty of mortal sin must receive the sacrament of Penance before receiving Holy
Communion.
 In Penance our sins are forgiven and we renew our relationship with God and the Church.
 Forms of Penance include: fasting, praying, almsgiving, works of mercy, justice, examination of
conscience, worship and devotion, accepting suffering in imitation of Christ.
Anointing of the Sick – is the sacrament in which the priest anoints with oil the seriously ill or the
aged, so that through the power of Jesus they may be comforted and restored to health in spirit, and sometimes
also in body.
 The sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is a sign of Christ’s compassion.
 Just as in the Gospels where we see Jesus curing those who are ill, the early Church continued the
practice, calling the presbyters (priests) to pray over and anoint those who are sick.
 In later centuries, this sacrament was known as “extreme unction” or last rites.
 The Second Vatican Council reaffirmed that this sacrament is not just for those who are at the point of
death, but to include those who are sick or aged.
 It is desirable that the person receiving this sacrament be conscious in order to participate.
 The minister of the sacrament is a priest or bishop.
 The essential sign of the Anointing are: the laying of the hands, the prayer, and the anointing with oil on
the person’s forehead and hands with the sign of the cross.
 The whole Church is called upon to lighten the person’s suffering and save them from their sins.
 This sacrament can be administered anywhere, and usually is accompanied with the Eucharist.
 Through this sacrament, the person receives grace through the Holy Spirit.
 When a person nears death, the Eucharist given is called “viaticum,” which means food for the journey.
Christ accompanies that person on their final journey.
 As members of the Christian community, we have a responsibility to pray for the sick and the aged, to
care for them, and to see that they receive this sacrament whenever they need it.
Matrimony – is the sacrament by which a baptized man and a baptized woman freely enter into a
permanent loving, and life-giving covenant of fidelity with each other.
 This mutual love of man and woman, rooted in creation, is very good in the Creator’s eyes.
 Jesus taught us that the bond of marriage is unbreakable – it is an “indissolubility” love. It means that
the marriage bond lasts until the death of either the husband or wife.
 Saint Paul compares marriage of a couple to Christ and the Church.
 Over the centuries, the Church grew in its understanding of the sacredness of Marriage.
 The Second Vatican Council has emphasized that the covenant of marriage includes all the elements of a
contract and the loving relationship between the 2 parties involved.
 Both the Church and the state sanction marriage.
 The civil authority or the State may grant a civil divorce. This civil divorce does not break the bond of
the sacrament of Marriage.
 The Church can declare certain marriage contracts null and void. The official statement by which
declares a marriage null and void is called an “annulment.” This “Declaration of Nullity” indicates
that, in fact, there never was a sacramental Marriage.
 The man and woman themselves are the ministers of the sacrament of Marriage. The official witness
of the Church is the priest or a deacon. Two other witnesses are required. That is usually the Maid or
Matron of Honor and the Best Man.
 The man and woman receive graces necessary to help them in all aspects of their married life, including
raising their children as Christians.
 Marriage is another sacrament that gives witness to the faithful love of God by giving witness to each
other, to their children and to the community.
 Husband and wife strive to create a home which reflects God’s love for us. For this reason the family
has been called “the domestic Church.”
Holy Orders – is the sacrament through which the mission entrusted by Christ to his apostles continues in
the Church until the end of time. This is how Christ continues to shepherd his people.
 In the tradition of Jesus, the Church confers Holy Orders only upon men.
 Holy Orders today constitutes the following: the episcopate (bishops), the presbyterate (priests), and the
diaconate (deacons).
 Bishops receive the fullness of Holy Orders.
 Each bishop who has a responsibility for a diocese serves as Christ’s vicar in that diocese.
 Each bishop had a relationship with other bishops (collegiality), and to the Pope.





Priests are co-workers with the bishop in carrying out the apostolic mission entrusted to them by Christ.
Priests represent the bishop and depend on him.
Priests are consecrated to preach the Gospel, shepherd the faithful, and celebrate the worship of God.
At the Eucharist, priests exercise their sacred office to the highest degree.
All priests are part of one brotherhood and united with one another within a diocese.


Deacons are ordained to help serve bishops, priests and the faithful.
Deacons, like Christ, make themselves servants to all. Deacons assist the bishops and priests in the
liturgy, in ministries of the Word, in pastoral governance, and in various ministries.
A transitional deacon is a deacon who is preparing to be ordained a priest. A man, single or married may
be ordained as permanent deacons.
In the days after Jesus’ death, the apostles continued his work. Saint Peter was chosen to by Christ to
guide the Universal Church.
The pope, the bishop of Rome, is the successor of Saint Peter and, therefore, the leader of the entire
Catholic Church.
A bishop is the minister of the sacrament of Holy Orders.
The ordination takes place on Sunday, in the Cathedral, with the Eucharist, with the community present.
The essential signs of Holy Orders are the laying on of the hands and the prayer of consecration.
There is a special prayer of consecration for each of the orders, diaconate, presbyterate, and episcopate.
Holy Orders imprints a permanent character or mark on the soul of the person receiving it. This man
makes a lifetime commitment to serve the community according to the particular responsibilities of his
order as bishop, priest or deacon.
Those ordained to the priesthood live a life of celibacy for the sake of the kingdom.
All deacons and priests make a solemn promise of obedience to the bishop of the diocese.
Those men who receive Holy Orders are committed to a life of prayer, which includes the daily praying
of the Liturgy of the Hours.
These men are committed to a life of service to the Church.

4 Marks of the Church
one – One because all the Church members believe in the one true Lord, Jesus Christ and we all share the same
Baptism. One Lord, one faith, and one Spirit.
holy – God alone is good and holy. Christ shares his holiness with us today through the Church.
catholic – Catholic means universal – worldwide and open to all people everywhere. The Church has been
universal since the beginning. The Church is made up of people from all over the world. They have different
ways of speaking and dressing, yet are all united in faith.
apostolic – Apostolic refers to being built on the faith of the apostles. Jesus chose the apostles to lead the faith
when he ascended. The Church is apostolic today because the life and leadership of the Church is based on that
of the apostles.
