Gifts of the Holy Spirit



I chose the dove for wisdom because doves possess wisdom and is a symbol of the gift of wisdom. I chose the light bulb for understanding because when a light bulb is used that usually means that understanding or a revelation has occurred. I used the child looking at the dove for counsel because he is looking to the Holy Spirit for guidance and counsel. I used the child with the armor and fighting against the devil because fortitude is courage and the picture showed strong courage towards following the Lord. I used the child holding the globe for knowledge because to possess knowledge because through the world we can discover God. For piety, I used the person reaching to the dove because piety is to love God as a father, and to obey Him and the picture shows that the person is reaching for his father out of love. For the gift of the fear of the Lord I used the picture of shield that says” Fear of the God” because the shield shows that God protects us from the devil but we must also fear God and dread sin and fear of offending God.

Religion Video #5



Amanda, Michele, and I


1. Who made this video?  How do you know it is trustworthy? 
Father Gary Caster made this video. We know that this video is trustworthy because he teaches about Catholicism at Williams College.

2.  What did this video teach you about the Sacrament that you didn't already know? (If 
you already learned it in another video then you can't use it.) 
Water= Life and the desire to be alive shows how the symbol of water has such a strong meaning of Baptism. Water is the sign of cleansing and life. Waters are continuously shown throughout the Old Testament as a renewal tool and cleansing symbol.

3. Was this video also entertaining or was it boring? How could it be more appealing? 
Explain 
The video was entertaining because he takes a different view at the Baptism by showing the symbolize of the water and its significance to the actual Baptism. He connects Baptism with the Bible.

Baptism Video # 2



Michelle, Amanda, and Colby


1. Who made this video?  How do you know it is trustworthy? 
Monisgnor John Zenz, of the archdiocese of Detroit.He is a trustworthy source because he has a part in the Catholic clergy and has the ability to to Baptize people.
2. What did this video teach you about the Sacrament that you didn't already know? (If 
you already learned it in another video then you can't use it.) 

I learned at it does not matter if you are a child or adult, either way you can be baptized.

3. Was this video also entertaining or was it boring? How could it be more appealing? 
Explain 
I thought this video was boring because the clergyman makes Baptism the same as it is always shown. It would have been more appealing if it was a song for Baptism and he was more excited about the subject.
