God is in Authority asking for
pardon and forgiveness
Importance of
Trinity today
Christians believe that the idea of the trinity feeds
into modern day Mission and Evangelisation
IT shows relationship and community. They believe that
they are called to pass this on to the others around them
Mission comes from the word to 'Send out'
The church will send people out to care for
the needs of others in many different ways
They believe that they should love others as
they love God as God loves them
Evangelism means preaching the
Gospel by words and actions. Love
for God is so great they want to
share it
Christians pass the Gospel because they want to
help others experience joy, peace and love of
being a believeer. Done as an expression of love
Trinity in the
Bible
Bible is the word of God.
Inspired by God, written by man
Teachings do not contradict
the words of the Bible
'Trinity' or 'Triune God' not found in
the Bible, only references to the
Father, Son and Holy Spirit
The work of Jesus began
with his Baptism
St Paul when writing to the
Galatians makes constant
references to the relationship
between the Father, Son and
Holy Spirit
Music in the
Liturgy

Also known as Gregorian Chant. It
is an ancient form of music and
has a limited range of notes

and with the divine office nowadays
Latin is the main language in plain chant

that have been used by
generations of bele
They are still used today but
not as much as before
Contemprary
worship songs
After Vatican II the mass was
allowed to be said and
celebrated in the local language
More personal than before
The Plainchant or
traditional Hymns were
the area of choir only.
Since 1960's there has been an
increase in the amount of
religious songs produced
More upbeat
They feed into the emotions of the person more so
than the relationship with God and so have turned
away many of the older generation of people
Mass Settings
These are the parts of the mass which
really should be sung instead of said
They include: ALLeluia,
Eucharistic acclamations' Lord
have mercy, Lamb of God
Baptism
Originated after Jesus told the disciples to
go and 'make disciples of all nations
baptising them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
The symbol is water.
Washing away the old
and starting of the new
It is best seen when a
person if fully immersed
The waters were called the waters of the tomb as going
down in the water is a symbol of joining Christ in the tomb
The believer commits their life to God in the
same way Jesus did by giving up his life to God
Today the sprinkling of water
on the baby's head is symbolic
but has the same meaning
Water is a symbol of the holy spirit and it is the Holy
Spirit who calls a person into faith and who sustains
that same commitment expressed through baptism
Important to all Christians except
the Quakers and Salvation Army
Trinity and the
Magisterium
The power of the Magisterium is passed

The Holy Spirit guides the work of the whole church in truth

decision is accepted as binding for all believers
Official declarations of faith by the
pope are accepted as being infallible
