RS Lesson 10-12
RS Lesson 10-12
3. Do you think that the spiritually poor is humbler than the materially poor?
-No, having less financial wealth does not automatically make one more humble. One's
monetary or spiritual circumstances are not the only factors that influence humility. People from
many walks of life and situations exhibit the personality trait of humility. Though it ultimately
relies on their unique character, values, and decisions, both the spiritually poor and the
financially poor can demonstrate humility. While acknowledging their need for improvement and
seeking guidance, some spiritually impoverished people may show humility, while others may
not. Similarly, although some may lack humility in spite of their circumstances, other people who
are monetarily impoverished may display extraordinary humility by appreciating what they have
and expressing thanks. It is crucial to understand that humility is not reserved for any one
particular group and cannot be generalized on the basis of spiritual or material deprivation.
Instead of forming assumptions about people based on their circumstances, each person should
be recognized and assessed as an individual, taking into consideration their behaviors,
attitudes, and treatment of others. Spiritual poverty has to do with one's inner condition of
emotions, beliefs, and sense of purpose, as opposed to material poverty, which is about not
having enough resources. Both types of poverty have an effect on a person's well-being, thus
dealing with them calls for all-encompassing assistance and comprehension.
4. Is humility important in our quest for Christian morality? Please Explain.
-In our pursuit of Christian virtue, humility is of utmost importance. It serves as a reminder that
we are fallible and in need of God's mercy. It enables us to treat people with kindness, respect,
and empathy while appreciating their value. We can grow as people and learn from our errors
when we are humble. It keeps us rooted and prohibits us from becoming narrow-minded or
condemning. By accepting humility, we conform to Jesus' teachings and develop a Christ-like
attitude of love and service for others.

growth, positive impact, and a brighter future for all.
LESSON 11- Theological and Cardinal Virtues in Relation to Stewardship and Morality
ACTIVITY:
Explain. How do virtuous people differ from vicious people? -People who are virtuous vary from
those who are wicked mostly in character and behavior. Morally upright people display traits like
honesty, integrity, compassion, and humility. They make an effort to act ethically upright and in
others' best interests. Virtuous people are driven by a feeling of obligation, a desire for personal
development, and a dedication to moral standards. Violent people, on the other side, lack these
beneficial attributes and exhibit characteristics like dishonesty, selfishness, brutality, and pride.
They disdain morality and frequently behave in ways that are harmful to other people or
themselves. Vicious people are motivated by self-interest, a lack of empathy, and a disdain for
the welfare of others. In conclusion, virtuous individuals demonstrate good character qualities
and behave morally, whereas vicious people do the opposite and engage in destructive actions.
The distinction may be seen in the principles they defend and the decisions they make in life.

3. In your own idea, what are the reasons on Catholic’s concern on her approaches to
other religions? Cite at least two reasons only.-Catholics are concerned about how other
religions treat them because they understand how crucial it is to advance tolerance,
respect, and peace among all believers. They aim to cultivate a culture of encounter that
permits the exchange of spiritual ideals and the pursuit of shared objectives through
encouraging conversation, developing connections, and fostering contact.
4. How could ecumenism contribute to the unity of all Christians?- By encouraging shared
projects that address social, ethical, and spiritual issues and by providing forums for
discussion, ecumenism helps to bring all Christians closer together. Christians may
demonstrate to the world the transformational power of unity and the shared goal of
sharing the Gospel via ecumenical initiatives.
5. Do all religions, including other Christians outside Catholic Church, cooperate to this
call of the Church?-While collaboration between other religions and Christian
denominations varies, all Christians share responsibility for the call for unity. In order to
promote understanding, advance peace, and strive toward a more peaceful world,
cooperation and conversation across many religious traditions, including those outside of
the Catholic Church, are crucial.
