THY4 Unit 1 Lesson 3 Feb 2020
This is the truth the body and blood of Emmanuel, our God, I Believe,
I believe, I believe, and with my last breath will proclaim that this is
The living flesh which your only-begotten-son, our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ, took from our Lady Mary, the holy mother of God, and
United with the Godhead. After bearing witness to the truth before
Pontius Pilate, he gave up his body, of his own free will, to die on
The cross for us; gave it for our salvation, to bring forgiveness of sins
And everlasting life to those who partake of it. I believe that this is
very truth. Amen.
St Francis of Assisi …………… Pray for us……….
THEOLOGY 4:
NAME (Instructor)
Individualism
• We see this in the crisis of family and social ties and the
difficulties of recognizing the other.
• Parents can be prone to impulsive and wasteful
consumption, which then affects their children
who find it increasingly difficult to acquire a home
of their own and build a family.

b. The Effects and Consequences of Individualism: A
World Being Torn Apart
• (EG 99) Our world is being torn apart by wars and violence,
and wounded by a widespread individualism which divides
human beings, setting them against one another as they
pursue their own well-being.
• In various countries, conflicts and old divisions from the
past are re-emerging.
• I especially ask Christians in communities throughout the
world to offer a radiant and attractive witness of fraternal
communion.
• Let everyone admire how you care for one another, and how
you encourage and accompany one another: “By this
everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have
love for one another” (Jn 13:35).
• This was Jesus’ heartfelt prayer to the Father: “That they may
all be one... in us... so that the world may believe” (Jn 17:21).
• In various countries, conflicts and old divisions from the past are
re-emerging.

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
Patron of the Poor
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace
Where there is hatred, let me show love
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And when there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not seek
To be console as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
In pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
