Answers to Lesson 3 1.) Church is a mystery because its nature can never be grasped by the power of reason alone. It is a mystery because her salvific richness cannot be exhausted, that there is always more to learn. A reality we can never fully grasp and understand due to the limitation of our human intelligence. The human and the divine nature go together. They should be balanced and complement each other.

2.)

3.)

Yes, because the Church will always be the temple of God. His picture of everlasting love to us. I think its still the love of God in His people even the people had betrayed Him. For humans cannot see the goodness and the sacrifices of our Lord God to us. His everlasting love that no one can ever surpass. For He is the perfect meaning of greatness and love. Answers to Lesson 4

4.)

1.) I think the church wants us to do good things that Jesus has exemplified. We should be aware of what is happening around us, and we should do what is right for us. 2.) It aims to be pure and to do good to prevent and avoid what is wrong in our civilization.

3.) I think all models are seen in my parish, because as we can see all church was made for Jesus, for He is the good of all His church. Our parish helps those in need and I think serving them with all their hearts is one of the best values we could ever define. And is also a good example for the youth, for them to be good models to others.
