QuestionsandAnswers

ContemplatingDivineEssence, TheFatherBegetsTheWord

WhyisJesusChrist,the SecondPersonoftheTrinity,calledtheIncarnate 'Word?

ItwasSt.Johnwhofirst referredtoOurLordasthe Word.Intheprologueto hisGospelJohnsays:"In thebeginningwasthe Word,andtheWordwas withGod,andtheWord wasGod"(i,1),andSt. JohnalsoreferstoChrist astheIncarnateWord whenhesays:"Andthe Wordwasmadefleshand dweltamongus,andwesaw HisgloryastheonlybegottenoftheFather"(i. :4).

Whyistheterm"IncarpateWord"used?

Theologianssaythatthe termisusedtoshowtherelationshipoftheFatherand theSonintheHolyTrinity. Takingthedivinerevelation,theyhavebeenable, withtheuseofreason,to throwsomelightonthe mysteriousgenerationof theSonbytheFatherin theTrinity,fortheyseein ThetermWordaremarkableanalogytothemanner inwhichmanformsamentalidea,orword.Aman, forexample,seesarocking chair.Avisualimage,or phantasm,ofthatchairis formedinhisimagination.

WhoistheThirdPerson oftheTrinity?

TheThirdPersonofthe TrinityistheHolySpirit. Thisfactweknowbydivinerevelation,whichalso tellsusthatbesidetheprocessionoftheWord,the SecondPersonoftheTrin-

thereisanotherprocessionwithinthedivineessence,theprocessionofthe HolySpirit.OurLordsaid: "ButwhentheParaclete cometh,whomIwillsend youfromtheFather,the SpiritofTruth,whoproceedsfromtheFather,He shallgivetestimonyofMe" (Johnxv,26).

"Anindulgenceof10 yearsforeachStationif forsomereasonablecause theyareunabletocomplete theentireWayofthe Cross"(Raccolta,n.164).

Ascanbereadilyseen, theWayoftheCrossis oneofthemostrichlyindulgencedofallthepious workssanctionedbythe Church.Amongtheconditionsrequiredforgaining theStationindulgences,the firstisabriefmeditation ateachStationonthesufferingsoftheSaviour.This prayerneednotbeoral,nor ,Tieeditbecentredonthe subjecteachscenedepicts inthevariousStations.A piousremembranceofthe Lord'sPassion,madewith contritionforsin,suffices fortheordinaryperson.If onemakestheStationsprivately,hesliouldgofrom onetotheother;butifa priestleadstheStations,as atLentenFridayservices, ...thefaithfulmaygainthe indulgencesthoughthey remainintheirseatswhile thepriestandacolytesproceedaroundthechurch.The visitingofthevariousStationsmustbeuninterrupted, butashortinterruption doesnotbreaktheconnection.Areligiousreason, suchasassistingatMass, permitsevenalongerbreak.

PilateDemanded

Whatdotheletters "INRI,"placedtowardthe topofacrucifix,represent?

ThelettersINRIona crucifixrepresent"Jesus NazarenusRexJudaeorum," which,translated,means "JesusofNazareth,Kingof theJews."Thecustomof affixingtheseletterstothe Lord'scrossisbasedonSt. John'sGospelnarrationof theCrucifixion,xix,19: "AndPilatealsowrotean inscriptionandhaditput onthecross.Andtherewas written,'JesusofNazareth, theKingoftheJews.'"
