God or Father Christ calls each one by name
Everyone’s name is sacred
The Name is the icon of the person
It demands respect as a sign of dignity of one who bears it

Oath

An oath
The invocation of the divine name
A witness to truth
Cannot be taken unless in truth
In judgment
In justice

Profession of faith in Eternal God
The Eternal Father
The Eternal Son

Hidden by "the cloud, 
now obscure, now luminous"
it overshadows, transfigures, 
--Light numinous--

"From the beginning 
until 'the fullness of time'"
the Word and Spirit's mission 
are hidden, sublime

From a valid marriage
Arises a bond between the spouses
Its very nature is perpetual
Exclusive
In a Christian marriage
Spouses are strengthened
As it were consecrated for the duties
The dignity of their state by a special sacrament.

Mortal sin requires full knowledge
Complete consent
Presupposes knowledge
The sinful character of the act
Oppose to Eternal God’s law

Implies a consent
Sufficiently deliberate
A personal choice

Feigned ignorance
Hardiness of heart
Not diminish
Increase
Character of sin

Spouses mutually give and receive one another
Sealed by Eternal God Himself
Their covenant arises an institution
Confirmed by the divine law
Even in the eyes of society
Covenant between spouses
Integrated Eternal God’s covenant
Man

Caught up into divine love.

Immersed in His Paschal Mystery
our Original Sin is --history!

Divine Power comes forth from His Heart
Giving sanctification a start

Now alive in Christ, but dead to sin
'cause death no longer has dominion!

A less serious matter
Does not observe moral law
Disobeys the moral law in a grave matter
Without full knowledge

Without complete consent
While he is in the flesh
Man cannot help
Have at least light sins

But do not despise these sins
Which is called “light”
When you take them for light 
Weigh them
Tremble when you count them
What then is our hope?

Above all
Reconciliation
Penance
Confession 

(CCC 1863)...

Divinity

Divinity, heavens being,
global, ubiquitous,
an omniscient, the all-seeing,
supreme, victorious,

Lazarus he raises,
Bible scripture phrases,
Holy Spirit praises,

The Trinity,
Divinity.
