To Be Alone With You Lyrics I'd swim across lake MichiganI'd sell my shoesI'd give my body to be back againIn the rest of the room
To be alone with youTo be alone with youTo be alone with youTo be alone with you
Prayer
You gave your body to the lonelyThey took your clothesYou gave up a wife and a familyYou gave your goals
To be alone with meTo be alone with meTo be alone with meYou went up on a tree
To be alone with me you went up on the tree
I'll never know the man who loved me

“For a monumental struggle against the powers of
darkness pervades the whole history of man. The battle was joined from the very origins of the world and will continue until the last day, as the lord has made clear. Caught in this conflict, man is obliged to wrestle constantly if he is to cling to what is good, nor can he achieve his own integrity without great efforts and the help of God’s grace.”
(Gaudium Et Spes – Pastoral constitution on the Church in the modern world, 1965)
Ethics is er-where, always has been
Scripture
Is the inspired Word of God. It is the primary and most important source as it contains the record of God’s self-revelation firstly in the life of the people of Israel and then in the
life, death and resurrection of Jesus.
Key ethical teachings come in the form of :
The Ten Commandments. Jesus’ teachings - The Beatitudes.
‘Love one another as I have loved you’ (John 15:12)
Sources of Catholic Ethics
This is the record of the believing community. What is passed on to the
current community from the ancestors in faith starting with the apostles and
those who have succeeded them.It comes in the form of :
Creeds, Decrees of Church councils, Treatises. And theological works of
scholars – These are all examples of Church tradition.
Tradition
This is the teaching arm of the Church which is
carried out by the Pope and the Bishops . The Magisterium is able to teach or interpret
the truths of the Faith, and it does so infallibly. (free from error)
The task of interpreting divine revelation (God’s Self revelation) authentically has been entrusted solely to the Magisterium of the Church, that is, to the Pope and to the bishops in communion with him.
Examples of the teachings of the church
come in the form of - Papal Encyclicals, Pastoral letters from Bishops are examples that come from the magisterium
