Gifts of the Holy Spirit



I chose the picture of a person reading a bible for wisdom because the person is showing a desire to learn about God.
I chose the picture of the group of people reflecting on the scripture for the gift of understanding because they seem to have clearly understood the mystery of faith.
I chose the picture of a dove shining upon a child with two paths in front of him for counsel because the dove seems to be teaching the child what both paths mean.
I chose the picture of a group of people sitting together for the gift of fortitude because they strengthen each other to make correct decisions.
I chose the picture of a child looking out a window with a lot of books and a dove above for the gift of knowledge because the books and the dove help the child discover the will of God.
I chose the picture of Jesus on the cross along with what seems to be God the Father for the gift of piety because it shows Jesus' love for his father, which we should follow in our own lives.
I chose the picture of a group of people shying away from the light of the dove for the gift of fear of the Lord because it shows fear towards the Lord so we must not disobey him. (picture didn't work)

Baptism video 5




1. This video was made by the first universal methodist church. This is a well respected organization and therefore is trustworthy.
2. I learned the viewpoints of the methodist church on baptism. One of these viewpoints is that they believe in re-baptism to reaffirm you as a person to the church.
3. This video was boring because of the video quality and the speaker along with coughing and other noises in the background.

Baptism video 2




1. This video was made by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, which is a well respected organization.
2.  I learned about the process called the right of christian initiation of adults. In this process the baptized steps into a pool of water and rise just as Jesus did.
3. This video was boring and could have used a better speaker.
