  3. 8.05.01 Give evidence of being made in God's image and likeness. We are endowed with an immortal soul, intelligence and free will Humans are capable of knowing and of loving their Creator with free will, each with the individual dignity of a person Humans are the only creatures that God has called to share in his own divine life

  4. 8.05.02 How is a moral conscience formed? Formation of a moral conscience is a lifelong task, assisted by the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the witness and advice of others, guided by the teaching of the Church, and nurtured through prayer.

  5. 8.05.03 What is free will? Free will is the ability to voluntarily choose good or bad actions. Choosing good deepens our relationship with God, while choosing evil injures that relationship and leads to the slavery of sin.

  6. 8.05.04 What is the moral conscience? Moral conscience is a judgment of reason which urges a person to do good and avoid evil It is the “inner voice” that helps us to judge the morality of our actions and take responsibility for our actions A prudent person can hear the voice of God who speaks to him or her

  7. What is sin? Sin is a word or act contrary to the God’s Law, or the failure to act uprightly What factors are necessary for an act to be sinful? One commits a sin when he or she: has full knowledge that the act is wrong has freedom to choose whether or not to act and deliberately chooses to act (or fail to act)

  8. 8.05.05 What does acceptance of God’s mercy require from us? We must admit our faults and repent of our sins.

  9. 8.05.06 What is a virtue?How can we develop virtues? Virtues are the habitual and firm dispositions to do good A virtue must be developed through practice until it becomes easy to do

  10. Cardinal Virtues Prudence – directs us toward good and helps us to choose the right path Justice – guides us to give God and others what is due them Fortitude – the strength to do the right thing, even when it is difficult Temperance – helps us to control our attraction to pleasure so that our desires are kept within proper limits

  11. Theological Virtues Faith – helps us believe in God Hope – trust that God will always be with us and help us to live in his friendship Charity – helps us love God above all things and love our neighbor as ourselves
