Reflection: The Catechism Explained By Stories and Examples
by Fr. Francis Spirago
Eight Lesson: On Our Lord’s Passion, Death, Resurrection, and Ascension
Question: Why did Christ suffer and die?
Answer: Christ suffered and died for our sins.

The Buried Seed: A little city girl was one springtime visiting her country cousins, and seeing the laborers in the field planting the seed, she cried out: “Oh, what a foolish thing! To bury the beautiful seed in the earth to rot and die!” The farmer smiled and said: “Yes; but if we don’t bury it, we shall have no fine fields of corn this summer, nor abundant harvest in the fall.” This law of nature is also the law of grace. Whoever humbleth himself shall be exalted. So, too, Christ’s voluntary degradation was the cause of our exaltation. He Himself expressed this truth when He said: “Unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die, itself remaineth alone, but if it die, it bringest forth much fruit.”

Question: What lessons do we learn from the sufferings and death of Christ?
Answer: From the sufferings and death of Christ we learn the great evil of sin, the hatred God bears to it, and the necessity of satisfying for it.

The Disappointed Philosopher: Unselfish self-sacrifice in behalf of others even unto death, is one of the surest credentials of God’s ambassadors. A member of the French Directory, whose name was Lepaux, had, after puzzling his brains for a long time, devised a new religion which he called Philanthropy (the modern altruism), but he could gain no disciples. One day he complained of his want of success to Talleyrand, the well known statesman. “I am not the least surprised at your failure,” the latter replied. “If you wish for success, go and work miracles; heal the sick, restore life to the death; let yourself be crucified and buried, and rise again on the third day. Do this, and take my word for it, all the world will run after you.” The philosopher saw the truth of this, and went away a humbler man than he came. Messengers specially sent by God must not only work wonders, but must also be models of self-sacrifice as a confirmation of their preaching and a proof of their divine mission.
