End
of the Age |
"Thus it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth."

End
Times /
Jesus' Coming |
There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars,
and on earth nations will be in dismay, perplexed by the roaring
of the sea and the waves. People will die of fright in
anticipation of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of
the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man
coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these signs
begin to happen, stand erect and raise your heads because your
redemption is at hand. [LK 21:25-28]

Entering
the Kingdom of God |
Jesus answered and said to him, "Amen, amen, I say to you,
no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from
above." Jesus answered, "Amen, amen, I say to you, no
one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and
Spirit. What is born of flesh is flesh and what is born of spirit
is spirit. [JN 3:3-6]

The
Rich / Entering the Kingdom of God |
Jesus looked at him (now sad) and said, "How hard it is
for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God! For it is
easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a
rich person to enter the kingdom of God." Those who heard
this said, "Then who can be saved?" And he said,
"What is impossible for human beings is possible for
God." [LK 18:24-27]

Entering
the Kingdom of Heaven |
Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children,
you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself
like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. [Taken
from MT 18:3-4]

Eyes /
Light (MT) |
The lamp of the body is the eye. If your eye is sound,
your whole body will be filled with light; but if your eye is bad,
your whole body will be in darkness. And if the light in you is
darkness, how great will the darkness be. [MT 6:22-23]

|
Eyes /
Light (LK) |
No one who lights a lamp hides it away or places it
(under a bushel basket), but on a lampstand so that those who
enter might see the light. The lamp of the body is your eye. When
your eye is sound, then your whole body is filled with light, but
when it is bad, then your body is in darkness. Take care, then,
that the light in you not become darkness. If your whole body is
full of light, and no part of it is in darkness, then it will be
as full of light as a lamp illuminating you with its
brightness. [LK 11:33-36]

Faith (MT) |
Amen, I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard
seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,'
and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. [Taken from
MT 17:20]

Faith /
Prayer |
Jesus said to them in reply, "Amen, I say to you, if you
have faith and do not waver, not only will you do what has been
done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be
lifted up and thrown into the sea,' it will be done. Whatever you
ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive." [MT
21:21-22]

has faith." [Taken from MK 9:23]

Faith (MK 11) |
Jesus said to them in reply, "Have faith in God. Amen, I
say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and
thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes
that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him." [MK

Faith (LK) |
The Lord replied, "If you have faith the size of a mustard
seed, you would say to (this) mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and
planted in the sea,' and it would obey you." [LK 17:6]

False
Prophets (MT 7) |
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's
clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves. By their fruits you
will know them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs
from thistles? Just so, every good tree bears good fruit, and a
rotten tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit,
nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not
bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. So by
their fruits you will know them. [MT 7:15-20]

False
Prophets /
End Times / Persecution / Perseverance |
Jesus said to them in reply, "See that no one deceives
you. For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Messiah,'
and they will deceive many. You will hear of wars and reports of
wars; see that you are not alarmed, for these things must happen,
but it will not yet be the end. Nation will rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom; there will be famines and earthquakes
from place to place. All these are the beginning of the labor
pains. Then they will hand you over to persecution, and they will
kill you. You will be hated by all nations because of my name. And
then many will be led into sin; they will betray and hate one
another. Many false prophets will arise and deceive many; and
because of the increase of evildoing, the love of many will grow
cold. But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved. And
this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the world
as a witness to all nations, and then the end will come. [MT
24:4-14]

False
Prophets (MT 24) |
If anyone says to you then, 'Look, here is the Messiah!' or,
'There he is!' do not believe it. False messiahs and false
prophets will arise, and they will perform signs and wonders so
great as to deceive, if that were possible, even the elect.
Behold, I have told it to you beforehand. So if they say to you,
'He is in the desert,' do not go out there; if they say, 'He is in
the inner rooms,' do not believe it. [MT 24:23-26]

Prophets /
End Times (MK) |
Jesus began to say to them, "See that no one deceives you.
Many will come in my name saying, 'I am he,' and they will deceive
many. When you hear of wars and reports of wars do not be alarmed;
such things must happen, but it will not yet be the end. Nation
will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will
be earthquakes from place to place and there will be famines.
These are the beginnings of the labor pains." [MK 13:5-8]

Time
of Tribulation / False Prophets /
Return of Jesus / Being Watchful |
When you see the desolating abomination standing where he
should not... then those in Judea must flee to the mountains,
(and) a person on a housetop must not go down or enter to get
anything out of his house, and a person in a field must not return
to get his cloak. Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in
those days. Pray that this does not happen in winter. For those
times will have tribulation such as has not been since the
beginning of God's creation until now, nor ever will be. If the
Lord had not shortened those days, no one would be saved; but for
the sake of the elect whom he chose, he did shorten the days. If
anyone says to you then, 'Look, here is the Messiah! Look, there
he is!' do not believe it. False messiahs and false prophets will
arise and will perform signs and wonders in order to mislead, if
that were possible, the elect. Be watchful! I have told it all to
you beforehand. But in those days after that
tribulation the sun will be darkened, and the moon will
not give its light, and the stars will be falling from the
sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. And then
they will see 'the Son of Man coming in the clouds' with great
power and glory, and then he will send out the angels and gather
(his) elect from the four winds, from the end of the earth to the
end of the sky. Learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its
branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is
near. In the same way, when you see these things happening, know
that he is near, at the gates. Amen, I say to you, this generation
will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven
and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. But of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the angels in
heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be watchful! Be alert!
You do not know when the time will come. It is like a man
traveling abroad. He leaves home and places his servants in
charge, each with his work, and orders the gatekeeper to be on the
watch. Watch, therefore; you do not know when the lord of the
house is coming, whether in the evening, or at midnight, or at
cockcrow, or in the morning. May he not come suddenly and find you
sleeping. What I say to you, I say to all: 'Watch!' [MK
13:14-37]

False
Prophets /
End Times (LK) |
He answered, "See that you not be deceived, for many will
come in my name, saying, 'I am he,' and 'The time has come.' Do
not follow them! When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not
be terrified; for such things must happen first, but it will not
immediately be the end." Then he said to them, "Nation
will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will
be powerful earthquakes, famines, and plagues from place to place;
and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky." [LK
21:8-11]

Fasting |
When you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites.
They neglect their appearance, so that they may appear to others
to be fasting. Amen, I say to you, they have received their
reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so
that you may not appear to be fasting, except to your Father who
is hidden. And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you.

Dominion
of Jesus / Belief in Jesus / Fate of Those
Who Disobey Jesus |
The one who comes from above is above all. The one who is of
the earth is earthly and speaks of earthly things. But the one who
comes from heaven (is above all). He testifies to what he has seen
and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. Whoever does accept
his testimony certifies that God is trustworthy. For the one whom
God sent speaks the words of God. He does not ration his gift of
the Spirit. The Father loves the Son and has given everything over
to him. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever
disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains
upon him. [JN 3:31-36]

Fear |
And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill
the soul; rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul
and body in Gehenna. [MT 10:28]

Salt is good, but if salt becomes insipid, with what will you

Following
Jesus (MT) |
Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any man will come after
me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
For he that will save his life, shall lose it: and he that shall
lose his life for my sake, shall find it. For what doth it profit
a man, if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his own
soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul? [MT 16:24-26]

Jesus (LK) |
Then he said to all, "If anyone wishes to come after me,
he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever
loses his life for my sake will save it. What profit is there for
one to gain the whole world yet lose or forfeit himself? Whoever
is ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed
of when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and
of the holy angels." [LK 9:23-26]

Following
Jesus (JN) |
(Jesus said), "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the
ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies,
it produces much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and
whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal
life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also
will my servant be. The Father will honor whoever serves me. Now
is the time of judgment on this world; now the ruler of this world
will be driven out. And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will
draw everyone to myself." He said this indicating the kind of
death he would die. (Then) Jesus said to them, "The light will be
among you only a little while. Walk while you have the light, so
that darkness may not overcome you. Whoever walks in the dark does
not know where he is going. While you have the light, believe in
the light, so that you may become children of the light."
After he had said this, Jesus left and hid from them... Jesus cried
out and said, "Whoever believes in me believes not only in me
but also in the one who sent me, and whoever sees me sees the one
who sent me. I came into the world as light, so that everyone who
believes in me might not remain in darkness. And if anyone hears
my words and does not observe them, I do not condemn him, for I
did not come to condemn the world but to save the world. Whoever
rejects me and does not accept my words has something to judge
him: the word that I spoke, it will condemn him on the last day,
because I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me
commanded me what to say and speak. And I know that his
commandment is eternal life. So what I say, I say as the Father
told me." [JN 12:24-26, 31-36, 44-50]

Following
Jesus /
Jesus is the Way |
(Jesus said), "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in
God; have faith also in me. In my Father's house there are many
dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I
am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a
place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so
that where I am you also may be. Where (I) am going you know the
way." Thomas said to him, "Master, we do not know
where you are going; how can we know the way?" Jesus said to
him, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes
to the Father except through me. If you know me, then you will
also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen
him." Philip said to him, "Master, show us the Father,
and that will be enough for us." Jesus said to him,
"Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not
know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can
you say, 'Show us the Father'? Do you not believe that I am in the
Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do
not speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me is doing his
works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me,
or else, believe because of the works themselves. Amen, amen, I
say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do,
and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the
Father. And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the
Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything of me in
my name, I will do it. If you love me, you will keep my
commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you
another Advocate to be with you always, the Spirit of truth, which
the world cannot accept, because it neither sees nor knows it. But
you know it, because it remains with you, and will be in you. I
will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. In a little while
the world will no longer see me, but you will see me, because I
live and you will live. On that day you will realize that I am in
my Father and you are in me and I in you. Whoever has my
commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. And
whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him
and reveal myself to him." Judas, not the Iscariot, said to
him, "Master, (then) what happened that you will reveal
yourself to us and not to the world?" Jesus answered and said
to him, "Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father
will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with
him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; yet the word
you hear is not mine but that of the Father who sent me." [JN
14:1-19]

Jesus
is the Bread of Life / Jesus' Mission / Foretelling
of the Eucharist |
(Jesus said), "Do not work for food
that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life,
which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father, God,
has set his seal." So they said to him, "What can we do
to accomplish the works of God?" Jesus answered and said to
them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in the one
he sent." So they said to him, "What sign can you do,
that we may see and believe in you? What can you do? Our ancestors
ate manna in the desert, as it is written: 'He gave them
bread from heaven to eat.'" So Jesus said to them,
"Amen, amen, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave the
bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and
gives life to the world." So they said to him, "Sir,
give us this bread always." Jesus said to them, "I am
the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and
whoever believes in me will never thirst. But I told you that
although you have seen (me), you do not believe. Everything that
the Father gives me will come to me, and I will not reject anyone
who comes to me, because I came down from heaven not to do my own
will but the will of the one who sent me. And this is the will of
the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything of what he
gave me, but that I should raise it (on) the last day. For this is
the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes
in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him (on) the last
day...No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw
him, and I will raise him on the last day. It is written in the
prophets: 'They shall all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens
to my Father and learns from him comes to me. Not that anyone has
seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the
Father. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal
life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the
desert, but they died; this is the bread that comes down from
heaven so that one may eat it and not die. I am the living bread
that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live
forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life
of the world." The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying,
"How can this man give us (his) flesh to eat?" Jesus
said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the
flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life
within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal
life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true
food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks
my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father
sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who
feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread that
came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still
died, whoever eats this bread will live forever." Then many
of his disciples who were listening said, "This saying is
hard; who can accept it?" Since Jesus knew that his disciples
were murmuring about this, he said to them, "Does this shock
you? It is the spirit that gives life, while the flesh is of no
avail. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But
there are some of you who do not believe." Jesus knew from
the beginning the ones who would not believe and the one who would
betray him. And he said, "For this reason I have told you
that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my
Father." As a result of this, many (of) his disciples
returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied
him. Jesus then said to the Twelve, "Do you also want to
leave?" Simon Peter answered him, "Master, to whom shall
we go? You have the words of eternal life. [Taken from JN 6:27-40,

Forgiveness

Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, neither
will your Father forgive your transgressions. [MT 6:14-15]

Forgiveness
(MT 18) |
Then Peter approaching asked him, "Lord, if my brother
sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven
times?" Jesus answered, "I say to you, not seven times
but seventy-seven times." [MT 18:21]

Judgment
of Others / Forgiveness / Generosity |
(Jesus said), "Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning
and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven.
Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed
together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your
lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be
measured out to you." And he told them a parable, "Can a
blind person guide a blind person? Will not both fall into a pit?
No disciple is superior to the teacher; but when fully trained,
every disciple will be like his teacher. Why do you notice the
splinter in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden
beam in your own? How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let
me remove that splinter in your eye,' when you do not even notice
the wooden beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! Remove the wooden
beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the
splinter in your brother's eye." [LK 6:37-42]

Sin / Forgiveness |
Things that cause sin will inevitably occur, but woe to
the person through whom they occur. It would be better for him if
a millstone were put around his neck and he be thrown into the sea
than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. Be on your
guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents,
forgive him. And if he wrongs you seven times in one day and
returns to you seven times saying, 'I am sorry,' you should
forgive him. [Taken from LK 17:1-4]

Forgiveness
of Sins |
Jesus said to him in reply, "Simon, I have something to
say to you." "Tell me, teacher," he said. "Two
people were in debt to a certain creditor; one owed five hundred
days' wages and the other owed fifty. Since they were unable to
repay the debt, he forgave it for both. Which of them will love
him more?" Simon said in reply, "The one, I suppose,
whose larger debt was forgiven." He said to him, "You
have judged rightly." Then he turned to the woman and said to
Simon, "Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you
did not give me water for my feet, but she has bathed them with
her tears and wiped them with her hair. You did not give me a
kiss, but she has not ceased kissing my feet since the time I
entered. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she anointed my
feet with ointment. So I tell you, her many sins have been
forgiven; hence, she has shown great love. But the one to whom
little is forgiven, loves little." He said to her, "Your
sins are forgiven." The others at table said to themselves,
"Who is this who even forgives sins?" But he said to the
woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace." [LK

Gaining
Eternal Life (MT) |
Now someone approached him and said, "Teacher, what good
must I do to gain eternal life?" He answered him, "...If
you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments." He asked
him, "Which ones?" And Jesus replied, " 'You shall
not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you
shall not bear false witness; honor your father and your mother';
and 'you shall love your neighbor as yourself.'" The young
man said to him, "All of these I have observed. What do I
still lack?" Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be
perfect, go, sell what you have and give to (the) poor, and you
will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." When the
young man heard this statement, he went away sad, for he had many
possessions. Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Amen, I say
to you, it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the kingdom
of heaven. Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass
through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the
kingdom of God." When the disciples heard this, they were
greatly astonished and said, "Who then can be saved?"
Jesus looked at them and said, "For human beings this is
impossible, but for God all things are possible." [Taken from
MT 19:16-26]

Gaining
Eternal Life (MK) |
(A man asked Jesus), "What must I do to inherit eternal
life?" Jesus answered him, "...You know the
commandments: 'You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery;
you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall
not defraud; honor your father and your mother.'" He replied
and said to him, "Teacher, all of these I have observed from
my youth." Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him,
"You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and
give to (the) poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then
come, follow me." At that statement his face fell, and he
went away sad, for he had many possessions. Jesus looked around
and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for those who have
wealth to enter the kingdom of God!" The disciples were
amazed at his words. So Jesus again said to them in reply,
"Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is
easier for a camel to pass through (the) eye of (a) needle than
for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." They were
exceedingly astonished and said among themselves, "Then who
can be saved?" Jesus looked at them and said, "For human
beings it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible
for God." [Taken from MK 10:17, 19-27]

Revenge / Generosity |
You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a
tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, offer no resistance to one
who is evil. When someone strikes you on (your) right cheek, turn
the other one to him as well. If anyone wants to go to law with
you over your tunic, hand him your cloak as well. Should anyone
press you into service for one mile, go with him for two miles.
Give to the one who asks of you, and do not turn your back on one
who wants to borrow. [MT 5:38-42]

God Knows
Hearts |
And he said to them, "You justify yourselves in the sight
of others, but God knows your hearts; for what is of human esteem
is an abomination in the sight of God." [LK 16:15]

Resurrection
/ God of the Living |
When (people) rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are
given in marriage, but they are like the angels in heaven. As for
the dead being raised, have you not read in the Book of Moses, in
the passage about the bush, how God told him, 'I am the God of
Abraham, (the) God of Isaac, and (the) God of Jacob'? He is not
God of the dead but of the living. [MK 12:25-27]

God's Care |
Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins? Yet not one of
them has escaped the notice of God. Even the hairs of your head
have all been counted. Do not be afraid. You are worth more than
many sparrows. [LK 12:6-7]

Prayer / God's
Presence |
I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for
which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly
Father. For where two or three are gathered together in my name,
there am I in the midst of them. [Taken from MT 18:19-20]

Greed |
Then he said to the crowd, "Take care to guard against all
greed, for though one may be rich, one's life does not consist of
possessions." [LK 12:15]

Heavenly
Treasures |
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where
moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal. But store
up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor
thieves break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there also
will your heart be. [MT 6:19-21]

The
Hidden Will Become Visible |
No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a vessel or
sets it under a bed; rather, he places it on a lampstand so that
those who enter may see the light. For there is nothing hidden
that will not become visible, and nothing secret that will not be
known and come to light. Take care, then, how you hear. To anyone
who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even
what he seems to have will be taken away. [LK 8:16-18]

The
Holy Spirit Will Teach Persecuted Followers What to Say |
"When they take you before synagogues and before rulers and authorities, do not worry about how or what your defense will be or about what you are to say. For the
Holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what you should say." [LK.
12:11-12]

Honesty in
Speech |
Let your 'Yes' mean 'Yes,' and your 'No' mean 'No.' Anything
more is from the evil one. [MT 5:37]

How to Pray |
(Jesus) said to them, "When you pray, say: Father,
hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day
our daily bread and forgive us our sins for we ourselves
forgive everyone in debt to us, and do not subject us to the
final test." [Taken from LK 11:2-4]

BIG Book of Latin Activities For Catholics
Beginning - Intermediate (Vol. 1)
"Suitable For Children Or
Adults!" ~ "Perfect For Home Schoolers!"
+ + +
As many faithful Catholics already know,
the majestic
Latin language – the 'official language' of the Catholic Church –
promotes unity, helps safeguard the purity of doctrine, connects us with
our Catholic ancestors, allows us to pray in "one voice", and even ties
back to the inscription on the Cross which was written in Hebrew, Latin,
and Greek. The Latin language is still used today in the precious
treasure that is the
Traditional Latin ('Tridentine') Mass, in 'everyday speech' (much of
English is derived from Latin), in mottos, in specialized fields, and in
educational endeavors. It has been shown that the study of Latin brings
many benefits. "And, Latin is truly the language of heaven!"
If you enjoy Latin, you may be glad to know that
this full-sized (8.5" x 11"), tradition-minded publication features an
assortment of activity types related to Latin (including: word searches,
crosswords, coloring activities, challenges, fill-ins, spelling bee,
quizzes, unscrambles, true/false, multiple choice, matching, cross-offs,
circling, word associations, translation exercises, and more...), and
treats of various topics (including: common Latin words, Latin language
facts, Latin grammar, nouns & verbs, abbreviations,
phrases / sayings / mottos, prefixes, cardinal numbers, grammatical gender,
inflection, word roots, diacritics / accenting, pronunciation, Latin
prayers / hymns, Scripture verses, Catholic phrases, and more...).
