He also attacked a certain city called Caspin,
fortified with earthworks and ramparts and inhabited by a mixed
population of Gentiles. Relying on the strength of their walls and
their supply of provisions, the besieged treated Judas and his men
with contempt, insulting them and even uttering blasphemies and
profanity. But Judas and his men invoked the aid of the great
Sovereign of the world, who, in the day of Joshua, overthrew
Jericho without battering-ram or siege machine; then they
furiously stormed the ramparts. [2MACC 12:13-15]
Let not your mouth form the habit of swearing,
or becoming too familiar with the Holy Name. [SIRACH 23:9]
A man who has the habit of abusive language will
never mature in character as long as he lives. [SIRACH 23:15]
If one man prays and another curses, whose voice
will the LORD hear? [SIRACH 34:24]
Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard.
One of the maids came over to him and said, "You too were
with Jesus the Galilean." But he denied it in front of
everyone, saying, "I do not know what you are talking
about!" As he went out to the gate, another girl saw him and
said to those who were there, "This man was with Jesus the
Nazorean." Again he denied it with an oath, "I do not
know the man!" A little later the bystanders came over and
said to Peter, "Surely you too are one of them; even your
speech gives you away." At that he began to curse and to
swear, "I do not know the man." And immediately a cock
crowed. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken:
"Before the cock crows you will deny me three times." He
went out and began to weep bitterly. [MT 26:69-75]
While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of
the high priest's maids came along. Seeing Peter warming himself,
she looked intently at him and said, "You too were with the
Nazarene, Jesus." But he denied it saying, "I neither
know nor understand what you are talking about." So he went
out into the outer court. (Then the cock crowed.) The maid saw him
and began again to say to the bystanders, "This man is one of
them." Once again he denied it. A little later the bystanders
said to Peter once more, "Surely you are one of them; for you
too are a Galilean." He began to curse and to swear, "I
do not know this man about whom you are talking." And
immediately a cock crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the
word that Jesus had said to him, "Before the cock crows twice
you will deny me three times." He broke down and wept. [MK
14:66-72]
All have gone astray; all alike are worthless;
there is not one who does good, (there is not) even one. Their
throats are open graves; they deceive with their tongues; the
venom of asps is on their lips; their mouths are full of bitter
cursing. [Taken from ROM 3:12-14]
No foul language should come out of your mouths,
but only such as is good for needed edification, that it may
impart grace to those who hear. [EPH 4:29]
Immorality or any impurity or greed must not
even be mentioned among you, as is fitting among holy ones, no
obscenity or silly or suggestive talk, which is out of place, but
instead, thanksgiving. Be sure of this, that no immoral or impure
or greedy person, that is, an idolater, has any inheritance in the
kingdom of Christ and of God. [EPH 5:3-5]
Put to death, then, the parts of you that are
earthly: immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and the greed
that is idolatry. Because of these the wrath of God is coming
(upon the disobedient). By these you too once conducted
yourselves, when you lived in that way. But now you must put them
all away: anger, fury, malice, slander, and obscene language out
of your mouths. Stop lying to one another, since you have taken
off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self,
which is being renewed, for knowledge, in the image of its
creator. [COL 3:5-10]
In the same way the tongue is a small member and
yet has great pretensions. Consider how small a fire can set a
huge forest ablaze. The tongue is also a fire. It exists among our
members as a world of malice, defiling the whole body and setting
the entire course of our lives on fire, itself set on fire by
Gehenna. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea
creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by the human species,
but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil,
full of deadly poison. With it we bless the Lord and Father, and
with it we curse human beings who are made in the likeness of God.
From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. This need not be
so, my brothers. Does a spring gush forth from the same opening
both pure and brackish water? Can a fig tree, my brothers, produce
olives, or a grapevine figs? Neither can salt water yield fresh. [JMS
3:5-12]

For thus said the LORD
to me, taking hold of me and warning me not to walk in the way of
this people: Call not alliance what this people calls alliance,
and fear not, nor stand in awe of what they fear. But with the
LORD of hosts make your alliance - for him be your fear and your
awe. Yet he shall be a snare, an obstacle and a stumbling stone to
both the houses of Israel, A trap and a snare to those who dwell
in Jerusalem; And many among them shall stumble and fall, broken,
snared, and captured. [ISA 8:11-15]
See, I bring evil upon this people, the fruit of
their own schemes, Because they heeded not my words, because they
despised my law... Therefore, thus says the LORD: See, I will
place before this people obstacles to bring them down; Fathers and
sons alike, neighbors and friends shall perish. [Taken
from JER 6:19, 21]
From that time on, Jesus began to show his
disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer greatly from the
elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and on
the third day be raised. Then Peter took him aside and began to
rebuke him, "God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever
happen to you." He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind
me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God
does, but as human beings do." [MT 16:21-23]
I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who
create dissensions and obstacles, in opposition to the teaching
that you learned; avoid them. For such people do not serve our
Lord Christ but their own appetites, and by fair and flattering
speech they deceive the hearts of the innocent. [ROM 16:17-18]
If we have sown spiritual seed for you, is it a
great thing that we reap a material harvest from you? If others
share this rightful claim on you, do not we still more? Yet we
have not used this right. On the contrary, we endure everything so
as not to place an obstacle to the gospel of Christ. [Taken from
1COR 9:11-2]

Now the serpent was the
most cunning of all the animals that the LORD God had made. The
serpent asked the woman, "Did God really tell you not to eat
from any of the trees in the garden?" The woman answered the
serpent: "We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden;
it is only about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden
that God said, 'You shall not eat it or even touch it, lest you
die.'" But the serpent said to the woman: "You certainly
will not die! No, God knows well that the moment you eat of it
your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods who know what
is good and what is bad." The woman saw that the tree was
good for food, pleasing to the eyes, and desirable for gaining
wisdom. So she took some of its fruit and ate it; and she also
gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then
the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized that they
were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths
for themselves. When they heard the sound of the LORD God moving
about in the garden at the breezy time of the day, the man and his
wife hid themselves from the LORD God among the trees of the
garden. The LORD God then called to the man and asked him,
"Where are you?" He answered, "I heard you in the
garden; but I was afraid, because I was naked, so I hid
myself." Then he asked, "Who told you that you were
naked? You have eaten, then, from the tree of which I had
forbidden you to eat!" The man replied, "The woman whom
you put here with me - she gave me fruit from the tree, so I ate
it." The LORD God then asked the woman, "Why did you do
such a thing?" The woman answered, "The serpent tricked
me into it, so I ate it." Then the LORD God said to the
serpent: "Because you have done this, you shall be banned
from all the animals and from all the wild creatures; On your
belly shall you crawl, and dirt shall you eat all the days of your
life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between
your offspring and hers; He will strike at your head, while you
strike at his heel." To the woman he said: "I will
intensify the pangs of your childbearing; in pain shall you bring
forth children. Yet your urge shall be for your husband, and he
shall be your master." To the man he said: "Because you
listened to your wife and ate from the tree of which I had
forbidden you to eat, Cursed be the ground because of you! In toil
shall you eat its yield all the days of your life. Thorns and
thistles shall it bring forth to you, as you eat of the plants of
the field. By the sweat of your face shall you get bread to eat,
Until you return to the ground, from which you were taken; For you
are dirt, and to dirt you shall return." The LORD God
therefore banished him from the garden of Eden, to till the ground
from which he had been taken. When he expelled the man, he settled
him east of the garden of Eden; and he stationed the cherubim and
the fiery revolving sword, to guard the way to the tree of life.
[GEN 3:1-19,23-24]
In woman was sin's beginning, and because of her
we all die. [SIRACH 25:23]
In Eden, the garden of God, you were, and every precious stone was your covering
(carnelian, topaz, and beryl, chrysolite, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, garnet, and emerald);
Of gold your pendants and jewels were made, on the day you were created. With the Cherub I placed you; you were on the holy mountain of God, walking among the fiery stones. Blameless you were in your conduct from the day you were created,
Until evil was found in you [Taken from EZEK 28:13-15]
Therefore, just as through one person sin entered the world, and through sin, death, and thus death came to all, inasmuch as all
sinned - for up to the time of the law, sin was in the world, though sin is not accounted when there is no law.
But death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin after the pattern of the trespass of Adam, who is the type of the one who was to come.
But the gift is not like the transgression. For if by that one person's transgression the many died, how much more did the grace of God and the gracious gift of the one person Jesus Christ overflow for the many.
And the gift is not like the result of the one person's sinning. For after one sin there was the judgment that brought condemnation; but the gift, after many transgressions, brought acquittal.
For if, by the transgression of one person, death came to reign through that one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of justification come to reign in life through the one person Jesus Christ.
In conclusion, just as through one transgression condemnation came upon all, so through one righteous act acquittal and life came to all.
For just as through the disobedience of one person the many were made sinners, so through the obedience of one the many will be made righteous.
[ROM 5:12-19]
But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead came also through a human being.
For just as in Adam all die, so too in Christ shall all be brought to life,
but each one in proper order: Christ the firstfruits; then, at his coming, those who belong to Christ;
then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father, when he has destroyed every sovereignty and every authority and power.
For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
The last enemy to be destroyed is death, for "he subjected everything under his feet." But when it says that everything has been subjected, it is clear that it excludes the one who subjected everything to him.
When everything is subjected to him, then the Son himself will (also) be subjected to the one who subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.
[1COR 15:20-28]
Similarly, (too,) women should adorn themselves with proper conduct, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hairstyles and gold ornaments, or pearls, or expensive clothes, but rather, as befits women who profess reverence for God, with good deeds. A woman must receive instruction silently and under complete control. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man.
She must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. Further, Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and transgressed. But she will be saved through motherhood, provided women persevere in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.

"This is how you
are to pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your
kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us
today our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our
debtors; and do not subject us to the final test, but deliver us
from the evil one. If you forgive others their transgressions,
your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive
others, neither will your Father forgive your
transgressions." [MT 6:9-15]
He was praying in a certain place, and when he
had finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach
us to pray just as John taught his disciples." He 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." [LK 11:1-4]

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...).
