B) The first major idea I would like to remember from this chapter is the story of the descent of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. I think that it is important to remember this story because it is a great example of the courage that God gives to us to do His will. The apostles were scared of what life would be like without Jesus right beside them. However, with the courage of the Holy Spirit, they were able to proclaim God’s message no matter what would happen to them because of it. I believe that this quality is crucial to my faith today.
The next major idea I would like to remember from this chapter is the writings of the famous Roman historian, Tacitus. Even though he was a prominent, pro-Roman official, he still realized the injustice of Nero’s mistreatment of Christians. Nero destroyed most of Rome with a fire in A.D. 64, but instead of taking the blame, he said it was the Christians’ fault and executed many of them. Tacitus saw how wrong this action was and wrote about the injustice, taking the side of the Christians even though he was Roman. This action shows that it is not impossible to break out of the norm to do what is right.

D) The Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke are considered synoptic, while the Gospel of John is considered to be different because of its focus on the divinity of Jesus. What is the main focus of the three synoptic Gospels?
E) The experience of my freshman year that brought me closer to Jesus wasn't some big, planned event like Direction Days or Freshman Retreat. Sure, those experiences were good to have, but I didn't really see myself grow in either event. This fact is probably true because I wasn't open to seeing God in others while participating in them, because I am usually a little introverted. However, being able to quiet down for two minutes every day for the Examen and thank God while contemplate His existance was probably the greatest source of my personal growth during the year. At the beginning of the year, I didn't really know what to do with my Examen, but by the end of the year, I had trouble fitting all I had to say to God into a two minute time period. Having time to do an Examen every day not only brought prayer back into my life, but also made my relationship with God much stronger.
