Reverence/Piety

Reverence is the gift of the Holy Spirit in which we show a deep respect for  God, for others and for all creation.  A person with reverence recognizes our total reliance on God and comes before God with humility, trust, and love.

    I show reverence to all of Gods creation when I am sitting outside and see a spider and decide to let it crawl away instead of killing it. I also show reverence when I am respectful to other humans. The last way I show reverence is by taking care of all of Gods animals even though I might not like them.

    There is many thing I can do to become more reverent to others. I can be kind and respectful, as well as be patient and listen. In doing these things I am being reverent to Gods creatures.

  3. 1. I show reverence to God when I’m praying and at church. I also show reference when I’m talking about God with others. I show it whenever I talk to others and notice that they are a part of God.


    2. I am reverent to God’s nature when I don’t complain about the weather and realize that I might not want it, but there are people like farmers in need of it. I will also realize that I am not the only person in this world and that it isn’t all about me. I can also be kind and use virtues towards others.

    3. I can be more reverent by noticing if someone is in my way I can kindly say excuse me and move on. I can also use the virtues more and be more like Jesus. Another way I can be more reverent is when I am talking to others. I can listen to them and not be the only one talking.

  4. 1. I show reverence to God. I show reverence when I am in mass. I show reverence when I am praying to him. He needs to be respected, so that it why I show reverence.

    2. I show reverence to God's creation. I try my best to not waste things. I try to recycle, and not just randomly kill animals. The creatures were made by God, so they also have to be respected.

    3. I can become more reverent of others. I can respect adults and those in authority more. I can listen to my teachers more often. I can just be more like Jesus by being kind and respectful to my peers.

  5. 1. I show reverence to God when we pray at adoration and when I pray in general- meaning at home or at school. Also I show reverence to God when I participate in mass with the responses and singing. I feel like I am most reverent to God when I am praying by myself because it is my own reflection/prayer time and i can be meaningful in saying my prayers so I feel more respectful towards God.

    2. I show reverence to God's creations when i am kind to others and their possessions. Another way i show reverence is by not hurting or destroying an insects habitat outside such as a spider web even if there is not a spider in it. Being respectful and aware of what lives in nature is also way I can reverence to God's creations.

    3. I can be more reverent to others by, having more respect and courtesy of them if they don't understand something. I can also be more polite to them by saying thank you instead of ignoring them if they are putting an extra effort towards something that takes a lot of time. I think another way i can be more reverent to others is by treating them the way I would want to be treated because I don't know what they are going through so it is better to kind and respectful to them.

  6. 1. I show reverence when I am in Mass. I may joke around outside of Mass, but when I am in God's house it is another story. I do not mess around in Mass. I also show reverence during prayer. I don't use the sign of the cross for a joke or celebration.

    2. I show reverence to God's creation in many ways. I show reverence to the Earth by recycling when ever I get the chance. I also don't litter on land or in the water. I respect the ocean and the land, and that is why I don't litter.

    3.I can always be more reverent to others, because I am not perfect. I can do this by not reacting to people who irritate me. I can also do this by doing whatever my parents ask.

  7. 1. I show reverence to God when I am at mass. At mass I am thinking about him and showing my belief. I also show reverence to God when I am making good decisions. When I am making good decisions God helped me make those decisions and helped me be kind to others.

    2.I show reverence to all of his creations by making sure that I can keep the planet clean. I recycle when I can and clean up trash I see outside. I show reverence to his creations also by respecting other people. I respect them and their things.

    3. What I can do to be more reverent to others is I can show virtues toward them. I can show them respect in the choices they make and show kindness toward them. I can understand where they are coming from and respect their choices.

  8. 1. I show reverence and piety when during adoration, it's a time to be respectful and value your time with God. It helps you think and focus on the good in the world. I'm aware that I'm not always reverent, in fact I don't think I really am at all but I try to be most reverent during adoration.

    2. Honestly my answer for this one is kind of dumb, I'm reverent when I'm not being a jerk to my cat. I'm reverent when I spend time around people or mostly late at night when I'm silent, I don't even have to be tired but I'm more thoughtful and reasonable at later times of the day when I have time to think .

    3. I can be more reverent by not being a jerk and taking time to appreciate the things around me, especially those around me. I won't see most of these people again and I shouldn't take any of them for granted even though I do.

  9. I show reverence in many ways. One way I show reverence is when at church and we have time that is silence just for us to pray I make sure to stay in my own space so I can pray and talk to God. Another way I show reverence is when at home when talking to my parents about God and different aspects of my faith.
    I show reverence to his creatures by never hurting someone or something that’s is not necessary. I never like to end conflict with fighting or anyone getting and with animals and nature I also try to be respectful of them\because they are also living things.
    I could show more reverence when in mass at times where it isn’t silent like participating more in singing and responding. I hope to start trying to accomplish these things.

  10. 1. I show reverence to God when I am silent during prayer. I believe that Reverence is also a kind of respect where you need to be respectful when you are in church. I am reverent when I tell my friends about my beliefs in God because I know that he is our Lord and we should worship him.

    2. I show reverence to all of God’s creation when I take the time to let a big go outside instead of killing it. I show reverence when I see an animal in trouble or even a plant that needs to be watered. I know that I should respect all of God’s creation because He is important to me as well as everything he has created.

    3. I can be more reverent with others by being more respectful. I can understand that they are just as excited about something as I am and let them state it without me interrupting. I can let them go first or hold the door open for them so that they can just add a little more joy into their day. I can even invite them to church and teach them a little about Jesus.
