When the apostles were arrested for preaching the words of Jesus and the way to Salvation for all mankind, they were questioned. The High Priests asked why the Apostles were going against the orders of the Council. They replied simply, that there orders came from above and therefor superseded the orders of men.
This faith in the truth is why Jesus chose his disciples. He knew even though they would start as doubters, that they would succeed in bringing the news of the messiah to the world. He knew all that would happen and went on His mission.
Does God think any less of us? I believe that we are each called to speak the good news of Christ to the world. There are many ways we can go about this. But it is indeed important that we try.
Some people, especially in the Boston area, are searching for a way to join with Christ. It is our mission to remind them of the Catholic Church and tell them it is okay to return home. It is important for us not to be afraid to tell people who are seeking, about the truth and how to receive it through Christ's Church. We are here waiting.
Now some people feel that the Church will be fine even if we don't go out and help people find Christ. The Catholic Church is after all protected by Christ Jesus and what force on earth could destroy her. Well the church will survive. But consider this, there are many parts of the world, which once held strong Catholic beliefs that the Catholic Church's presence is non-existent now. North Africa being one region. Protestant Faiths and Un-Godly bible thumpers have taken so many loyal Catholics and turned them to similar but false truths.
Christ Jesus is Salvation. The only way to Christ is through the Church He commanded be built. It is our place to make sure that Catholic Church is run by Godly men. There is no place more appealing to the devil than to be amongst the ranks of Catholic Priests. It is our job to make sure the Church remains safe and secure. It is our mission to ensure her survival through prayer and a re-dedication to her.
Christ loves us and wants us to remain loyal to God. There are great Holy men in the Church who if they receive the help from us parishioners can succeed. The Church is hurting but it will Survive.
I ask that each and everyone of you reading this attend Mass this weekend and try to re-pledge yourselves to Christ and His Church.
