Grafted
Contrary to the claims of Messianic Judaism, Jesus did not establish a Jewish-only Church (The Way) and then later inspire a gentile church (Christian). Jesus established one Church, the Catholic Church into which His believers, both Jews and Gentiles, are grafted. Just like the hybrid apple tree with all its grafts remains one apple tree, so too the Holy Catholic Church.
We dare to say
In the mass, the priest prays: “At the Saviour’s command, informed by Divine teaching, we dare to say..” How dare we say anything to our almighty, all powerful God?
I’m holy enough!
Pentecost has come and gone. The question begs: have I changed? Or do I still leave Sunday mass and go back to the same old way of thinking and habits of doing?
