Brothers and sisters,
Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do,
do everything for the glory of God….
The way of faith
- To proclaim the faith and to plant his reign, Christ sends his apostles and their successors. He gives them a share in his own mission. From him they receive the power to act in his person. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 935)
- All of the faithful share in Christ’s priesthood: ever more united with him, they exhibit the grace of baptism and confirmation in all dimensions of their personal, family, social, and ecclesial lives, and so fulfill the call to holiness addressed to all the baptized. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 941)
- The Jewish faith, unlike other non-Christian religions, is already a response to God’s revelation in the Old Covenant. Neither all Jews indiscriminately at that time, nor Jews today, can be charged with the crimes committed during Christ’s passion and that the Jews should not be spoken of as rejected or accursed as if this followed from holy Scripture. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 839, 597)
