Through the Holy Spirit, the leaders of the Church have been gifted to guide the Church into all truth. As Catholics, we can be assured that the Church will never falter in her call to leave a lasting legacy for the People of God.
Men who are grounded in the Gospel, whose eyes are fixed on the Lord, and whose hearts delight in God’s law of love will not let our trust be shaken by the ridicule of the world.
God gives us the strength to rejoice in our legacy of salvation, making our steps steady and sure so that we can journey to heaven with great joy and fullness of heart.
As we surrender to the will of our loving God, we are lifted above the troubles of this life and see our situation through the lens of God’s perfect plan.
Just as a right attitude and a healed heart can influence the healing of our physical body, so too can confession and forgiveness among Church members help to bring greater unity and healing to the Body of Christ.
When we choose to walk a gentle road with a broken sinner, ever mindful of how our journeys will affect the Church, we open the door for change and yield to the love of God that saves us from ourselves.
It is only when we travel the road to recovery with our brothers that the Gospel can be fully shared and the legacy of our Catholic faith be upheld and carried into the future.
