to prepare

myself?

No glory withoutsuffrings

my crown of

thistles forms

each flower represents a specia

lgrace to help me fulfill my vocation

I must live my baptismal

grace purity each day

I must live my special grace of

fidelity to my vocation each day

I must live my grace to accept suffering with

Jesus each day without counting the cost

may my special grace happyness help each one

I meet to grow more each day in our vocation

Each person, consecrated to God in baptism,

received his (her) vocation from God, that it

be in the great sacrament of matrimony or the

vocation to celibacy. The person, called to

holiness in the sacrament of matrimony,

consecrates himself (herself) to live totally for

the spouse and children; it is a consecration tolive as first teachers for others in the family.

In the vocation to celibacy, the consecration is

to live for others in the religious life or layperson in the Church as catequist.

VOCATION IS THE PATH WHERE GOD

MEETS TO SANCTIFY EACH ONE CALLED!

From this text precisely I would like to underline shortly three

understandings of the adjectif apostlic applied to the Church

ear ro ers an s ers, oo orn ng


23/36

ear ro ers an s ers, oo orn ng When we recite the Creed we say I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I dont

know if you have ever reflected on the meaning of the expression the Church is apostolic.

Perhaps from time to time, coming to Rome, you have thought about the importance of the

Apostles Peter and Paul who here gave their lives to bring and bear witness to the Gospel.

But it is even more. To profess that the Church is apostolic means to stress the constitutive

bond that she has with the Apostles, with that small group of 12 men whom Jesus one daycalled to himself, he called them by name, that they might remain with him and that he might

send them out to preach (cf. Mk 3:13-19). Apostle, in fact, is a Greek word meaning sent,

dispatched. An Apostle is a person who has been given a mandate, he is sent to do

something and the Apostles were chosen, called and sent out by Jesus to continue his work,

that is to pray which is the primary job of an apostle and, second, to proclaim the

Gospel. This is important, because when we think of the Apostles we might think that they

were only sent out to proclaim the Gospel, to do many good deeds. However, a problem arose

in the early times of the Church because of how much the Apostles had to do, and that is why

they instituted deacons, so that there would be more time for the Apostles to pray and

proclaim the Word of God. When we think of the Successors of the Apostles, the bishops

this includes the Pope for he too is a bishop we must ask ourselves if this successor of the

Apostles prays first and then proclaims the Gospel: this is what it means to be an Apostle and

this is what makes the Church apostolic. Every one of us, if we want to be apostles as I shall

explain now, must ask ourselves: do I pray for the salvation of the world? Do I proclaim the

Gospel? This is the Church apostolic! It is the constitutive bond that we have with the

Apostles.

Starting from this I would like to focus briefly on the three meanings of the adjectiveapostolic as it is applied to the Church.

1 Th Ch h i t li b h i f d d th hi d f th A tl


24/36

1. The Church is apostolic because she isfounded on the preaching and prayer of the Apostles,

on the authority that was entrusted to them by Christ himself. St Paul writes to the

Christians of Ephesus: You are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow

citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of

the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being a cornerstone (2:19-20); that is, he

compares Christians to living stones that form an edifice that is the Church, and this edificeis founded on the Apostles, like columns, and the cornerstone that carries it all is Jesus

himself. Without Jesus the Church cannot exist! Jesus is the foundation of the Church, the

foundation! The Apostles lived with Jesus, they listened to his words, they shared his life,

above all they were witnesses of his Death and Resurrection. Our faith, the Church that

Christ willed, is not based on an idea, it is not based on a philosophy, it is based on Christ

himself. And the Church is like a plant that over the long centuries has grown, hasdeveloped, has borne fruit, yet her roots are planted firmly in Him and that fundamental

experience of Christ which the Apostles had, chosen and sent out by Jesus, reaching all the

way to us. From this little plant to our day: this is how the Church has spread everywhere in

the world.

2. But let us ask ourselves: how is it possible for us to be connected to thattestimony, how could what the Apostles experienced with Jesus, what they heard

from him reach us? This is the second meaning of the term apostolic. The

Catechism of the Catholic Churchstates that the Church is apostolic because with

the help of the Spirit dwelling in her, the Church keeps and hands onthe teaching,

the good deposit, the salutary words she has heard from the Apostles (n. 857).

.the world. She continues in history the mission which Jesus entrusted to the Apostles:Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of theFather and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I havecommanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age (Mt 28:19-20).This is what Jesus told us to do! I insist on this missionary aspect, because Christ invites

all to go out and encounter others, he sends us, he asks us to move in order to spreadthe joy of the Gospel! Once again let us ask ourselves: are we missionaries by ourwords, and especially by our Christian life, by our witness? Or are we Christians closedin our hearts and in our churches, sacristy Christians? Are we Christians in name only,who live like pagans? We must ask ourselves these questions, which are not a rebuke. Iask myself as well: what kind of Christian am I, is my witness true?

The Churchs roots are in the teaching of the Apostles, the authentic witnesses of Christ,but she looks to the future, she has the firm consciousness of being sentsent byJesusof being missionary, bearing the name of Jesus by her prayer, proclaiming itand testifying to it. A Church that is closed in on herself and in the past, a Church thatonly sees the little rules of behaviour, of attitude, is a Church that betrays her own

identity; a closed Church betrays her own identity! Then, let us rediscover today all thebeauty and responsibility of being the Church apostolic! And remember this: the Churchis apostolic because we prayour first dutyand because we proclaim the Gospel byour life and by our words.

2Tim 3:16-4:1-5

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for

teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in

righteousness, 17 that the man of God[a]may be

complete, equipped for every good work.

I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ

Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by

his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be

ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke,

and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3

For the time is coming when people will not endure

sound[a]teaching, but having itching ears they will

accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their ownpassions, and will turn away from listening to the

truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always

be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of

an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

1Cor 7:25 39

En cualquier caso, cada uno debe vivir conforme a la condicin que el Seor le asign y a la cual Dios lo ha llamado

To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to

remain single as I am. But if they cannot exercise self-control, they

should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

25 Now concerning virgins, I have no command of the Lord, but I give my opinion as one who

by the Lords mercy is trustworthy. 26 I think that, in view of the impending[a]crisis, it is well for

you to remain as you are. 27 Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free

from a wife? Do not seek a wife. 28 But if you marry, you do not sin, and if a virgin marries, she

does not sin. Yet those who marry will experience distress in this life,[b]and I would spare you

that. 29 I mean, brothers and sisters,[c]the appointed time has grown short; from now on, let

even those who have wives be as though they had none, 30 and those who mourn as though

they were not mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those

who buy as though they had no possessions, 31 and those who deal with the world as though

they had no dealings with it. For the present form of this world is passing away.32 I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the affairs of the

Lord, how to please the Lord; 33 but the married man is anxious about the affairs of the world,

how to please his wife, 34 and his interests are divided. And the unmarried woman and the

virgin are anxious about the affairs of the Lord, so that they may be holy in body and spirit;

but the married woman is anxious about the affairs of the world, how to please her husband.35

I say this for your own benefit, not to put any restraint upon you, but to promote good orderand unhindered devotion to the Lord.
