Who We Are Tells Us What We Do By Greg Friedman, OFM

In his book Catholicism, contemporary Catholic

theologian Fr. Richard McBrien identifies the

mission of the Church with that of the kingdom

proclaimed by Jesus but warns that the Church itself

is by no means the fully realized kingdom. He goes

on to describe three models of Church: the

institutional, the community, and the servant.

The institutional Church calls us to the values we

hold in common. There are different functions,

offices, and gifts within the one body. As a priest, I

look to laypersons to exercise their baptismal role.

So, for example, in the area of politics I may be less

able to take an active role in office-seeking, where

other members of the body of Christ can. I know

very little about science or medical ethics. I rely on a

brother or sister Christian in the field to apply the

Church’s teachings that deal with the sanctity of life.

Community has always been an important value to us

as a Church. Today we have strengthened the role of

community in the Church by emphasizing it in more

explicit ways. We have made community more

visible in our worship through an emphasis on

greater participation in prayer and song.

And finally, the role of the Church as servant. What

is particularly noteworthy about our contemporary

efforts to serve is a wider consciousness and greater

involvement than ever before. Our image of Church

now includes American lay missioners working in

the Third World, a grass-roots interest in efforts on

behalf of peace and human rights, solidarity with the

poor, and a heartfelt response to the desperate needs

of our brothers and sisters starving in Africa. †

Heavenly Father, you are constantly working out your plan for your Church, with me as

a living member of it. Help me to find and maintain my place for your glory and the

building up of your Church. Amen. —Fr. Mark Haydu, LC

A Word From Pope Francis

Just as the Father gave us the Son out of love, and the Son gave himself to us out of the same love, so we too can love others as God has loved us, giving our lives for one another. Faith in God becomes goodness, faith in the crucified Christ becomes the strength to love to the end, even our enemies. The proof of authentic faith in Christ is self-giving and the spreading of love for our neighbors, especially for those who do not merit it, for the suffering and for the marginalized.
