Sunday Reflection (July 18, 2021)

Because God “so loved the world,” Christ’s Church is everywhere.

Christ’s Church is Catholic, that is, Universal, and because the Church

is universal, no one Church or group of Churches can claim to be the only

true Church. Every Church is particular, yet part of something bigger

than itself. Together, we are being built together to bear witness to God’s

love as revealed in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:17-22).

Because of the leading of the Holy Spirit, the world learns that God

dwells within us and among us who proclaim and enact the message of

God’s love and compassion. Christ’s Church is the place of God’s

presence. What can we do to make our witness to God’s love and

compassion more inviting to others? What can we do to enact love

and compassion for the whole world?
