The Church as ONE
The Church as One
• The is one from her very source, the
  one living God in three Persons. “The
  Church shines forth as ‘a people
  made one with in the unity of the
  Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit’”
  (LG 4)
• Sacred Scripture: Eph. 4:4-6
• Church Unity as a task
• Ecumenism is concerned with
  restoring unity of the Christian
  Churches.
• Inter- religious dialogue
• Ecumenical unity transcends human
  abilities grounded in the prayer of
  Christ for the Church.
The Church as ONE
The Church as HOLY
The Church as HOLY
• Christ loved the Church as his bride
  and gave himself up for her, to make
  holy.
• The Holy Spirit graces her with the
  fullness of the means of salvation
  and holiness.
• The Church’s holiness is a process for
  growing, a “Paschal Pilgrimage”.
• Sacred Scripture: Eph. 4: 22-24
• …justice and holiness are born in truth
• We all need God’s mercy continuously
  and must daily pray: “Forgive us our
  sins’” (LG 40)
• In 1 Thes. 4:3 All baptized are called to
  live the full challenge of Christian
  holiness.
• Charity and Love is the center of
  holiness.

• Catholic means universal, complete,
  all-embracing.
• The Church is world-wide, sent to all
  the peoples and by faith endowed
  with the “fullness of the means for
  salvation”.
• “Catholicity” external and internal
• The Church as Catholic is both gift
  and task which involves mission and
  inculturation.
• The Catholicity of the Church is more
  fully realized when its able to
  assimilate and use the riches of a
  people’s culture for the glory of God.
The Church as CATHOLIC

  faithful who carry on the original
  mission entrusted by Christ to his
  Apostle.

MISSION AND MINISTRIES OF THE CHURCH
 • Christ founded his Church to
   continue his saving mission on earth
 • Mark      presents     mission      as
   proclaiming the Gospel to lead
   others to the faith.
 • Matthew’s mission stresses the
   teachings      of    the     Christian
   community- the Church
• Luke emphasizes the Gospel’s
  transforming power to work
  conversion to God’s merciful love
  and liberation from the root of all
  evil.
• In John’s Gospel sends forth his
  disciples on mission, just as the
  Father sent him.
• Mission is at the center of Church’s
  being, the whole Church is
  missionary.
• “…All are called to mission… -all
  without exception… -are called to
  evangelize” (PCP II 402)
