Wait, I missed one. Jesus sent some men out into the world. When you are at St. Aidan for Mass, look up and see how the architecture of the sanctuary has 12 beams spreading in different directions outside this space as a reminder of those twelve men, sent out to spread the good news. We still exercise that entrusted mission of the apostles to men ordained through the sacrament of holy orders. Our priests have a ministry of bringing Jesus to people, and the people to Jesus. Just like those beams bring us inside a sacred space, one we receive Christ in the Eucharist, we are sent out by the priest to continue the mission.
Spend some time this week thinking about what God is calling you to? Has it changed since the last time you listened? Is the line still disconnected?
