"The Church
gathers within herself all the vocations God raises up among
his sons and daughters and is transformed into a radiant reflection
of the mystery of the Holy Trinity. As a people gathered together
by the unity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the
Church carries within herself the mystery of the Father who
calls everyone to praise His name and to fulfil His will;
she preserves the mystery of the Son who, sent by the Father
to announce the Reign of God, invites everyone to follow Him;
she is the repository of the mystery of the Holy Spirit who
consecrates for the mission those whom the Father has chosen
through His Son, Jesus Christ". |
