Twenty-second Sunday in A note from Fr. Temo:

Let us know a little about our Church, which is ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC and APOSTOLIC.

IT IS ONE in the Unity of Faith by accepting the truths revealed and those proposed by the of the apostles (Mk. 16, 16). In the Government Unit since Jesus created in it a directive body made up of the apostles. In the Unity of Communion because its members work for the salvation of souls.

The Church IS HOLY, because its founder is holy and because Christ founded it to sanctify men “I have communicat- ed your doctrine to them; sanctifying them in truth; your word is the truth itself ” (Jn. 17:17). The Apostle Paul will declare that "Jesus Christ loved his Church and gave himself to sanctify it, in order to make it appear holy and immacu- late" (Eph. 5:27).

The Church was already CATHOLIC on the morning of , when all its members met in a small room (Acts 2,1). The Church is sent to all peoples, receiving the mandate that Christ himself entrusted to her: “Go, then, and make all peoples my disciples. Baptize them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Mt 28, 19).

Jesus granted the apostles the triple power to teach, sanctify and govern his Church until the end of the centuries (Mt. 28, 18-20). Thus, the Church IS APOSTOLIC: In the Origin, because the one founded on the apostles, is the same to- day. In the Doctrine, he teaches the same truths as the apostles. In the Succession, since it is governed, instructed and sanctified by the legitimate successors of the apostles.

Conozcamos un poco sobre nuestra Iglesia, que es Una, Santa, Católica y Apostólica.

ES UNA en la Unidad de Fe por la aceptación de las verdades reveladas y las propuestas por el magisterio de los apóstoles (Mc. 16, 16). En la Unidad de Gobierno ya que Jesús creó en ella un cuerpo directivo integrado por los após- toles. En la Unidad de Comunión porque sus miembros trabajan para la salvación de las almas.

La Iglesia ES SANTA, porque su fundador es santo y porque Cristo la fundó para santificar a los hombres “Yo les he comunicado tu doctrina; santificándolos en verdad; la palabra tuya es la verdad misma” (Jn. 17, 17). El apóstol san Pablo va a declarar que “Jesucristo amó a su Iglesia y se entregó para santificarla, a fin de hacerla comparecer santa e inmaculada” (Ef. 5, 27).

La Iglesia era ya CATÓLICA la mañana de Pentecostés, cuando todos sus miembros se reunían en una reducida sala (Hch 2,1). La Iglesia es enviada a todos los pueblos, recibiendo el mandato que Cristo mismo le confió: “Vayan, pues, y hagan que todos los pueblos sean mis discípulos. Bautícenlos en el Nombre del Padre y del Hijo y del Espíritu San- to” (Mt 28, 19).

Jesús concedió a los apóstoles la triple potestad de enseñar, santificar y gobernar su Iglesia hasta el fin de los siglos (Mt. 28, 18-20). Así pues la Iglesia ES APOSTÓLICA: En el Origen, porque la fundada sobre los apóstoles, es la misma hoy. En la Doctrina, en- seña las mismas verdades que los apóstoles. En la Sucesión, ya que es gobernada, instruida y santificada por los legítimos suceso- res de los apóstoles.
