"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". |
