What more can the title of this post say? Christ's Church, the Catholic Church, has all the power and all the glory that God wants it, indeed, needs it to have. That's the great thing about God and his power and his promises. "The gates of hell will not prevail..." Even during the most darkest, decadent times in the Church's history, she never wavered. The Truth was preserved because it is not a mere human institution. It is an institution, THE institution, that was founded by God while he was still on earth. Not many things can claim what the Church does. And no ones dares to. Either we are speaking the truth, or Jesus was a liar and humans are doomed to eternal nothingness.
But this is not so. The claims of Jesus and the Truth of Jesus have set the world free. And the Church is the harbinger of hope, charity, and truth to all the world until the end of time. We, the Church are on a journey to the final destination: heaven and the Beatific Vision. And we the people, are not perfect. The Church is the hospital for sinners, not a hotel for saints. It is because of this, that the Church has power and that the Church receives glory. Not because of what we do, but because of what God does in us.
Thanks be to God for the Catholic Church! Shout it from the rooftops! Let the world know you are proud to be Catholic!
