The Church continues the mission of Jesus.
The Church is Jesus continuing his mission
Jesus carried out his work in poverty and
persecution.
The Church follows the same path
Jesus came to serve, not to be served.
The Church follow the same path of humility and self-sacrifice
Jesus came to bring Good News to the poor.
By serving the poor and afflicted,
the Church serves and sees the image of Jesus
The Church is holy, since it was founded by
the Holy One of God.
But the Church comprises both saints and sinners
and is continually in need of penance and renewal
Jesus, please help me see you in the
Church
and see the Church in you
