I've been reflecting these past few days on what it means to be a member of the Catholic Church. I'll be the first to admit that I don't always agree with every decree sent out from Rome... but at the same time I would never consider being anything other than a member of this faith community. But why?
I think that my answer came at mass this morning. I was at St. Thomas the Apostle in Hyde Park and the priest said, "For the Church, it is less about getting to heaven and saving our individual souls; but, about ALL of us getting to heaven and saving the world!" What beautiful and powerful words!
I'm not sure if this quote needs further written reflection, but I think that I am just going to let all of you sit with it! Peace turtles!
