Hi, Andrea —
Thanks for the question.
You said:
- What does the
global church mean for you?
For me, it means, I have my work
cut out : )
Our Blessed Lord says in Scripture
himself:
And Jesus came and said to them, All
authority in heaven and on earth
has been given to me. Go
therefore and make disciples of
all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that
I have commanded you; and lo,
I am with you always, to the close
of the age.
(Matthew 28:18-20)
For short, since there is one Christ,
who founded one Church and since
He sent His Apostles and disciples
to:
teach others to observe
all that I have commanded you;
The ultimate goal for us, is to do
this, so all will join the one global
or Universal Church
— the Catholic Church founded
by God-Incarnated: Jesus Christ,
Our Blessed Lord.
We spread the Good News but it's for others to choose or not
choose the Church.
We just give the
good reasons why one should become a Catholic Christian and clarify the misperceptions
about the Church's Teachings.
It's the individual's choice and
free will, not ours.
My colleagues may have their own
personal answer, but that's mine.
Mike
