Church Matters!
Is that a description of details about church life or is that a declarative statement of a truth about our lives. Does Church Matter?! The parables of the Kingdom of God in this week's Gospel raise the issue of how important the Kingdom of God is in our lives. Does God matter?
Isn't the Catholic Church famous for a rather anonymous christianity....aren't we proud of the fact that we can walk into a catholic church anywhere in the world and "be at home" there? As I get older I would like to see us be less happy about that satisfaction. Would that all of us at St. Albert for sure, recognized the personal meaning that worshipping in our community has for us.
Does Church at St. Albert the Great matter? Why does your worship of the Holy Eucharist at YOUR parish matter? What does it mean? Are we making a conscious decision to "go to God together" as friends, members, family, Body of Christ, Communion?
The pearl of inestimable value is the presence of Jesus Christ "in the midst" of those who believe. Do you find it anywhere in the world?
