Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Faith and the Facts, Vol. 1 of 2: Religion´s Story, What Catholics Believe and Practice, What We Have Done and Are Doing, Answers to Charges Made Against the Church, a Busy Person´s Reference Work, a Home Library The Catholic Church is the Almoner of the World, because she is the channel of Gods grace to man. In the Mass she applies the infinite merit of the Sacrifice of the Cross to redeem him; while by the same act giving to God the high and mighty worship that was prefigured as well as prophesied for forty centuries; and now, for twenty is offered "from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same" in every land beneath the firmament, and before all the peoples inhabiting this earth. In her Sacraments she endows him with spiritual strength according to the needs of his life, and of his station or office therein. These Sacraments meet him at the cradle and leave him only with his last breath. In her Liturgy she finds her way into the deep recesses of his heart and soul, softens the hardness of his human pride, melts the coldness of his human vanity, draws upward to the plane of the spirit his earth-bound thoughts and actions. In her Doctrine she enlightens him on the most important and sublime truths, thus laying the sure and safe foundation upon which to build the structure of true science. In her history, as well as in the record of the ages of darkness but also of hope that preceded it, she gives to his artistic nature inspiration for the highest forms and creations of the work of his brain and of his hands, enabling him to produce works which outlive his own term of earthly existence, and send his message of faith and virtue into the lives of his children and his children´s children. Nothing that man as a spiritual being needs is she unable or unwilling to supply. She is the Giver of Gifts by excellence, the Teacher of Teachers by right of her mission, the Judge of Judges by the authority of the justice that has been put in her by Divine Justice, the Guide through dangers. She is eyes for the blind, hearing for the deaf, voice for the voiceless, consolation for the poor and the sorrowful, and the one safe direction for the rich and the powerful. "Come, let us go to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob, and He will teach us His ways, and we will walk in His paths; for the law shall come forth from Sion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
