The Church, or, in other words, the kingdom of Christ now present in mystery, grows visibly through the power of God in the world.

REFLECTION
The church grows and it is a visible reminder of God’s ongoing presence and influence in our lives. Am I the fertile soil that enables the growth of the Church?

PRAYER
God, my loving Father, I thank you for the gift of Holy Mother Church. Like a branch gracefully extends from the stem, I pray for the Church to flourish. Help me to be a person actively contributing to the growth of the Church. Amen.
