Catholics challenged to remain faithful
As we bask in the glory of Easter joy, we remind ourselves of our firm belief that Jesus Christ is alive. He is risen from the dead and is gloriously alive right now in heaven. Our focus, then, must center on how we live the mystery of the risen Christ among us here and now.
That causes us to consider how Jesus communicated himself to us and how he continues his living presence among us until he returns in glory, as he promised, at the end of the world. That, of course, calls our attention to his church (the people of God). The church, therefore, means something to us; it is important. As we reflect upon the church we must not necessarily be confined simply to the thought of an institution or an organization. The church is much bigger and more significant than that. We need to consider the church as the focus of the love of Jesus. She is personified, if you will, as the Bride of Christ (CCC 796).
