Catechism – Paragraph #669

Posted on May 8, 2024

Catechism Meditation:

As Lord, Christ is also the head of the Church, which is his Body. Taken up to heaven and glorified after he had thus fully accomplished his mission, Christ dwells on earth in his Church.  No. 669

REFLECTION.  Jesus’ Incarnation―his physical presence on earth―did not end with the Ascension.  In the Church, and especially in the Sacraments, each of us in our own time and our own way can have a physical encounter with the Incarnate Word.

PRAYER.  Christ, may we who are your Body and your Church always remain close to You, our head.

Timeless Wisdom Quote:

“Had Christ remained on earth, sight would have taken the place of faith. In heaven, there will be no faith because His followers will see; there will be no hope, because they will possess; but there will be love for love endureth forever!” ― Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
