God Builds the Church.
The city of Jerusalem is the seat of God. Jerusalem is the centre of God’s presence. The life of the people of Israel moves around the city of Jerusalem. An eternal city which is built and designed by God. We know well Jesus died in Jerusalem and sanctified it. Jerusalem is a chosen place of God on earth. Though Jerusalem is the chosen place for the spread of His Word, sacraments and the presence of God is made available in every place. Jesus is alive and he is among us. His presence is real in the Eucharist and in the gathering of the Church for prayer.
The twelve tribes of
Israel, twelve angels, twelve gates and twelve foundations of the city of
Jerusalem show the call and preparation of the community of the Church built on
the foundation of the twelve Apostles. The church is built and spread through
the twelve Apostles. Today we have the Pope and Bishops, priests and elders as
the custodians of faith, the Word of God and the spiritual care of people of God.
Do we believe that Jesus
is alive among us?
