St. Mary's, St. John Bosco and St. Edward's

We do not come to Christ to have our opinions blessed.

We come to have our lives changed. The Church exists to help us do that.

And the keys matter because Christ did not leave every generation to invent its own version of the faith.

There is one Gospel. One Creed. One Baptism. One Eucharist.

One moral law. One Lord.

A parish exists to help people know Jesus Christ and get to Heaven.

In our age of seeking personal definitions of truth and morality, tour Gospel reminds us that Christ has already established His Church with authority given to Peter.

Today’s Gospel asserts Jesus founded a Church with authority, not merely a movement. Despite human flaws, Christ’s promise ensures truth endures to all generations.

Ezekiel’s vision illustrates that true life in the Church stems from God’s truth and grace, rather than modern reinterpretations of Christianity that diminish its essence.

We can know perfectly well what God asks of us and still say no.

We can become so used to sin that it no longer troubles us.
