One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic

A great strength of the Catholic Church is its continuity through space and time, sanctifying the present, remembering and holding to what's past, and ever looking with hope toward the future. She embraces all people and all times and speaks to every heart that ever yearned for the Eternal.

Especially through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, where time and space are simply ignored and the faithful are at the foot of the cross on Golgotha with the entire Communion of Saints, Christ truly draws all people to Himself in and through the universal Church.

Here are a few helpful online resources.
