Introibo Ad Altare Dei

Madonna della Candeletta by Carlo Crivelli, 1492

O sweet Jesus, Whose overflowing charity for me is requited by so much forgetfulness, negligence and contempt, behold us prostrate before Your presence, eager to repair by a special act of homage the cruel indifference and injuries, to which Your loving Heart is everywhere subject.

Jesus said his Church would be “the light of the world.” He then noted that “a city set on a hill cannot be hid” (Matt. 5:14)

Jesus promised, “I will build my Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it” (Matt. 16:18). This means that his Church will never be destroyed and will never fall away from him. His Church will survive until his return.

The Church Is One (Rom. 12:5, 1 Cor. 10:17, 12:13)

The Church Is Holy (Eph. 5:25–27, Rev. 19:7–8)

The Church Is Catholic (Matt. 28:19–20, Rev. 5:9–10)

The Church Is Apostolic (Eph. 2:19–20)

Behold the Lamb of God.
