Theme 99 : The Purpose of human life

God, infinitely perfect, in a plan of pure goodness, freely created the human being to let share in HIS Divine Life. For this, at every time and in every place, God draws close to the human being. HE calls together all, scattered and divided by sin, into the unity of HIS Family, the Church. To accomplish this, when the fullness of time came, God sent HIS Son as the Redeemer. Through Jesus, the Father invites all to become, in the Holy Spirit, HIS adopted children and thus partakers of HIS Life. Christ sent forth the apostles, commissioning them to proclaim the gospel. Strengthened by this mission, the apostles preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by signs.            (Ref. CCC 1-3)

Prayer :
Most Loving Abba, when I welcome YOUR Son's call and freely respond to it, I am urged on by HIS love to proclaim the Good News. I believe that this treasure, received from the apostles, has been faithfully guarded in the Church. Thank you for calling me to hand it on to the next generation, by professing the faith and living it in the Church.
