That we may be one...

"I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create dissensions and obstacles, in opposition to the teachings that you learned; avoid them."
--Romans, 16:17.

"...the holy Roman Church has been placed at the forefront not by the conciliar decisions of other Churches, but has received the primacy by the angelic voice of our Lord and Savior, who says: "You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it; and I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you shall have bound on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you shall have loosed on earth shall be loosed in heaven."--Matthew, 16:18-19, Acts of the Council of Rome, Decree of Damasus, ca, A. D. 382

"I am the Mother of the faith; I am the faithful virgin, and today you should ask me for help to remain in the faith. For this reason I summon you to listen to and follow the Pope, who has from Jesus the promise of infallibility, and to recite the Creed often as a renewed profession of your faith."
--Our Lady Speaks to Her Beloved Priests, (1987, p 428).

Jesus did not gives the keys of the kingdom to Luther, or Calvin or Wesley, nor to kings, nor any one person throughout the last 2,000 years...he gave the keys to Peter--to build His Church, one, holy, Catholic and Apostolic.
If therefore, one believes only in solo scriptura, as is for the most part the protestant tradition, one is in oppostion to that same Holy Scripture by denying the one true Church established by Christ.
Our prayer is that all will be called by the Holy Spirit to come home to the one true Church established by Christ--to partake of the Sacraments that bind us to Him and fill us with grace...that we may share in eternal life.

Mother of Mercy
we pray in union with you for the return of all our brothers and sisters who share our baptism to the Church established by your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ...Amen
