Archbishop Gomez on the Church and Holy Week

“I wonder if we fully appreciate just how important the Catholic Church is in our world today.

“The Church’s mission is not sectarian. It’s not about promoting Catholicism or even about making more and better Catholics.

“Our mission is to save souls and to lift up the hearts of our neighbors to see that their lives have a transcendent meaning. Our mission is to inspire our brothers and sisters to build a world that is worthy of the great dignity of being a human person created in the image of God.”

In a recent commentary, Archbishop José H. Gomez, Archbishop of Los Angeles, offered some thoughts on the Church and Holy Week.
