Last Sunday, 28th September, we commemorated the 25th anniversary of the death of the Most Rev. Laureano Castán Lacoma, ‘The Bishop of the Work of the Church’.
On the last 23rd of August the new Apostolate House of The Work of the Church in Rwanda was blessed in the person and by the hands of the Most Rev. Vincent Harolimana, Bishop of Ruhengheri Diocese.
Mary’s greatness springs from Her divine Motherhood; and, since She is the Mother of Christ, who is the Head of the Mystical Body, She is also the Mother of each and every one of His members.
"The Work of the Church comes to make all be Church; The Work of the Church comes to make us all discover, or rediscover if you will, by delving into the mystery of the Church and to help us enter into that arcane reality of the Church which is a mystery of unity and charity. "
Around 200 Italian and Spanish pilgrims from The Work of the Church gathered in Rome to experience this jubilant event of the Catholic Church with a universal spirit, along with the moving remembrance of Mother Trinidad on her anniversary.
It is the Church that, through baptism, fills the capacity that God instilled in you to be His son. Baptism is the door introducing you into the bosom of your Father God and making of you a partaker of the Divine Family, through the anointing of the divinity, which, on falling upon you, makes you share a mystical priesthood, received from the High and Eternal Priest; a priesthood that through your divine filiation, you have to live to the utmost perfection.
Silence…! Silence…! Silence…! for the Lady feels that Her whole soul smoothly and peacefully flames in the savoury, mysterious and infinitely immutable heat of the divine kiss of the Immutability by essence in a Trinitarian act... And almost without perceiving it… without being aware… without noticing anything…the Lady finds Herself, in a delightful… smooth and silent… twinkling of an eye…before that God whom She contemplated and possessed during Her whole life; but now, having been attained, the degree of divinisation determined by God Himself, She is snatched and introduced into the nuptial chamber, to have in the Homeland the same that She had in the exile, but in a total, joyful and absolute possession of Eternity.
On creating you, whoever you may be, the three divine Persons, jointly, poured Themselves forth, taking delight in one single creating gaze, in order to create you “in Their image and likeness.” That is why each soul has its own special physiognomy, its own particular beauty, and its unique name given to it by God on the day He created it, as befitted its physiognomy within creation.
Oh, priest of the New Testament…! The whole infinite Trinity responds to your word, and bows favourably to you in order to give Itself to you. But the whole Trinity, in loving attitude, asks for your response to this great moment of its Gift!
God has His infinite joy in the perfect possession of being Himself in Himself what He is Himself in a most blissful and trinitarian act. If to be happy He would need something outside of Himself, or He could rejoice essentially in anything that was not He being Himself by Himself, He would not be the Infinite Perfection.
