Built upon the foundation of the Apostles

“You are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone.” (EPH 2: 19-20)

Our Church is the mystical body of Our Lord and “built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the capstone.” We are “no longer strangers and sojourners, but fellow citizens with the holy ones and members of the household of God.” We are never alone, never abandoned, and never lonely. The holy Apostles with Our Lord are not only in Heaven but are always present in the Church. They pray for us, support us and lead us. We are “built upon the foundation of the Apostles.”

“We praise you, O God, we acclaim you as Lord; the glorious company of Apostles praise you.” (Gospel Acclamation)
