designated in the Church

“Some people God has designated in the Church to be, first, Apostles; second, prophets; third, teachers; then, mighty deeds; then gifts of healing, assistance, administration, and varieties of tongues.” (1 COR 12: 28)

We have different roles and different vocations as well as different talents and different gifts but the same purpose in life—to serve our brothers and sisters. We are “designated in the Church to be” servants and supporters and to be transmitters of Gods grace. As parents or friends and in our workplaces and streets, we can bring people closer to Our Lord.

“A great prophet has arisen in our midst and God has visited his people.” (Gospel Acclamation)
