the mission of the Church...


The Church is compared to the shrub of mustard. From here, we can learn two missions of the Church:
First- According to the parable, is that different birds nest on the tree branches. Such is the Church. The Church exists, not only for an exclusive community, but for all men and women.
second- according to the parable of the mustard seed, the Church exists in order to give rest to the birds.
The Church exists in order to give rest to the people. When we are tired, we go home and go to bed. When birds break their wings, they return to their nest. When children are bruised, they ran to their parents. When adults get hurtthey seek the comfort of their paternal or maternal homes. Such is the Church.
It is for people who have no place to return to, for people who have no homes waiting for them, for people who want to rest, but cannot.
The Church is not here to confuse people,. The Church is not here to make trouble.
The Church is here to offer rest!
