Holy Mother Church
April 27, 2024 - 7:53am — ronsue
In Catholicism, the Church is referred to as "Mother" because she is the bride of Christ and the mother of believers the body of Christ, similar to how God is the Father of believers. The term "Mother" is a term of endearment that emphasizes the familial nature of the church. Faithful Catholics view the Church as an entity that cares for, guides, and nurtures the family of God in all things.
“The Church is our mother. She is our "Holy Mother Church" that is generated through our baptism, makes us grow up in her community, and has that motherly attitude, of meekness and goodness: Our Mother Mary and our Mother Church know how to caress their children and show tenderness. To think of the Church without that motherly feeling is to think of a rigid association, an association without human warmth, an orphan.” Pope Francis
LYRICS
To live evermore in prayer, we must listen to our teacher
Your Spirit has anointed her as our beloved mother
Through her holy sacraments, she heals and feeds us
With the love and life of God - to fullness of life with him in heaven
As you taught us the Our Father, she teaches us as our mother
In her liturgies, creeds, and hymns how to pray in spirit and truth.
She is the sign of peace and unity for all the world to see.
To every person, nation, and tongue she brings you- your truth
and love
We are her beloved children - all sisters and brothers
In her, we were born by the spirit. Now we live in his love
You said she will be persecuted by the world and her fallen children. But hell will not overcome her and you will raise her up in glory forevermore.
He who hears you hears me. He who sees you sees me
As we love you, dear Lord, so we love your beloved bride.
She is the sign of peace and unity, for all the nations to see.
To every people nation and tongue, she brings you, your truth and love.
Our Pope and bishops together are the voice of your Holy Spirit
They follow you - we follow them as our shepherds we pray for them
You said she will be persecuted by the world and her fallen children
But hell will not overcome her and you will raise her up in glory forevermore.
Through her holy sacraments, she heals and feeds us
With truth, love, and life of God - to fullness of life with him in heaven
