A word and a prayer for this church

The church is not the building; it is Christ’s people, gathered. Over the Catholic churches of California, and over everyone who seeks God in California, the Scriptures speak:

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:”

Matthew 28:19 (KJV)

“Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.”

Isaiah 56:7 (KJV)

A prayer: Lord Jesus, be near to the people who gather as the Catholic churches of California. Teach them Your Word, knit them together in love, and make them a light in California. Where two or three come together in Your name, You are there. Amen.
