A Body Both Suffering and Glorious: The Mystical Union of Christ and the Church
From the website, Word on Fire: Clearly answering the question, What is the Church? Father Barron presents the reality of the Church as one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. The Body of Christ can be seen on earth from the Church’s center in Rome to the cities of New York, Sao Paolo, Manila, Namugongo, and Uganda, while still escaping total understanding as the mystical union between Christ and his Church.
Father Barron also explores the Catholic conviction that the life and presence of Christ continues to embrace humanity in all its joys and sorrows through the presence of the Church.

Opening PrayerFor the Holy Church
O God, who in your wonderful providence decreed that Christ’s kingdom should be extended throughout the earth and that all should become partakers of his saving redemption, grant, we pray, that your Church may be the universal sacrament of salvation and that Christ may be revealed to all as the hope of the nations and their Savior. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. Resource Components for Week 6
