$\"\"$ <\/a>
H<\/span>umbly all of us should make great efforts to attend Church every Sunday and to offer God loving prayer. When we attend Church we are able to witness Christ Our Lord and to be aware of the Mother of God \u2026 and her loving prayers.<\/p>\n

Everyone of us knows that the Church is a place for healing, as we encounter the Physician of our souls, Christ our true God, who is reaching out to help us, save us, and keeps us by His grace, as this in itself is a great blessing for us all! How compassionate indeed is Christ our true God \u2026 who loves us all!<\/p>\n

Within the Church we find the love, and the compassion of Christ Our Lord!<\/p>\n

Within the Church we find hope!<\/p>\n

Within the Church we, who are all sinners, find forgiveness!<\/p>\n

Within the Church we find the Light of Christ, and darkness is wiped out!<\/p>\n

Within the Church we find true prayer, and the answer to all prayers!<\/p>\n

Within the Church we find truth, and are no longer misguided!<\/p>\n

Within the Church we are all spiritually filled, and go hungry no more!<\/p>\n

Within the Church we truly find spiritual joy, and sadness in our lives is no more!<\/p>\n

Within the Church we find the living Christ, who continues to perform miracles for us all!<\/p>\n

Within the Church we find salvation, and know the correct path to take during our lives!<\/p>\n

Within the Church we partake of the Holy Mysteries, that cleanse us and nourishes us all!<\/p>\n

Within the Church we behold the Mother of God, His Holy Prophets, His Saints, Holy Martyrs, and the Holy Fathers, who indeed all nourish us with spiritual guidance towards the Kingdom of Our God!<\/p>\n
