Our Sacred Roots: The Priesthood of All Believers

T he B irth of C hrist

For Your Weekly Journey Weekly Reflection on the Priesthood of All Believers Jesus of Nazareth has all authority in heaven and on earth. He conquered sin, death, and Satan, and established a Kingdom that will never end. He poured the Holy Spirit on the Church and sent us to call everyone everywhere to freedom and eternal life. The Holy Spirit dwells within us. “Us” means the whole Church. Every believer – man, woman, boy, and girl, no matter your age, culture, ethnicity, personality, education, background, or wealth – if the Holy Spirit dwells within you, you can guard the good deposit that has been entrusted to you. Friends, our intent is to empower the whole Church to guard the good deposit that has been entrusted to us. The Great Tradition provides a clear witness to what has been believed and practiced everywhere, always, by all Christians. It serves as a reliable pattern for the whole Church to represent Christ with faithfulness and freedom.
