“I believe; help my unbelief!” I seek to know and do your will, O God.. Let not my doubts disqualify me, Lord. "Late have I loved you, O Beauty ever ancient, ever new, late have I loved you! … You called, you shouted, and you broke through my deafness. You flashed, you shone, and you dispelled my blindness." Merely say the word, and my soul shall be healed.

Ignatius (disciple of John) referred to the "Catholic Church" (in ~107 AD) as the visible, unified body of believers under episcopal authority, distinguishing it from heretical groups lacking that structure. In his Letter to the Smyrnaeans, he equates its presence with Christ's, implying a concrete institution rather than a vague universal idea. The term functioned as a proper descriptor for the apostolic Church, not just an adjective. The Epistle of Ignatius to the Smyrnaeans - Chapter 8. Let nothing be done without the bishop; "See that you all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as you would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. It is not lawful without the bishop either to baptize or to celebrate a love-feast; but whatsoever he shall approve of, that is also pleasing to God, so that everything that is done may be secure and valid."

I can’t be there for everyone all the time, but I’ll try to help whenever and wherever I can. I never want to ask anyone for anything, yet I’m humble enough to know that at times, I need to. Thank you, Lord, for this day and this opportunity to work hard.

Note to self. Cool.
