Description
Excerpt from History of St. Patrick''s Church, Carlisle, Pennsylvania
The divine commission, Go teach all nations, has been one to which the Catholic Church has ever been true and faithful one woven like a tissue of gold in her nineteen centuried history; one inseparably connected with the divinity of her organization and existence. After the pentecostal outpouring of the Holy Spirit, she entered upon her stupendous mission with marks and prerogatives in which the whole human family from the uncultured Lombard and Goth to the erudite Greek and Roman, dis cerned the presence of gifts which belong to the super natural order and of graces which connect her by an almost visible bond with the unseen world. These gifts and graces, as history records, have been her inheritance, not only in apostolic ages, but are poured out as lavishly in our own generation as in any that preceded it. It is by this token, and not by numerical success, that we recog nize the apostolic commission.
