ii A PLACE TO PRAY
Man can, and should, pray anywhere. God has placed
no limitations on his communing with him.
I Our Lord has said. .. Ask and ye shall receive." God
» »'■ listens when we seek him. no matter where, however
I _-at he desires that we gather together in prayer too
A. "... mine house shall be called an house of prayer for
all people."
Ir '
The Church is God s oppointed ogency in this world
for spreading the knowledge of His love for mon and
pi '* J of His demand f or man to respond to that love by
loving his neighbor Without this grounding in the
1 | love of God, no government or society or way of life
’ | h will long persevere and the freedoms which we hold
T J so dear will inevitably perish Therefore, even from
■ a selfish point of view, one should support the Church
for the sake of the welfare of himself and his family
’ 1 Beyond ,hDt ' h()wevcr ' every person shoultl uph ° ld
and participate in the Church because it tells the truth
IV. I 4 about man's life, death and destiny; the truth which
A alone will set him free to live os a child of God.
