  • John 17: 22-26

    John 17: 20-26 In a few moments when we stand up to repeat the words of the Creed, one of the sentences we shall say is : “I believe in one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church”. Now, the word “catholic” just means “universal” or “world -wide”, and there is a “world- wide church” made up…
