Reflection
 24:  Article 9 of  THE DOGMATIC CONSTITUTION ON THE CHURCH
 


                                       LUMEN GENTIUM
, 1964 

The joint-venture agreement
between God and his spiritual family
was upgraded by Jesus.

Jesus shed his blood
to establish a new and everlasting agreement

Jesus made it clear that the spiritual family
was for Jews and Gentiles.
In other words,
for the whole human family

This family is not related by human blood,
but by the blood of Jesus.
We are not human blood brothers and sisters.
We are brothers and sisters in the Blood of Jesus

We are not related by human DNA,
but by divine DNA - the Holy Spirit

This is how and why we are
"a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people"

Jesus, Brother Jesus!,
please help me understand more deeply
how the Church is meant to be
one big spiritual family,
.... your family
