O King of all the nations,
the only joy of every human heart;
the only joy of every human heart;
O Keystone of the mighty arch of man:
Come and save the creature
you fashioned from the dust.
you fashioned from the dust.
Isaiah 2: 4, 11: 10
Psalm 47: 8 ; Jeremiah 10: 7
Psalm 47: 8 ; Jeremiah 10: 7
Daniel 7: 14 ; Haggai 2: 8
Romans 15: 12
Ephesians 2: 14, 20
The word 'catholic' means universal... and Catholic Christianity is not to be confined by any boundaries of nation or race, status or language. Jesus came to save all people by showing us the way to live that brings peace. The "king of all nations" chose to rule through humble service.
He gives us a law of love that leads to freedom, not slavish obedience.
Out of love we were created; love is the keystone of our being.
God, who is Love, leads us from selfishness and distrust of the 'other' to the joy of an awareness of the shared redemption of all creation.
