While Vatican II may stir up controversy in some Catholic hearts, the document "Lumen Gentium" remains as an integral part of the present-day Church. The Church is the light of the world and we as Catholics must be flickers of light in the misery of darkness. Many topics are discussed varying from obedience to prayer to a Christian rap song.
*Takeaways*
🙏🏻 Obedience and trust in the Church are important, even in the face of challenges and scandals.
🙏🏻 Understanding and living out one's faith in the context of the Church is crucial.
🙏🏻 Each individual has a role to play in contributing to the unity and mission of the Church.
🙏🏻 The Church is set apart and not easily digested by the culture.
🙏🏻 Living out one's faith authentically is a powerful witness to others.
🙏🏻 Regular participation in the sacraments draws us closer to God.
