Saint Bernard Church Pastoral Council |
We, the People of God, in the Parish of Saint Bernard, in union with each other, with our pastor, with the chief shepherd of our diocese, and in union with all the members everywhere of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church founded by Christ and governed by His Vicar, the Bishop of Rome and successor of Saint Peter, do hereby unite to form this Parish Pastoral council.
We do so conscious of the fact that everyone of us is a member of the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians, 14:27) and that in this body “there are different gifts but the same spirit (and) different ministries but the same Lord” (ibid, vv. 4-5). We acknowledge that all Christians are called upon to offer their particular gift of ministry for the service of the whole body, "so that in everything God may receive the glory, through Jesus Christ (1 Peter 4:11)." We do so in response to the Gospel mandate (1) to proclaim in both word and sacrament the arrival of God's reign in, Jesus of Nazareth and (2) to live as witnesses to God's reign, transformed by the spirit into a Community of faith, hope and love and (3) to extend God's reign throughout the world in service to all, but especially the poor.
Finally, aware that without Christ, we can do nothing (John 15:5), we ask for the guidance of the Holy Spirit so that all our words may be spoken and all of our works done in charity and that they contribute to the establishment of God's reign.
