“Every family has to be traced back to its origins. That is why we can say that all these great churches constitute one original Church of the apostles; for it is from them that they all come.”

                                                                                               -Tertullian

For Reflection: 

Consider the “family tree” of our faith from its beginnings in Jesus Christ to the present day. Rejoice at the great favor of our spiritual ancestry and the heritage that is ours. Offer a prayer to our Father in Heaven Who has given us such a great patrimony.
