The example of the holy Apostle Andrew tells us that the focus of our life, its core, should be faith in Christ, the hope of the salvation of our souls, the hope that Christ did not just come into this world to save man, but that He came to save each one of us.
The Church is the place where we already foretaste the Heavenly fatherland and where we seek and find our Heavenly Father, and where we truly feel like children of God.
The Holy Church shows us the hosts of saints as an assurance that God really works in His Church, that man’s fallen nature, defaced by sin, deformed by the passions, and bereft of its original integrity, can be nevertheless restored, resurrected, and transfigured in the Body of Christ—the Church.
