Jesus did not just save souls, He saved lives! Jesus continues to save lives through the mission of the Church, and the arena for that salvation is the local community. Jesus does not merely stand for and provide “eternal life”; Jesus stands for and provides quality of life – if that is difficult to accept, leaf through the pages of the Gospels and encounter the lepers restored to full community and life in society, the woman cut off from others because of chronic bleeding, the deaf who hear, the blind who see, the sick who are healed, the hungry who are fed, the paralytics who are able to walk – all of these had life, and many if not all had access to eternal life, but Jesus is “ABUNDANT LIFE”; Jesus is QUALITY OF LIFE! ~ The Very Reverend and Future Saint R. Joseph Ignatius-Francis Owles
