Do you ever think times were so much easier in the early
Church? I mean, today Peter was
rescued from prison by an angel! I
wish I had an angel like that for those 5:00am calls when Fr. Rich is locked in
his room.
While
great miracles happened in the early Church, I would argue the apostles may
have been jealous of us. If the
early Church is an acorn, we would be a well developed oak. And no nostalgic oak tree would want to
go back to being squirrel’s prey!
Yes,
great miracles happened in our early Church. But today we have access to countless more. We now have a mature understanding of
Christ’s continuous miracles in the Sacraments. We have 2000 years experience with the best and brightest
men and women this earth has seen.
We are founded on the witness of the saints and the blood of
martyrs. I bet Peter and the like
would stand back and wonder at the great gift of the Catholic Church.
Perhaps
we should do that today.
