Sweeney: “If you want to see how to fulfill the will of God, look no further than Mary,” Sweeney said. “She is the first Christian, the ideal Christian and the Christian who brings Christ to all Christians. She has such an exalted position because of her humility in accepting and carrying out God’s will. We can learn so much from her life, which was a continual devotion to Christ. As the saying goes, ‘No Mary, no Jesus. Know Mary, know Jesus.’”
“It’s important to realize that Jesus Christ founded the Catholic Church,” the former Royals first baseman emphasized. “The Catholic Church is the home of those who want to follow Christ to the fullest. It’s more than just picking the correct group, though; it’s about being a living member of the body of Christ. It’s about the intimate union we have with Our Savior in the Eucharist, when we literally have the blood of God Incarnate running through our veins. It’s not possible to be closer to Jesus in this life.” Read more here.
