Key Ideas
1. The Church is the people united with God
The Church is the people of God united with each other and united with God. St Paul wrote, "Together you are the body of Christ. Each one of you is part of his body." (1 Corinthains 12:27).
2. We all have a responsibility in the Church
To be a Christian means being part of church. The community of believers is the church, in communion with each other and with God. Every member of the church has a part to play.
3. There are formal responsibilities in the Church
4. The mission of the Church is to bring about the Kingdom of God on Earth.
"Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." God's will being done on earth would look something like the early Christian communities described in the Acts of the Apostles:

Mariner's Prayer
Our Lady, Star of the Sea, Mother of God and our Mother, you know all the dangers of soul and body that threaten mariners.
Protect your sons and daughters who work and travel on the waters of the world, and protect also their families that await their return.
Star of the Sea, Mother of the Church, give light and strength to those chaplains and lay ministers who bring the love of your Divine Son among mariners.
Fill their hearts with a supernatural and life-giving zeal for the apostolate.
Star of the Sea, light shining in the darkness, be a guide to those who sail amid the storms and dangers of life.
Enlighten the hearts of ardent disciples and bring us all to the safety of heaven’s port.
