Summary
Highlights
The church is a great hospital where Jesus heals our heart wounds and a large family of God's sons and daughters. Families meet, share, and need a home. Since Jesus’ family is so large and spans the globe, he has many homes around the world, which are called churches. These can be tiny, medium, or large, including cathedrals, basilicas, sanctuaries, chapels, and oratories. The closest one to our home is called a parish. Masses are held in Jesus' churches, which are ceremonies of encounter where we visit him in his house, and he visits us in our souls, bringing peace.
Inside Jesus's houses, there's a small room called the tabernacle where he lives. To find it, look for a lit red candle or light, which indicates Jesus is present. Just as we greet a person when visiting their home, we should greet Jesus upon entering his house with loving words in our hearts. Since we cannot embrace him physically, we perform a gesture of kneeling, lowering one knee to the ground, to symbolize our belief in his presence and divinity.
After greeting Jesus, we find a seat and pay close attention because Jesus will speak to us through the priest. The priest begins Mass with a prayer and the sign of the cross in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, to which everyone responds. The video ends by assigning the task of finding the nearest church or parish and looking for the lit lamp that indicates Jesus's presence in the tabernacle, calling it the 'treasure hunt.'
