Last year, our project in was to make a reflection on one of the sixteen document that the Second Vatican Council produces. I chose Lumen Gentium because my teacher recommented it. The document was long so it gave me more ideas on what to reflect. When I pass it to my teaher and he reads it, he likes it. I was surprised that he likes it more than the others because I thought my classmates can do better than me, but it was actually me that did the best. Maybe there is someone who did better than me like those honor students in my class, but I still did the best. I did put a lot of effort on that piece of writing. Here is the reflection:

The Church is the light of nation because it is the keeper of the mysteries of God and the good news of Jesus Christ. The Church desires to brits, that us held to be a mean of divine grace, is brought into operation. God distributes special graces among the faithful. The laity may not be ordained by Christ, but they seek the kingdom of God by engaging temporal affairs according to the plan of God and it is their task to throw the light upon these affairs in a way that they may come into being and then increase to the praise of the Creator and theng the light of Christ to all by proclaiming the Gospel to every one of us in the whole world in order for us to be faithful and to unite us with God. The mission of the Church is to benefit the faithful by revealing God’s plan of salvation. God the Father create the world to raise us to participate in the divine life. God will never leave us, even after we sinned against Him, and He will continue to help us through salavation, in view Jesus, who is the image of the invisible God. He planned to gather in the Church all those who believe in Christ. God sent Jesus to reveal that God and its mysteries to carry out the will of God. Jesus’ obedience to the Father brought redemption. Jesus preaches the coming of the Kingdom of God and views that Kingdom is open for all. The Word of the Lord is what make them believe and those who believe will become a part of the flock of Christ and will receive the Kingdom itself.

The people of God are not holy without being bond one another. God bring them together as one people to serve Him in truth and holiness. The priest is acting in the person of Chrisr and make present thr Eucharistic sacrament and offers it. The sacraments, that us held to be a mean of divine grace, is brought into operation. God distributes special graces among the faithful. The laity may not be ordained by Christ, but they seek the kingdom of God by engaging temporal affairs according to the plan of God and it is their task to throw the light upon these affairs in a way that they may come into being and then increase to the praise of the Creator and the Redeemer. The Lord instituted in the Chruch a variety of ministries thst work for good.

The Church is believed to be lastingly holy and we gain holiness through the grace of God. Christ who with the Father and the Spirit is praised as uniquely holy, loved the Chruch as His bride. He united her to Himself as His body and brought to perfection by the gift of the Holy Spirit for God’s glory. The Church, to which we are all call in Jesus Christ, will attain its full perfection only in the glory of heaven, when there will come the time of the restoration of all things and that time, the human race and the entire world will be perfectly reestablish in Christ.

The Virgin Mary received the Word of God and gave life to the world. She acknowledged and honored as being truly the Mother of God and the Redeemer. She is the mother of the members of Christ. She is hailed as pre-eminent and singular member of the Church, and as excellent exemplar in faith and charity. The Church honors her with final affection and piety as a most beloved mother.
