On the inside front cover of this booklet is the Rescript, the Catholic Church's Permission to Publish. Before One Bread, One Body is printed, the Church reviews this booklet to ensure it is free of doctrinal or moral error. When the booklet is error-free, "free from any lie" (1 Jn 2:27), the Church grants Permission to Publish. (Until recently, Permission to Publish was called the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur.) At Presentation Ministries, remaining safely under Church authority is how we remain in Jesus, as the anointing of the Holy Spirit taught us (1 Jn 2:27).
St. John says that if the anointing you received from Jesus remains in you, then "you have no need for anyone to teach you" (1 Jn 2:27). Then why read this booklet?
"Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ" (Catechism, 133). If we're ignorant of Him, we cannot "remain in Him" (1 Jn 2:28). Read God's Word daily, and remain in Jesus.
| PRAYER: | Jesus, keep me faithful to Your teaching and never let me be parted from You. |
| PROMISE: | His "promise is no less than this: eternal life." –1 Jn 2:25 |
| PRAISE: | By the power of the Holy Spirit, St. Basil protected his diocese from heresy. |
