The Mission of "The American Catholic Church in the United States" is to respond to the command of Jesus the Christ-To Teach, Preach, and To Sanctify. To Teach and Preach love among all people through the Gospel, and to Sanctify through the Seven Sacraments.
The Mission to administer to the People of God, through the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy, which are:
The Corporal Works Of Mercy
_Feed the hungry
Give drink to the thirsty
Clothe the naked
Give shelter to the homeless
Visit the imprisoned
Care for the sick
Bury the dead
The Spiritual Works of Mercy
Admonish the sinner
Instruct the ignorant
Advise the perplexed
Comfort the unhappy
Bear wrongs patiently
Forgive all injuries
Pray for the living and the dead
The Mission to follow the example of its Patron Saint, St. Francis of Assisi, in his prayer of peace:
Lord; make the people of this Church an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred, let us so love
Where there is injury, let us pardon
Where there is doubt, let us show faith
Where there is despair, let us offer hope
Where there is darkness, let us bring light
And where there is sadness, let us bring joy.
We ask the Divine Master, to grant that we many not so much seek to be consoled as to console others;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love
for it is in giving that we will receive, it is in pardoning, that we will be pardoned, and it is in dying that we will be born to eternal life.
