Matt 28:18-20
“28:18. And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to
me in heaven and in earth.
All power, etc. . .See here the warrant and commission of the apostles
and their successors, the bishops and pastors of Christ's church. He
received from his Father all power in heaven and in earth: and in
virtue of
this power, he sends them (even as his Father sent him, St.
John 20. 21) to teach and disciple, not one, but all nations; and
instruct them in all truths: and that he may assist them effectually in
the execution of this commission, he promises to be with them, not for
three or four hundred years only, but all days, even to the
consummation of the world. How then could the Catholic Church ever go
astray; having always with her pastors, as is here promised, Christ
himself, who is the way, the truth, and the life. St. John 14.
28:19. Going therefore, teach ye all nations: baptizing them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
28:20. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded
you. And behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the
world.”
