As you know, we are not under the auspice of Rome.
We, as the Ecumenical Catholic Church of Christ are an independent Catholic Church Union,
rightfully and valid next to all major Catholic Denominations.
We have earned the respected of several Roman bishops and clergy, yet we are not under their Mandate.
In the Holy Eucharist Canons, our bishops and priests pray,
"...for your servant, our Ecumenical Primate Karl. For the
Bishop of Rome, Pope Benedict. For the Patriarch of the East, Bartholomew.
For the Anglican Primate, Rowan (beginning in March, "Justin") and all Church leaders."
In Christ's Love

A thought with you all on the way into 2012
Teresa’s prayer:
May nothing disturb you.
May nothing astonish you.
Everything passes.
God does not go away.
Patience
can attain anything.
He who has God within,
does not lack anything.
God is enough.
Larga version:
Oración Nada te turbe
Santa Teresa de Ávila
Nada te turbe,
Nada te espante
todo se pasa
Dios no se muda
La paciencia
todo lo alcanza
quien a Dios tiene
nada le falta
Sólo Dios basta.
Eleva el pensamiento,
al cielo sube,
por nada te acongojes,
nada te turbe.
A Jesucristo sigue
con pecho grande,
y, venga lo que venga
nada te espante.
¿Ves la gloria del mundo?
es gloria vana;
Nada tiene de estable,
todo se pasa.
Aspira a lo celeste,
que siempre dura;
fiel y rico es promesas,
Dios no se muda.
Ámala cual se merece,
Bondad inmensa;
pero no hay amor fino
sin la paciencia.
Confianza y fe viva
mantenga el alma,
que quien cree y espera
todo lo alcanza.
Del infierno acosado
aunque se viere,
burlará sus furores
quien a Dios tiene.
Vénganle desamparos,
cruces, desgracias;
siendo Dios su tesoro,
nada le falta.
Id, pues, bienes del mundo,
Id, dichas vanas;
aunque todo lo pierda
Sólo Dios basta.
Be all blessed in the most Holy Trinity
Yours

Christmas, Navidad A. D. 2011
Hodie, Christus Natus est, Hallelujah,Hallelujah.
Pax Hominibus bonae voluntatis.
Gloria in Exelsis Deo!
Merry Christmas!
Peace and Joy to you all, dear brothers and sisters, friends near and afar!
As we celebrate Christ's Incarnation, the Son of God, our Savior, the light of the World, the King of Peace,
King of Kings, brother, sacrificial Lamp... We are reminded that his coming again in Glory is our life time to live for.
You, our worldwide missionaries, your families and friends, serve God and so many people
in your pastoral care that calls to mind the way the early Christians lived, sharing the gifts of the Holy Spirit,
becoming more Christlike, being less part of a material world which has become more and more a society of death.
Everywhere we look, we see wars, famine, disasters, and crimes against humanity. Yet as Christians,
we do not lose hope, because we believe that God's message from Bethlehem is about Justice to the poor,
feeding the hungry, caring for the ill, and live towards Peace with God, caring for our neighbor and Nature.
On this special occasion, I wanted to thank you all for your commitment to our worldwide Church that has seen a year of growth,
a time where more people found a new church home, a place they can celebrate the mysteries of God without fear.
It is because of Christ who shows through you all that we live this new loving family of faith!
May Christ in his birth show us that we are not alone in this world, and that we can fight the destructiveness of the soul.
Let us always be reminded that love can not be just an intellectual exercise.
The beauty of our soul grows with the manifestation that God, the Creator, sent HIS Son
to save us, to complete our longing for true love and peace, because he showed us the WAY!
May Christ be born into our hearts, so we know that we are in the save hands of our loving GOD.
Wishing you all a joyous celebration of the birth of Christ.
May Christ in his Second Coming take us all home to God.
May the New Year A. D. 2012 bring you all closer to Christ.
With my prayers and benedictions
And Greetings to you all and your loved ones
yours,
++Karl

Feliz Navidad!
Paz y alegría a todos vosotros, queridos hermanos y hermanas,
amigos de cerca y de lejos!Al celebrar la Encarnación de Cristo, el Hijo de Dios, nuestro Salvador, la Luz del mundo, el Rey de la Paz,
el Rey de Reyes, el Hermano, la Lámpara del sacrificio…. se nos recuerda que el tiempo que falta
para la segunda venida gloriosa, parusía, es el mismo que nos queda aún por vivir aquí en la Tierra.
Vosotros, misioneros en todo el mundo, junto con vuestras familias y amigos, sirviendo a Dios y a tanta gente
mediante vuestros cuidados pastorales, hacéis memoria del camino seguido por los primitivos cristianos,
compartiendo los dones del Espíritu Santo y tratando de configuraros con Cristo, viviendo en este mundo
como si no fueseis de este mundo tan materialista e inmersos en una cultura de muerte y no de vida eterna.
Dondequiera que miremos, tan solo vemos guerras, hambre, desastres y crímenes contra la humanidad.
Sin embargo como cristianos, conviene que no perdamos la esperanza, porque creemos en el mensaje de Dios anunciado en Belén:
justicia para los pobres, alimento para los hambrientos, cuidado amoroso a los enfermos,
vivir en paz con Dios y con nuestro prójimo y cuidar y contemplar la naturaleza.
En esta ocasión tan especial, querría dar las gracias a todos aquellos que con su compromiso
han hecho posible que nuestra Iglesia creciera tanto a lo largo de este año, en el que tanta gente ha encontrado
una nueva Iglesia donde celebrar los misterios de Dios, sin temor alguno.
Es por causa de Cristo, el cual se manifiesta a través de todos nosotros
que conformamos esta nueva amorosa familia bajo el signo de la fe.
Que el nacimiento de Cristo, nos muestre que nos estamos solos en este mundo
y que somos capaces de luchar contra la destrucción de nuestra alma.
Recordemos siempre que el amor no es solo un ejercicio intelectual.
La belleza de nuestra alma crece si manifestamos que Dios, el Creador, envió a Su Hijo para salvarnos
y colmar nuestros anhelos de vivir el verdadero amor y la auténtica paz, siguiendo el CAMINO que el mismo nos enseñó.
Que Cristo nazca en nuestros corazones, para que nos sintamos en las amorosas manos de nuestro amado DIOS.
Os deseo a todos una gozosa celebración del Nacimiento de Cristo.
Que Cristo en su Segunda Venida nos lleve a todos con él a la Casa del Padre.
Que el Año Nuevo del Señor 2012, nos acerque mucho más a Cristo.
Con mis oraciones y bendiciones y mis afectuosos saludos para todos vosotros y vuestros seres queridos.
Vuestro

Peace to you, brothers and sisters!
As the Church's liturgical year with the readings A has come to a close, we are mindful for all the gifts that God has bestowed on all of us. Your ministry is a journey following the footsteps of Christ to Calvary, and yet in the highlights of your personal relationship with God, you see the guiding light that has showed you the way toward the heavenly Kingdom to be united with Christ and all those who have gone before us in faith, hope and love.
May Christ the King always be with us in our endeavors, no matter where we serve HIM, and may we all receive the rewards that he has prepared for us being a good servant.
We are all deeply grateful for the good work and the love we were able to show through our ministry in the ECCC, where so many people have found a new place to worship, to find consolation, to be able to build new loving and caring congregations.
In retrospect, we see that throughout the year there was always God's guiding hand around us, and we realize how inspiring it is to praise God, and to be a new family in HIS presence.
May these days of the new Advent prepare us ever more to celebrate the birth of Christ with an inner joy that has not been known to us.
May you all be blessed in this Advent Season, and may Christ lead us!
With my prayers and benedictions
Yours, in Christ, the King

Paz a vosotros, hermanos y hermanas!
Como la Iglesia con las lecturas del año liturgico A ha llegado a su fin, somos conscientes de todos los dones que Dios ha concedido a todos nosotros. Su ministerio es un camino siguiendo las huellas de Cristo hacia la cruz del Calvario, y aún en los momentos culminantes de su relación personal con Dios, ve la luz que ha mostrado el camino hacia el Reino de los cielos a permanecer unidos a Cristo y a todos aquellos que nos han precedido en la fe, esperanza y amor.
Que Cristo, el Rey sea siempre con nosotros en nuestros esfuerzos, no importa donde servimos él, y ojalá todos reciben los beneficios que él ha preparado para nosotros como un buen siervo.
Todos estamos profundamente agradecidos por la buena labor y el amor que nos pudieron mostrar a través de nuestro ministerio en la ICEC, donde tantas personas han encontrado un nuevo lugar para el culto, para encontrar consuelo, para poder construir nuevas congregaciones amar y cuidar.
Mirando hacia atrás, vemos que en todo el año siempre había Dios guía la mano alrededor de nosotros, y nos damos cuenta de cuánto inspiradora es de alabar a Dios, y para ser una nueva familia en su presencia.
Ojalá que estos días del nuevo Adviento nos preparamos cada vez más para celebrar el nacimiento de Cristo con una alegría interior, que no ha sido conocido por nosotros.
Que todos sean bendecidos en este tiempo de Adviento,
y que Cristo nos llevan!
Con mis oraciones y bendiciones el suyo, en Cristo, el Rey

Sending you all greetings and benedictions on this day of the Archangel St. Michael. May he protect our Church in the struggle of this world.
I would like to sent you NEWS from our worldwide ECCC.
We are always grateful for the good work that the Lord is showing through your ministry and the good people serving everywhere!

We have appointed
Fr. Bagrat Mamasahlisi
to be the first Vicar General for the ECCC in the Republic of Georgia. (He is also a lawyer which comes very handy for local church affairs.)
The Church Name, "Ecclesia Catholica Ecumenica Christi" reads in the local language "ქრისტეს ეკუმენური კათოლიკური ეკლესია".
Welcome to all of your good people!! May you grow with many blessings bestowed on you by our heavenly Father, and may our prayers be with you all!

Emmanuel who is right now in Ghana for the transfer of the headquarters to Liberia. The difficult political situation with the refugees has made it impossible to have the church headquarters for West Africa in Ghana. He will keep the missions alive there. Besides his church in Liberia and Sierra Leone,
he is serving so many refugees in Ghana.
Our prayers are with you all of the ECCC in West Africa!
