MISSION
The mission of Thy Kingdom Come is to promote a renewal of love for the Catholic Church by deepening the commitment and understanding of the people of God. With this renewed commitment, we aim to open and strengthen society’s participation in the Christian life, and establish a sense of hope in the future of the Catholic Church.
We believe that only through personal relationships can a sense of community be reestablished that will awaken in lay people the commitment to follow through on their path to holiness with a sense of purpose, humility and joyful anticipation. We hope that our projects will provide an opportunity to create these relationships in local communities.
Though many educational opportunities exist in the Church, many lay people do not take advantage of these opportunities. To accomplish our goals, our material must be in a format that is easy to access, simple to navigate, visually appealing, emotionally moving and, most importantly, compiled into truth-filled presentations.
Over time, Thy Kingdom Come will create projects that will be an invaluable resource to the Church, both pastors and lay faithful, and society.
WHAT'S IN THE NAME?
The name "Thy Kingdom Come" came from Christ’s answer to the Apostles when they asked Him to "teach us to pray" and he gave us the "Lord’s Prayer" or "The Our Father".
OUR LOGO - ELEMENTS DEFINED
Our logo consists of twelve spires on the flame representing the 12 chosen Apostles. The long spire represents all of humanity. The colors selected are red for Christ's sacrifice for each of us and gold for His Kingdom, since He reigns over all creation.
ABOUT
Thy Kingdom Come is a non-profit organization that was created to help educate about specific elements of the Catholic Faith though the effective use of technology.
LEGAL STATEMENT
Thy Kingdom Come is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization that was created to enlighten society on certain truths of the Catholic Faith. We utilize all forms of media to communicate these teaching’s including video, audio, music, and the Internet. The company's charter is based on evidence that many of the teaching's of the Church remain inaccessible to the lay person. Our mission is to bridge that gap through training and by educating in these areas while leveraging the technology available.
THY KINGDOM COME & THE MAGISTERIUM OF THE CHURCH
Thy Kingdom Come is in complete communion with the teachings of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. Our goal is always to walk in step with the Church.
Christ established the teaching authority or Magisterium in his Church to safeguard the real substance of the Faith,and to prevent the individual from being entirely left on his own.
The Magisterium is at the service of the very heart and essence of the Church, which is to proclaim the Good News of Jesus faithfully. The Church takes the teachings of Christ and the doctrine taught by the Apostles, hands them down faithfully, with the assistance of the Holy Spirit, and calls upon all to place their faith in these teachings. The New Testament attests to this in the formation of the apostolic college. The community of Apostles, when it taught as a unified body under Peter, attested to the truth of Christ, and they spoke authoritatively of Him. It was to the Apostles that the authoritative teachings of the Kingdom were given in their fullness, and they were the closest eyewitnesses to Jesus. By the end of the Apostolic era, it was the bishops, appointed under the authority of the Apostles as their successors, who were the final arbiter of faith and doctrine, under the primacy of the Bishop of Rome, the Pope.
The Magisterium exists to protect the authentic teachings of Christ until the end of time.
