Have you ever stopped to think about the phrase ". . the Gates of Hell will not prevail against it"?
I think we often think of the Church as standing solid until the return of Christ and any agression by Evil will not harm her.
True. . .
but read the phrase again. The Gates of Hell are not something that will move to attack someone. Gates remain in place. They are a defense.
It really means that the Church is on the move against Evil - no matter where it hides. And when Christianity comes knocking bringing with it the light of Truth and Salvation - the Gates of Hell will not Prevail.
We, as Christians, are not called to stand still but to be agressive and evangelize. Don't play defense, as Catholics we are on offense!
Peace be to you.
