Just a few
thoughts
·
The Church too must be a large room. Not a small
and closed circle, but a community with arms wide open, welcoming to all. Let
us ask ourselves this question: when someone approaches who is hurting, who has
made a mistake, who has gone astray in life, is the Church, this Church, a room
large enough to welcome this person and lead him or her to the joy of an
encounter with Christ?
Let us not forget that the
Eucharist is meant to nourish those who are weary and hungry along the way. A
Church of the pure and perfect is a room with no place for anyone. On the other
hand, a Church with open doors, that gathers and celebrates around Christ, is a
large room where everyone—everyone, the righteous and sinners—can enter.
