"I am the bread of life

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.

The Signs Of The Times

Ø It’s O.K. to be mad at people who refuse to get vaccinated. (But you should pray for them, too.)

Ø Public protest or selfish ratbaggery? Why free speech doesn’t give you the right to endanger other people’s health
