From Paul Welch, Office of Social Action Ministry
Pope Francis speaks on the Church
· Cannot risk becoming “static” but must continue as a
“missionary church that walks with her Lord through the
streets of the world.”
· Not to remain in a state of “blindness” to the issues in
the church and the world, a blindness that can take the
form of embracing worldliness, placing a premium on
comfort or having a closed heart.
· “We follow the Lord along the way, we do not follow
him closed in our communities, we do not follow him in
the labyrinths of our ideas,” he said. “Let us remember
never to walk alone or according to worldly criteria, but
instead to journey together, behind him and alongside
him.”
Christ is being crucified in the Holy Land. Will you respond?
