Be what you see…
Be what you see; receive what you are.
— Saint Augustine (354-430)
Although we are…
Although we are distinguishable by our very different personalities, as were for instance Peter, or John, or Thomas, or Matthew, yet we are merged as it were in a single body in Christ by feeding on his unifying body.
–Saint Cyril of Alexandria (378-444)
A church that…
Instead of being just a church that welcomes and receives by keeping the doors open, let us try also to be a church that finds new roads, that is able to step outside itself and go to those who do not attend Mass, to those who have quit or are indifferent.
–Pope Francis (1936-
We must restore…
We must restore hope to young people, help the old, be open to the future, spread love. Be poor among the poor. We need to include the excluded and preach peace.
–Pope Francis (1936-
We are not…
We are not on earth to guard a museum, but to tend a blooming garden full of life.
–Saint John XXIII (1881 – 1963)
But the Church…
You could say to me, “But the Church is made up of sinners; we see them every day.” And this is true: we are a Church of sinners. And we sinners are called to let ourselves be transformed, renewed, sanctified by God.
–Pope Francis (1936-
