Negative Feelings Choke The Lord’s Word In

To Follow Jesus Means To Share His Merciful Love For Every Human Being.

I Want To Remind Priests That The Confessional Must Not Be A Torture Chamber But Rather An Encounter With The Lord’s Mercy Which Spurs Us On To Do Our Best. A Small Step, In The Midst Of Great Human Limitations, Can Be More Pleasing To God Than A Life Which Appears Outwardly In Order But Moves Through The Day Without Confronting Great Difficulties. Everyone Needs To Be Touched By The Comfort And Attraction Of God’s Saving Love, Which Is Mysteriously At Work In Each Person, Above And Beyond Their Faults And Failings.

Negative Feelings Choke The Lord’s Word In Us.

Whenever People Listen To One Another Humbly And Openly, Their Shared Values And Aspirations Become All The More Apparent. Diversity Is No Longer Seen As A Threat, But As A Source Of Enrichment.

You Can't Have Christ Without The Church.
