“The Church is a Field Hospital at the
scene of a Battle.”
--His Holiness, Pope Francis
“The Church is called to be the house of the Father, with
doors always wide open. One concrete sign of such
openness is that our church doors should always be
open, so that if someone, moved by the Spirit, come
there looking for God, he or she will not find a closed
door. There are other doors that should not be closed
either. Everyone can share in some way in the life of
the Church: everyone can be part of the community, nor
should the doors of the sacraments be closed for simply
any reason. This is especially true of the sacrament
which is itself “the door”: Baptism. The Eucharist,
although it is the fullness of sacramental life, is not a
prize for the perfect but a powerful medicine and
nourishment for the weak. The convictions have
pastoral consequences that we are called to consider
with prudence and boldness. Frequently, we act as
arbiters of grace rather than its facilitators. But the
Church is not a tollhouse; it is the house of the Father,
where there is a place for everyone, with all their
problems.” --His Holiness, Pope Frances, The Joy of the
Gospel (Evangelii Gaudium)

Whoever has God wants for nothing.
God alone suffices.

pilgrimage to St. Augustine. Be on the

excursion in late October, 2016.
Also, the CCW will not meet this summer
but will resume meetings in September.

IL PAPA FRANCISCO: LA IGLESIA
Y LA MISRICORDIA
“La Iglesia tiene la misión de anunciar la
misericordia de Dios, corazón palpitante del
Evangelio, que por su medio debe alcanzar la
mente y el corazón de toda persona. La Esposa
de Cristo hace suyo el comportamiento del
Hijo de Dios que sale a encontrar a todos, sin
excluir ninguno. En nuestro tiempo, en el que
la Iglesia está comprometida en la nueva
evangelización, el tema de la misericordia
exige ser propuesto una vez más con nuevo
entusiasmo y con una renovada acción pastoral.
Es determinante para la Iglesia y para la
credibilidad de su anuncio que ella viva y
testimonie en primera persona la misericordia.
Su lenguaje y sus gestos deben transmitir
misericordia para penetrar en el corazón de las
personas y motivarlas a reencontrar el camino
de vuelta al Padre.
La primera verdad de la Iglesia es el amor de
Cristo. De este amor, que llega hasta el perdón
y al don de sí, la Iglesia se hace sierva y
mediadora ante los hombres. Por tanto, donde
la Iglesia esté presente, allí debe ser evidente la
misericordia del Padre. En nuestras parroquias,
en las comunidades, en las asociaciones y
movimientos, en fin, dondequiera que haya
cristianos, cualquiera debería poder encontrar
un oasis de misericordia.”
--Roma, junto a San Pedro, el 11 de abril,
Vigilia del Segundo Domingo de Pascua o de
la Divina Misericordia, del Año del Señor 2015
