The current pandemic has not made it possible to attend Mass in our churches. I share this \u00a0text from Ciara Lubich which reminds us of the promise of Jesus:<\/p>\n
“Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am present among them”<\/strong><\/p>\n
Matthew \u00a018:20<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Even though we may not be physically present to one another, we can make this presence real among us by declaring that we desire that this be a reality with others who declare the same desire. Jesus assures us that he IS present!<\/p>\n
Chiara Lubich writes:<\/p>\n
\nWhat struck me most, perhaps, in looking more into the reality of his presence, was that for him just a few things are enough. All that is needed is two or three people, and wherever he is, he creates what he came on earth to bring us: the Church. And so he aroused within me an immense passion to build thousands and thousands of churches, hundreds of thousands, millions, really millions of churches, made not of stone, but of two or three people united in his name scattered throughout the world. . . .<\/strong><\/h5>\n
The idea of being able to build, with Jesus in person in our midst, an infinite number of churches, is the idea that I find so exhilarating in these days. I would like to communicate it to all of you, to tell you that we have a treasure in our hands…<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Let s make this presence of Jesus a reality wherever we are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
