Memorial of Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus
Amidst the discussion buzzing around our Pope Francis, it seems there are a couple of things that can be said, with confidence, about his vision for our Church. First, he wishes for us, his flock, to proclaim the Gospel in both word and deed. Second, he wishes for us to welcome any and all who would be embraced by the Church. Reflecting on today’s passages, I was struck by how profoundly they resonate with this simple but also challenging vision.
