SCRIPTURE
I see clearly that the thing the Church needs most today
Is the ability to heal wounds and to warm the hearts of the faithful. I see the Church as a field hospital after battle. It is useless to ask a seriously injured person if he has high cholesterol and about the level of his blood sugars! You have to heal his wounds. Then we can talk about everything else. Heal the wounds, heal the wounds…Pope
Francis in last week’s interview.
. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners………..I tell you there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one repentant sinner than over ninety nine virtuous men who have no need of repentance”.
