Listen. Hope. Share.
See Christ in the Liturgy:
Comments from Pope Leo XIV, from last summer – then Cardinal Robert Prevost – during an evening reflection at a suburban Chicago parish give us a glimpse of the Holy Father’s heart.
Listen to the Word of God
“Let’s go back to listening to the word of God. Let’s go back to understanding what it means to be authentic community, communion, parish community, where we care about one another, and we recognize as the Lord promised, ‘Where two or three (are) gathered in my name, there I am in, their midst,’ and we say, ‘We have a message, as believing Catholics have a magnificent message.'”
Jubilee Year of Hope
“We can live jubilee right here, and we can live hope when in our hearts we recognize that everything does not have to be doom and gloom and the pessimism which sometimes comes over us; it can truly color our vision.”
National Eucharistic Revival
“There are dynamic, life-giving experiences (like the National Eucharistic Congress) that do fill us with hope, and we have to learn to share that message with others — it depends on all of us.”
“There’s a lot of good things going on, a lot of hope-filled things that each and every one of us can take part in (the National Eucharistic Revival/Mission).”
Beautiful Liturgy Strengthens Us
“We all need to see Christ among us and Christ transfigured. We all need that special boost that helps us in our faith…. The experience of celebrating our faith together can truly be, liturgy needs to be beautiful so that will help us, strengthen us in our faith.”
