Pope Francis: “The Church is not meant to be a bureaucratic organization,

…..but a Love Story”!

This week the Pope’s twitter page ( Pontifex.com) surpassed 6 million, and people’s enthusiasm for him

shows no sign of dying down. 100 thousand faithful crammed into St. Pius XI Square - which is adjacent to St.

Peter’s Square – to hear his Wednesday General Audience. Wearing his signature black scuffed shoes, Jorge Mario

Bergoglio ( Pope Francis 1) gave his usual kisses to a number of children who were passed to him by the Vatican

police, and rode through the crowd that soon flooded St. Peter’s Square, in the usual open white jeep. Often he

jumped down to greet the faithful and bless the people.

In his customary morning mass Ferverino at St Martha’s house dormitory (where he lives) he said: “When a

Christian community’s disciples grow & multiply this is a good thing,

but we must work to attract more members to help in these efforts.

He explained in depth at his Wednesday audience , “The Church, grows

slowly from below. The path Jesus chose for his Church is a different

one: he chose the difficult path, the path of the Cross, the path of perse-

cution.” This makes us stop and think, “What is this Church? Our

Church? Because it seems like it isn’t a human doing.” The Church is

indeed something quite different: it is not the disciples that made the

Church what it is—they were envoys sent by Jesus. It is this Jesus

Christ, the beloved Son, who is sent to us by the lover our Father”.

COME TO THE: Anointing and

Laying on of Hands.

Friday after 9:00 am Mass.

If the last days of winter, or life in general is getting you

down and you need a special healing please come this

Friday, May 10, 2013 to morning mass. Often we need

soaking prayer to heal our inner conflicts as well as our

physical health. Allow God to help!

After 9:00 am Mass, Father Tom will anoint any of

us who are in need and ask for God’s grace and healing.

These enriching gifts of the Holy Spirit are for anyone

wishing to receive healing prayer of mind, body, & spirit,

or to be faithful during times of struggle. You may also

receive them as a proxy for a family member or friend

who can’t be with us. This is a blessing for those who

need healing in all areas. This very special anointing

happens every 2nd Friday after mass. All are most

welcome to receive ! You don’t have to be gravely ill.

Please join us and celebrate

this wonderful moment with

Jesus. Allow God to lift the

yoke that weighs you down.

Find the grace to bask in the

Light of GOD & discover

the gifts He has for you.

Pope Francis Continued :

“The Church begins there, “in the heart of the

Father, who had this idea . . . of love. So this love

story began, a story that has gone on for so long,

and is not yet ended!

We, the women and men of the Church, we are in

the middle of a love story — each of us is a link in

this chain of love. And if we do not understand this,

we have understood nothing of what the

Church is." “But how does it increase?

Jesus said simply: ‘like the mustard seed!’ Yes, it

grows like yeast in the flour, without noise. When

the Church boasts about its size, creating organiza-

tions & offices - a bureaucracy — she loses her key

substance and runs the risk of turning into a

Non-Government Corporation.

Our Church is not this! It's a love story ...

But there are those who say, “ ... excuse me, eh?

Now some things are necessary, offices are re-

quired!” OK, they are necessary up to a certain

point: as an aid to this love story. But when organi-

zation and legalistic demands take

first place, love falls down and the

Church, poor thing, becomes

entrenched in this legalism —

wounding the loving heart. This is

not the way forward!" Vatican news
