"Time is short.
We don't know how long life will last.
And so…
Meet your friends.
Meet people and utter words of
forgiveness, understanding.
Untie your heart, let it beat
again.
Let the heart of stone
become a heart of flesh.
Let it live."
- Cardinal Tagle

Community Makes God Visible
Nothing is sweet or easy about community. Community is a fellowship of people who do not hide their joys and sorrows but make them visible to each other as a gesture of hope.
In community we say: “Life is full of gains and losses, joys and sorrows, ups and downs—but we do not have to live it alone. We want to drink our cup together and thus celebrate the truth that the wounds of our individual lives, which seem intolerable when lived alone, become sources of healing when we live them as part of a fellowship of mutual care.”
Community is like a large mosaic. Each little piece seems so insignificant. One piece is bright red, another cold blue or dull green, another warm purple, another sharp yellow, another shining gold. Some look precious, others ordinary. Some look valuable, others worthless. Some look gaudy, others delicate. We can do little with them as individual stones except compare them and judge their beauty and value. When, however, all these little stones are brought together in one big mosaic, portraying the face of Christ, who would ever question the importance of any one of them? If one of them, even the least spectacular one, is missing, the face is incomplete. Together in the one mosaic, each little stone is indispensable and makes a unique contribution to the glory of God. That’s community, a fellowship of little people who together make God visible in the world.
-Henri Nouwen
Jesus, King of the Universe, the Light beyond all light, enlightening us…
You whose Mercy forgives all who come to you…
You who so loved the world…
You who blesses with Peace those that follow You…
You, the healer of our souls…
You in whom we live and move and have our being…
You who teaches us that to reign is to serve…
You who judges us good by how we treat the least…
You who lives and dwells among us & within us…
You whose Love is everlasting…
You who shepherd us with steadfast kindness…
You, true Bread of life who calls us to Your table…
Lord Jesus Christ, rule in our hearts,
Lord Jesus Christ, hold us steady to follow your way,
Lord Jesus Christ, may our lives proclaim your Peaceable Kingdom.
BLESSED FEAST OF CHRIST THE KING
Our true worth does not consist in what human beings think of us. What we really are consists in what God knows us to be.
