Heart Calling to Heart.
Friendship, marriage, family, religious life, and every other form of community is the grateful recognition of God’s call to share life together and the joyful offering of a hospitable space where the re-creating power of God’s Spirit can become manifest.
Thus all forms of life together can become ways to reveal to each other the real presence of God in our midst.
Community embraces all people, whatever their individual differences may be, and allows them to live together as brothers and sisters of Christ and sons and daughters of his heavenly Father.

Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church - Be present to the Presence
The great paradox of God’s kingdom is often expressed in the teachings of Jesus: The blind see, the lame walk, the deaf hear, the last are first, the dead live. The first and most profound paradox is that the Virgin conceives. Our Blessed Mother experienced the coming Kingdom in her own body. She shares that experience with us in our communion with the Lord. We carry the Real Presence of the Savior in our own bodies. The ongoing paradox is that the Lord calls us, to be the vessels of his presence in the world.
“So let us look once more to the origins, to Mary and John at the foot of the cross. At the very source of the Church is the act of their entrustment to one another. The Lord entrusts each of them to the care of the other: John to Mary and Mary to John, with the result that, ‘from that hour the disciple took her to his own home’. Going back to the beginning also means developing the art of welcoming. Jesus’ words from the cross, spoken to his Mother and to John, summon us to make welcome the hallmark of our discipleship. Indeed, this was no simple act of piety, whereby Jesus entrusted his Mother to John so that she would not remain alone after his death. Instead, John’s welcoming of Mary into his home was a concrete sign of how we should live the supreme commandment of love. The worship of God takes place through closeness to our brothers and sisters.
How important in the Church is fraternal love and the welcome we show to our neighbour! The Lord reminds us of this at the ‘hour’ of the cross, in entrusting Mary and John to each other’s care. He urges the Christian community of every age not to lose sight of this priority: ‘Behold, your son’, ‘Behold, your Mother’. It is as if he said, ‘You have been saved by the same blood, you are one family, so welcome each other, love one another, heal each other’s wounds’. Leaving behind suspicions, divisions, rumours, gossip and mistrust. Brothers and sisters, ‘journey together’. For God is present wherever love reigns!” - Pope Francis

FEAST OF MARY, MOTHER OF THE CHURCH
“Mary’s love for all humanity directs the love of the Church and shows the Church how to take care of her children.” Pope Francis
A mother holds a child in all circumstances. When the child is angry, happy, excited, sad, or showing any other emotion, the warmth of the mother’s arms are always a fitting response because it is an act deeply rooted in love. Mary’s example of faith rooted in love continues to inspire the Church to this very day. She is a model for all believers and from her we learn how to live life as a disciple of Christ, a life rooted in love. And we will learn from Mary more readily when we allow her to be our mother, doing as St. John did, and taking Mary into our homes. Ask her to be your mother. Talk to her as your mother. Because that is who she is — she is our mother, and the Mother of the Church.
-Pope Francis

Love it.
276... [The Church] works for “the advancement of humanity and of universal fraternity”.[268]
She offers herself as “a family among families, this is the Church,
open to bearing witness in today’s world, open to faith hope and love
for the Lord and for those whom he loves with a preferential love.
A home with open doors.
The Church is a home with open doors, because she is a mother”.[269] And in imitation of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, “we want to be a Church that serves, that leaves home and goes forth from its places of worship, goes forth from its sacristies, in order to accompany life, to sustain hope, to be the sign of unity… to build bridges, to break down walls, to sow seeds of reconciliation”.[270]

Prayer is to be Shared
Much that has been said about prayer might create the false impression that prayer is a private, individualistic, and nearly secret affair, so personal and so deeply hidden in our inner life that it can hardly be talked about, even less be shared. The opposite is true. Just because prayer is so personal and arises from the center of our life, it is to be shared with others. Just because prayer is the most precious expression of being human, it needs the constant support and protection of the community to grow and flower. Just because prayer is our highest vocation, needing careful attention and faithful perseverance, we cannot allow it to be a private affair. Just because prayer asks for a patient waiting in expectation, it should never become the most individualistic expression of the most individualistic emotion, but should always remain embedded in the life of the community of which we are part.
