A new way to Be a Church

The Holy Father Pope Francis is setting a new way to be a New Church in modern world. He is making the Gosple of Jesus Christ a reality and putting into practice wherever it is possible. He has already touched the lives of millions of poor across the world. His words and example is making waves. The teachings and sermons all have got the touch and flavour of a poor church for poor people. His visit to the imigrants in Italy has made positive impressions all over. It is the talk of the town. His call to the Church to re-fill the empty convents with the poor and serve them so to touch the flesh of Jesus Christ in poor. This call is really a radical call and I am sure it will be taken up by many likeminded priests and religious. The Church has to be real mother in order to share the love and affection with one and all. The prayer service for peace in Syria has already worked miracle. We know that Syria may not be attacked by America. Who says prayers are not heard or answered. Here is an example! A sincere and genuine prayers are always rewarded. 100,000 people interceding, praising and worshiping along with Pope Francis and Cardinals in St. Peter's square was a strong signal for the powerful that people want peace and not war. Let us all accept the invitation to be a new Church. Let us embrace all. Let the Doors of Christ's love be open for all.
