The Little Church
Pope Francis’ vision for the Church is the Church of Mercy. He describes it this way, “The thing the church needs most today is the ability to heal wounds and to warm the hearts of the faithful; it needs nearness, proximity. I see the church as a field hospital after battle. It is useless to ask a seriously injured person if he has high cholesterol and about the level of his blood sugars! You have to heal his wounds. Then we can talk about everything else. Heal the wounds, heal the wounds. ... And you have to start from the ground up.” In this talk, we look at the Church of Mercy as the little church that does three things intentionally and faithfully well. Come learn what these are and where you and your church find itself.
