She pecks patiently
grooms the rooster
fluffs up her feathers
to applaud life…
She sits on eggs
warms the chicks
leads to water
to quench their thirst

“Does our Church express the joy of the Gospel? Is there a faith in our communities that can attract by the joy it communicates?… God seems to have disappeared from the horizon, and his word no longer seems a compass guiding our lives, our basic decisions, our human and social relationships. Yet we should be clear about one thing. When we consider the ambient culture, and its variety of languages and symbols, we must be careful not to fall prey to pessimism or resentment, passing immediately to negative judgments or a vain nostalgia.”
Pope Francis
