Christ is the image of the invisible God. All things hold together in Him. He is the
cosmic
Christ, the Redeemer Who forgives. The Kingdom of Christ is for the poor; the single minded, the innocent and childlike, the pure, joyful, the given abundant life.
Be brave enough to encounter the Kingdom of Christ.

“Every crisis is a possibility and offers opportunities for growth. Every crisis is an openness to the presence of God, openness to humanity. But what does the spirit of evil want us to do? He wants us to turn crisis into conflict, and conflict is always closed in… No. Let us experience a crisis like human persons, like Christians… We realize this if we think back on our own history: in life, often our most important steps forward were taken in the midst of certain crises, in situations of trial, loss of control or insecurity. Then we understand the words of encouragement that Jesus today speaks directly to me, to you, to each one of us: when you see troubling events all around you, while wars and conflicts are on the rise, while earthquakes, famines and plagues are happening, what are you to do; what do I do? Do you distract yourself in order not to think about it? Do you amuse yourself in order not to get involved? Do you turn away in order not to see?… Do you simply resign yourself to what is happening? Or do these situations become opportunities to bear witness to the Gospel?”
Pope Francis
