Gay Meeting Hyderabad

Why you gave me this church, Lord? Finding the center

Church who are you? This is the question we should ask to understand what the Church is and why Jesus conceived it as is. Our dear Enza, today, leads us to reflect on this:


If we wanted to do a poll asking, "What is the Church?" Of course nobody should be surprised if we found the first place among the responses identified a Church with priests, Pope, and hierarchies. In second place was probably we would be given a geographical location. We should not be surprising, indeed, because if not we could not tell us how many, who call themselves religious, I want to quickly point out: "God, but the Church ... ..!". but not enough, because the same question some have even said, "Church, but God ... .. do not really know." But then, maybe the question should be: "the Church who are you?".
Lord, when the voice of screams seem louder ... ...
When the confusion language we lose ... ..
When we recognize your voice ... ..
Support our fragility.

Why you gave me this church, Lord, whose wealth shocked me, the hypocrisy that bothers me, whose ambiguity confuses me?
Because I have given this community, "Lord, why these people, who I know the flaws, of which annoy me the limits of which the choices confuse me sometimes?
Why do not you give me a perfect church, a church exciting companions on the road to admire and infallible ... ..?
smile and I pray, O Lord, Thy wise fascinates me gently. In a perfect church, no wrinkles, what place for me, so imperfect? In a community of pure and holy, how I would live in the solitude My poverty, what a shame my weakness!
Lord, you love us despite our poverty.
Lord, you love us for our poverty.
Lord, you love us through our poverty.
Lord, we thank you for this!
