Saint Matthew Parish recently issued the following announcement.
“Ecumenical and interreligious dialogue is not a luxury. It is not something extra or optional, but essential, something which our world, wounded by conflict and division, increasingly needs. Indeed, religious beliefs and practice condition who we are and how we understand the world around us. They are for us a source of enlightenment, wisdom and solidarity and thus enrich the societies in which we live. By caring for the spiritual growth of our communities, by forming minds and hearts in the truths and values taught by our religious traditions, we become a blessing to the communities in which our people live.” — Pope Francis
Reflection: How do your religious beliefs and practices influence how you see yourself and world around you? What do you know about the current state of ecumenical and interreligious dialogue in the Church? Do you include these essential works in your prayer? How, if at all, are you involved in caring for the spiritual growth of our communities?
