Catechesis for the month of March 2025
The humanity present in our communities should certainly not surprise us, but it ought to empower us, just like Padre Pio’s Prayer Groups, so as to be bearers of charity. Padre Pio said to his spiritual daughters: “Let us love and practise charity, since it is the precept of the divine Master: from here we will distinguish ourselves from the other people, if we love and practise charity.” Our presence in the Church must characterize us as bearers of that charity which has its origins in the shared Word of God. Too often, we tend to speak to others calling them “brother, sister, dearest, etc.”, but often these are only façade words. Each one of these expressions shows our hope and desire for communion and fraternity; we, as Prayer Groups, can be the prophets of these words that become flesh, that become truthful and the fruit of concrete choices.
