"教会は、すべての人が歓迎され、愛され、許され、福音の良い生活を送るように励まされる場所でなければなりません。"
— Pope Francis
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine a community center that is open to everyone, no matter who they are or what they've done in the past. When people walk in, they are greeted with warm smiles and are made to feel like they belong. If they are carrying heavy burdens, people listen and offer kind words without judging them. Those who have made mistakes are not shamed but are instead given a second chance to start over. In this environment, people are inspired to become better versions of themselves and to live according to good principles, like being kind and helping others. This is what a church should be like—a place where love and forgiveness are freely given, and everyone finds hope and support to lead a better life.
