“The Church begins there in the heart of the Father, who had this idea . . . of love. So this love story began; a story that has gone on for so long, and is not yet ended. We, the women and men of the Church, we are in the middle of a love story: each of us is a link in this chain of love. And if we do not understand this, we have understood nothing of what the Church is.” (Pope Francis, April 24, 2013 Homily)
