The gifts of communion.

“Then they brought out the treasures they had with them and offered him gold, incense and myrrh.” (Mt. 2,11)

“God, who are with us and walk by our side, give us today the grace of your light and your Spirit so that we can continue our mission and stand firm in welcoming and listening to everyone, also of those who are different from us.Sert aside from our hearts the violence and attitudes who discriminate and do not recognize the dignity of others. Make our churches welcoming places where celebration and forgiveness, joy and tenderness, strength and faith, are our daily practice, our daily bread, our daily step in Christ Jesus.” Amen.
