I ask the Holy Spirit to grant us the grace to enter the Heart of Christ. I do this, because our tiny Maronite Church in Cyprus has great need of this grace. Since it is the work of the Holy Spirit to unite us to Christ, may He open our hearts to one another. “It is only by starting from the heart that our communities will succeed in uniting and reconciling differing minds and wills, that the Spirit can guide us in unity as brother and sisters. Reconciliation and peace are also born of the heart. The heart of Christ is ‘ecstasy’, openness, gift and encounter. In that heart, we learn to relate to one another in wholesome and happy ways, and to build up in this world God’s kingdom of love and justice. Our hearts, united with the Heart of Christ, are capable of working this social miracle.” #28, Dilexit Nos, Pope Francis
