“Being Church means being

God’s people, in accordance

with the great plan of his fatherly

love. This means that we are to be

God’s leaven in the midst of

humanity. It means proclaiming

and bringing God’s

salvation

into our world, which often goes astray and needs to be

encouraged, given hope and strengthened on the way.

The Church must be a place of

mercy freely given,

where everyone can feel

welcomed, loved, forgiven

and encouraged to live the

good life of the Gospel.”

Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium of The Holy Father Francis

to the bishops, clergy, consecrated persons and the lay faithful on the proclamation of the Gospel in today’s world
