The wounded side of Christ is a fountain of mercy and love
“The Church also needs that love [Christ's love], lest the love of Christ be replaced with outdated structures and concerns, excessive attachment to our own ideas and opinions, and fanaticism in any number of forms, which end up taking the place of the gratuitous love of God that liberates, enlivens, brings joy to the heart and builds communities. The wounded side of Christ continues to pour forth that stream which is never exhausted, never passes away, but offers itself time and time again to all those who wish to love as he did. For his love alone can bring about a new humanity. (Dilexit Nos, #219)
Reflection-Question: How does Jesus, the “wounded merciful healer,” want to heal me?
