Christian Quote by Pope Francis
“For every Christian, the proclamation and witnessing of the Gospel are never an isolated act. This is important. For every Christian the proclamation and witnessing of the Gospel are never an isolated or group act, and no evangelizers acts, as Paul VI reminded very well, "on the strength of a personal inspiration, but in union with the mission of the Church and in her name"”

![“I see clearly that the thing the church needs most today is the ability to heal wounds and to warm the hearts of the faithful; it needs nearness, proximity. I see the church as a field hospital after battle. [...] The church sometimes has locked itself up in small things, in small-minded rules…” quote by Pope Francis](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/c1b/pope-francis-85_ability_i-see-clearly-that-the-thing-the-church_1024589.jpg)
