Someone gave the following testimony: \u201cI can say without hesitation that I deeply love the Church, the family of God, where we all have a place.\u201d Another said: \u201cI felt great joy and responsibility in becoming a more active member of the community and sharing my gifts with the rest of the Church members.\u201d And still others said: \u201cFor us, serving in these programs is not only a way to help, but also a way to reciprocate all the affection and support we receive.\u201d This is the Church, dear brothers and sisters! This is the music of the Gospel, with its contagious rhythm. When it reaches the heart, it makes someone say that they felt welcomed with open arms, like the sister who came from Peru to Madrid. Many, like her and her family, initially feel afraid to approach, because they have heard of prejudice and disappointment. Kindness, even if it comes from a few, can overcome the fear of many. Be, for everyone, like an open Bible: may the Word of God be found in your faces and in your lives. Love is, indeed, the language that makes everyone feel at home. Thank you very much.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No dia 8 de Junho de 2026 o Papa Le\u00e3o XIV encontrou-se no Est\u00e1dio Santiago Barnab\u00e9u (Madrid) com a comunidade diocesana de Madrid.
