Today the World Meeting of Families has started in Dublin. Pope Francis has invited to join with our prayers.
Aren't you in Dublin like me? Please participate praying from your home and your parish.
The Vatican invited Father James Martin SJ to give a lecture. On his Twitter account @JamesMartinSJ he has written
"Dear friends: Prayers welcome! God willing, I'll be leaving tonight for the World Meeting of Families in Dublin, where I'll be giving a lecture, at the invitation of the Vatican, entitled, "Showing Welcome and Respect in Our Parishes to LGBT People and their Families" @WMOF2018 1 https://t.co/eiK9EGIaWb"

"I'm grateful for the invitation and for the opportunity to remind parishes that LGBT Catholics are as much a part of the church as anyone else. Thanks to the pastors, pastoral workers and parishioners who helped me craft this talk of insights and "best practices" for parishes 2"

"Now, more than ever, in the face of increased hatred, LGBT Catholics need to know that God loves them and that they are part of God's family. For those in Dublin, the talk is at 11:30 AM at the Hall 8A. It will posted immediately afterwards on the @americamag website. 3"

"To all the LGBT Catholics, and their families and friends, who shared your stories with me, wept with me, laughed with me, asked me questions about our faith, and challenged me with your insights: I'm carrying you in my heart to the World Meeting of Families in Dublin. #WMOF2018"

May God bless World Meeting of Families. May God bless all the families of the world. May God bless Father James Martin SJ. May all the parishes of the world be LGBT welcoming. May God bless all his children and LGBT Catholics are Catholic like all the others Catholic people. May God bless everybody.
Amen and Alleluia, Jesus Christ Our Lord come!
