“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,” he said. "The church sometimes has locked itself up in small things, in small-minded rules."

Scripture doesn''t say "For Goid so loved the world, He sent a Nook." Still less does it say, "For God so loved the world, He sent the 613 Mitzvot (or the Code of Canon Law)."

It says,"God so loved he world, He sent His son."

Incarnation.

"Get" that, and all the other priorities fall into place in the correct order.
