St. Mary of Mount Carmel Parish issued the following announcement on Sept. 13. 

“No one loves a concept, no one loves an idea; we love persons. Self-sacrifice, true self-giving, flows from love towards men and women, the children and elderly, peoples and communities … faces, those faces and names which fill our hearts.” — Pope Francis

Reflection: Whom do you love? Are there concepts, ideas, or things that you stick to stubbornly, even if they harm other people?
