NAGPUR: Archbishop Abraham Viruthakulangara of Nagpur has launched an appeal to love and reach out to others during the Jubilee Year of Mercy, which starts on December 8.

The archbishop stressed that through the sacrament of the Eucharist, Christ enters and feeds the heart of man, making him able to "nurture others" with love, mercy, compassion, fruits of God's grace.

"When we are nourished by the Eucharist we can nourish others," said the prelate.

In the diocese located in the western state of Maharashtra in India, the local community intends to live the time of the Jubilee highlighting the importance of reaching out to others.

"Jesus has a two-point programme: love of God and love of one’s neighbor. Where there is love, God reigns," the Archbishop said, adding: "The Kingdom of Jesus has no boundaries just like love has no boundaries. The kingdom is in our hearts, and from there you have to reach out to others. Christ says: I want to be in your heart. The person of Christ dwells in our hearts. We must make room for him in our hearts. And our mission is to spread it to the hearts of others."

Archbishop Abraham pointed out that sometimes one gives an image of Christianity as an "institution", while it is made up of values such as love, peace and justice.--Ucannews.com
