Pope Francis explains how the early Christian communities were typified by their perseverance in the teaching of the apostles, communion through the memory of the Lord, prayer and the sharing of spiritual and material goods among all believers. The liturgy was an expression of its presence and where believers encounter the risen Lord and experience his love. The book of Acts describes how the disciples gathered in the temple, broke bread in their homes, and praised God daily, becoming a source of attraction that fascinated and won over others, and Pope Francis encourages communities to be welcoming, compassionate, and to live the liturgy as an encounter with God and with each other.
