Vöcklabruck (Austria). On 8 July 2023, the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians of the Maria Auxilium and Sacred Heart of Jesus Communities of Vöcklabruck were invited to visit the new mosque in the neighborhood where they live.
A few weeks ago, in fact, the prayer and culture center of the Bosnian Muslim community was inaugurated in front of the FMA House, whose mosque is clearly visible from the street.
The Imam warmly welcomed the Sisters. The neighborly relationship has been good from the beginning with mutual expressions of esteem. Both parties emphasize what unites and not what divides.
“Faith in God is above everything”, said the Imam during the visit, and “Our heart is the space that belongs to God! This is the most important thing, more important than even the most beautiful mosque!”
In the Islamic religion people pray five times a day and for each of these moments of prayer some believers from the surroundings come to the new center. Looking out the windows of their rooms, seeing the light and the new populated environments, the FMA express their joy. Here too, there is prayer!
