We have so much information but maybe we donโt know what to do with that information. So we run the risk of becoming museums of young people who have everything but not knowing what to do with it. We donโt need young museums but we do need holy young people.
Pope FrancisLike Mary, may we nurture the light born within us at Christmas. May we carry it everywhere in our daily lives.
Pope FrancisI then greet and cordially thank you all, dear friends belonging to other religious traditions; first of all the Muslims, who worship the one God, living and merciful, and call upon Him in prayer, and all of you. I really appreciate your presence: in it I see a tangible sign of the will to grow in mutual esteem and cooperation for the common good of humanity.
Pope FrancisIn mission, also on a continental level, it is very important to reaffirm the family, which remains the essential cell of society and the Church; young people, who are the face of the Church's future; women, who play a fundamental role in passing on the faith and who are a daily source of strength in a society that carries this faith forward and renews it.
Pope FrancisWe cannot live as Christians separate from the rock who is Christ. He gives us strength and stability, but also joy and serenity.
Pope FrancisWe face so many challenges in life: poverty, distress, humiliation, the struggle for justice, persecutions, the difficulty of daily conversion, the effort to remain faithful to our call to holiness, and many others. But if we open the door to Jesus and allow him to be part of our lives, if we share our joys and sorrows with him, then we will experience the peace and joy that only God, who is infinite love, can give.
