The world tells us to seek success, power and money; God tells us to seek humility, service and love.
Pope FrancisJesus Christ conferred power upon Peter, but what sort of power was it? Jesusโ three questions to Peter about love are followed by three commands: feed my lambs, feed my sheep. Let us never forget that authentic power is service, and that the Pope too, when exercising power, must enter ever more fully into that service which has its radiant culmination on the Cross.
Pope FrancisYouth Ministry, as traditionally organized, has also suffered the impact of social changes. Young people often fail to find responses to their concerns, needs, problems and hurts in the usual structures. As adults, we find it hard to listen patiently to them, to appreciate their concerns, demands, and to speak to them in a language they can understand.
Pope FrancisIf we take the poor away from the Gospel, we won't be able to understand the whole message of Jesus Christ.
