You may be poor yourselves in material ways, but you have an abundance of gifts to offer when you offer Christ and the community of his Church.
Pope FrancisThe Cross of Christ bears the suffering and the sin of mankind, including our own. Jesus accepts all this with open arms, bearing on His shoulders our crosses and saying to us: 'Have courage! You do not carry your cross alone! I carry it with you. I have overcome death and I have come to give you hope, to give you life' (John 3:16).

Pope FrancisThe one who listens attentively to the Word of God and truly prays, always asks the Lord: what is your will for me?
