We are impatient, anxious to see the whole picture, but God lets us see things slowly, quietly.
Pope FrancisItโs like in soccer: you have to deal with the penalties where they fall; you canโt choose where theyโre going to land. Life is like that, and you have to deal with it even if you donโt like it.
Pope FrancisLet us ask the Lord for the grace to take these things seriously. He came to fight for our salvation. He won against the devil! Please, let us not do business with the devil! He seeks to return home, to take possession of us Do not relativize; be vigilant! And always with Jesus!
Pope FrancisAsk yourselves this question: How often is Jesus inside and knocking at the door to be let out, to come out? And we do not let him out because of our own need for security, because so often we are locked into ephemeral structures that serve solely to make us slaves and not free children of God.
