The Cross isn't an ornament, mere symbol. It's the mystery of God's love, that He died for our sins.
Pope FrancisThe fruits of this profound union with Jesus are marvelous: our whole being is transformed by the grace of the Holy Spirit: soul, intelligence, will, affections and even the body, because we are united in body and spirit.
Pope FrancisWe have so many priests who have gone half way โฆ itโs sad that they did not manage to go the whole way; they have something of the employee in them, something of the bureaucrat in them and this is not good for the Church. Please be careful you donโt fall into this! You are becoming pastors in the image of Jesus, the good pastor. Your aim is to resemble him and act on behalf of him amidst his flock, letting his sheep graze.
Pope Francis
