Pope Francis

“Each of us can recognize ourselves for who and what we are, marked by both light and shadows, and by the love that we did or did not receive. This is the mystery of human life: we are all someone’s children, begotten and shaped by another, but as we become adults, we too are called to give life, to be a father, mother or grandparent to someone else. Thinking about the people we are today, what do we want to do with ourselves?… We received so much from the hands of those who preceded us. What do we, in turn, want to bequeath to those who come after us? “Rose water”, that is a diluted faith, or a living faith?… Let us not forget that the life-giving sap travels from the roots to the branches, to the leaves, to the flowers, and then to the fruit of the tree.”
Pope Francis
Previous The Father called us, saved us with kindness, bent down and fed us… and we will come to Him trembling like birds, like doves from the land of Assyria. Next the Lord wants us to be artisans of a new history, weavers of hope, builders of the future, peacemakers…
