It’s easy to view saints as distant, historical figures that we can only try to imitate. Pope Francis encourages us to consider as examples the quietly holy people in our lives who inspire us to a deeper spiritual life.
We see so many dark valleys, so many disasters, so many people dying of hunger, from wars, so many disabled children, so many.
In turning on the light of the Christmas tree, we wish for the light of Christ to be in us.
Pope Francis reminds us that God’s attitude toward us is far more one of mercy than of judgment.
When God became flesh, became one of us, he took on that flesh through this young woman with a spirit open to surprise and wonder and possibility.
Selfishness leads nowhere and love frees. Those who are able to live their lives as a gift to give others will never be alone and will never experience the drama of the isolated conscience.
We are all masters, we are all experts, when it comes to justifying ourselves.
