Pope Francis encouraged Catholics to ask themselves if in the name of Jesus’ wounds, they are willing to open their arms to others, especially the wounded, so that no one is excluded from God’s mercy.
‘Only Jesus justifies us,’ he reminded the faithful.
In what is his last known miracle before Easter, Jesus calls out to Lazarus, ‘Come out!’
‘This Sunday,’ Francis said, ‘the Gospel presents us one of the most beautiful and fascinating encounters Jesus has.’
On the First Sunday of Lent, the Pope encourages the faithful to turn to Scripture in their spiritual struggles.
Ahead of Lent, the Holy Father ecouraged the faithul to ‘dare to do good, to risk in giving.’
The Pope pointed to the example of someone who chooses to spend time in prayer or serving others, instead of wasting time.
In his speech before the Angelus prayer, Pope Francis reflected on the message of St. John the Baptist.
‘To persevere is to remain constant in goodness,’ the Holy Father said at the Angelus.
