Pope: the world needs peace, courage, joy and kindness
– Empowered by the Holy Spirit and his the many gifts we are able to uncompromising fight against sin and corruption, rampant in the world every day, and to devote himself works with patient perseverance, justice and peace – the Pope said in his homily. “The world (…) has need of men and women is not closed, but full of the Holy Spirit. The closing on him is not only a lack of freedom, but also a sin – said Francis.
He noted that there are different ways of closing up, “in selfishness own benefit”, “in strict legalism” doctors of the law, which – as the Pope recalled – “Jesus called hypocrites “. They forget that, too, added Francis, what Jesus taught and treated the experience of the Christian life not as a service, but private interest.
– The world needs courage, hope, faith and perseverance disciples of Christ – said Francis. He needs too – as pointed out – love, joy, peace, generosity, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
The Pope stressed that everyone must live true faith, operating through love to be able to sow “seeds of peace and reconciliation.”
