The National Catholic Register website reports today (February 24, 2011) that Pope Benedict XVI said yesterday -- at his weekly general audience -- that every person's actions and life must be inspired by prayer and the Gospel, by living simply and helping others, and not by accumulating wealth.
The Pope highlighted the life and writings of St. Robert Bellarmine, a Jesuit theologian who lived from 1542 to 1621.
St. Bellarmine offered an important model for prayer -- which should be the inspiration for every action -- the Pope told an estimated 7,500 people gathered for the audience in the Paul VI hall.
The Pope said a unique feature of St. Bellarmine's spirituality was his deeply felt perception of God's immense goodness; he felt like a true child of God, whose love was a source of great joy.
