The Catholic Culture website reports today (April 18, 2011) that Pope Benedict XVI said in his homily -- while celebrating Mass on Palm Sunday in St. Peter's Square -- that Jesus wants to lift every human being up to heaven.
"And yet the force of gravity which draws us down is powerful," the Pope said.
That gravitational force is the temptation to sin, he explained, and we have not escaped it. On the contrary, advances in technology have made men capable to even greater evil.
The Pope added, "Our limitations have also remained: We need but think of the disasters which have caused so much suffering for humanity in recent months."
