"We don't go to Mass to give something to God, but to receive from Him that which we truly need," Pope Francis said today (December 13, 2017) during his weekly general audience, according to the America Magazine website.
Just like a plant needs sun and nourishment to survive, every Christian needs the light of Sunday and the sustenance of the Eucharist to truly live, Francis said.
"How can we carry out the Gospel without drawing the energy needed to do it, one Sunday after another, from the limitless source of the Eucharist? he added.
The pope also conveyed the importance of Sunday being observed as a day of rest, which is a sign of the dignity of living as children of God, not slaves.
