Pope Francis, at Mass yesterday with his newest cardinals, described being in contact with "real human dramas" and people's "concrete existence" as integral to the Catholic Church's mission, the ABC News website reports today (June 30, 2018).
Francis celebrated the Mass in St. Peter's Square, filled with some 30,000 faithful, to mark the feast day of Saints Peter and Paul.
In his homily, he cautioned Christians against keeping their distance from "human misery," and urged them to avoid "empty" forms of service and compassion for people.
He urged Christians to avoid pretexts that keep them "far from real human dramas, which preserve us from contact with other people's concrete existence and, in the end, from knowing the revolutionary power of God's tender love."
