Pope Francis spoke on the paradox of the beatitudes in his Sunday Angelus address yesterday, saying that the defining characteristic of a disciple of Jesus is joy, the National Catholic Register website reports today (February 14, 2022).
"Indeed, the beatitudes define the identity of the disciple of Jesus," said Pope Francis to a crowd gathered in St. Peter's Square.
The disciples "do not find their joy in money, power or other material goods," said the pope, but rather, in "the gifts they receive every day from God: life, creation, brothers, sisters, and so on."
