Pope: Jesus Always on Move, on Way to Others; He Uses Word of God to Lift People from Darkness

In his homily for the Jan. 22 Mass, Pope Francis noted that Jesus in the scriptures is "always on the move, on His way to others," the Crux website reports.

"On no occasion in His public life does He give us the idea that He is a stationary  teacher, a professor seated on a chair; on the contrary, we see Him as an itinerant and a pilgrim, travelling through towns and villages, encountering faces and their stories," he said. 

In the Gospels, Jesus uses the Word of God to heal and lift people out of darkness, Francis said, insisting that the Word of God is not only destined "for the righteous of Israel,  but for all."
