Pope: Be Christians Who Leap for Joy; Encounter God in Prayer, Brothers/Sisters in Love

 "Be Christians who leap for joy in the face of life's challenges -- with hearts  ready to encounter the Lord and others," Pope Francis said on Sept. 23 at a Mass in Marseille, France, the National Catholic Register reports today (Sept. 25, 2023).


"We want to be Christians who encounter God in prayer, and our brothers and sisters in love; Christians who leap, pulsate, and receive the fire of the Holy Spirit and then allow ourselves to be set afire by the questions of our day, by the challenges of the Mediterranean, by the cry of the poor --and by the 'holy utopias' of fraternity and peace that wait to be realized," the pope said Sept. 23.
