Pope Francis continued his catechesis on prayer. He stressed that the dialogue between a Christian and God has a special characteristic: familiarity.

POPE FRANCIS
Christianity has banished any kind of medieval relationship with God. In the heritage of our faith, there are no expressions such as subjection, slavery, vassalage, but rather alliance, friendship, promise, communion.

He said that when praying, one must remember God never turns His back, even when serious sins have been committed.

POPE FRANCIS
We can ask God for everything, everything, explain everything, tell Him everything. It does not matter if in our relationship with God we see our defects: that we are bad friends, ungrateful children, unfaithful spouses. He continues to love us. God is always near the door of our hearts. He waits, He waits for us to open it. Sometimes He knocks at the door of our heart, but He is not invasive. He waits. God is patient with us.

As it was the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, Pope Francis greeted the Portuguese from Fatima affectionately, especially all those following the Audience in streaming.
