At the Vatican, Pope Francis welcomed the leaders of four religious congregations who traveled to Rome for their General Chapter meetings.

The Pope opened his address with speaking about the value of discernment and expressing what he says the world needs right now.

POPE FRANCIS
It needs, therefore, fathers and mothers who help, especially young people, to understand that to be free is not to remain perpetually before a crossroads, making little “escapades” to the right and left, without ever really taking a road.

He also thanked the congregations for their generosity, charity and service to the poor, using the opportunity to reflect on the Final Judgement.

POPE FRANCIS
Let us not forget what will happen in the Final Judgment: the Lord will not ask us, “What did you study? How many degrees did you have? How many accomplishments have you brought?” No, no: “Come, come with me,” the Lord will say, “for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was persecuted and you kept me.” This is the theme of the final examination on which we will be judged.

Among others, the congregations present included the Dominican Missionary Sisters of Saint Sixtus and the Society of Divine Vocations.
