During the General Audience, the Pope reflected on the fruits of a selfless love like the one Jesus demonstrated with his death.
POPE LEO XIV
The logic of the Gospel is different: only what is given flourishes, only love that becomes free can restore faith even where all seems lost.
Jesus shows that Christian hope is not evasion, but decision. This attitude is the fruit of a profound prayer in which we do not ask God to spare us from suffering, but to have the strength to persevere in love.
The Pope did not fail to remind the faithful that that day was an important feast for him: the feast of Saint Monica, the mother of Saint Augustine.
