mystery of the Risen Christ. He said it is a perennial source of life.
SUMMARY OF THE WEEKLY PUBLIC CATECHESIS
Dear brothers and sisters,
In our continuing catechesis on the Jubilee theme of “Jesus Christ our Hope,” we now consider how the Resurrection of Jesus fulfills the desires of every human heart.
Our lives are marked by conflicting situations that reveal limitations and our urge to overcome them. We seek worldly recognition and whether we receive it or not, we still feel empty. This reveals that we are not truly satisfied with achievements and passing certainties of this world. This is because we are created in the image and likeness of God and through the power of the Holy Spirit we recognize an inexhaustible longing in our hearts for something more. It is only the resurrected Jesus who can give the true and lasting peace that sustains and fill us. In a world struggling with fatigue and despair, let us be signs of hope, peace and joy of the Risen Christ.
I am happy to welcome this morning the English-speaking pilgrims and visitors, especially those from England, Wales, Ireland, Malta, Norway, Uganda, Australia, New Zealand, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, the hilippines, Taiwan, Canada, and the United States of America. With prayerful good wishes that the present Jubilee of Hope may be for you and your families a time of grace and spiritual renewal, I invoke upon you all the joy and the peace of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
