During Pope Francis' catechesis on discernment, he recalled an anecdote from his life in Argentina. He used it as an example to show how it is important to dedicate time to scripture each day, as it gives you clues on how to live daily life. <\/p>\n
The Pope said while going to confession one evening, a tough-looking tattooed young man approached him, and told him how much a piece of advice helped him in facing a \u201cserious\u201d problem. <\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>I remember once, during a youth pilgrimmage that we do once a year to a sanctuary in Luj\u00e1n, some 40 miles from Buenos Aires. Getting there took all day, and I was in the habit of confessing at night. A young man came up to me, he must have been 22 years old. With so many things on him, tattooes. \u201cOh my God,\u201d I thought, \u201cwhat is going to happen?\u201dAnd he told me: \u201cI came because I have a serious problem, and I told my mother about it, and she told me to go to Our Lady, make a pilgrimmage, and Mary will tell you. And so I came, I've had contact with the bible here, I listened to the word of God and it touched my heart, and so I must do this and that.\u201d The word of God touches our hearts and changes our lives, and I've seen this happen so many times, many times.<\/em><\/p>\n
