There is no reconciliation without self-sacrifice"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The pope held his General Audience from inside his library, the same room used for his meetings with political leaders.<\/p>\n<p>Pope Francis this week explained the seventh beatitude: \u201cBlessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The pope asked not to trivialize the concept of peace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>POPE FRANCIS<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>One tends to think peace means calm, harmony, internal serenity. This definition is incomplete and cannot be universalized, because in life, restlessness can be an important moment for growth. Many times, the Lord plants restlessness in us, so we can draw closer to Him and find Him.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>According to Pope Francis, the peace Jesus proposes in the Gospel consists in applying as much creativity as possible to overcome enmity and attain reconciliation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>POPE FRANCIS<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Those who are called sons of God are those who have grasped the art of peace and put it into practice. They know there is no reconciliation without giving one's own life, and that one must always search for peace, in any circumstance. Always and in any circumstance.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>During his greeting to Polish-speaking people, the pope reminded that this upcoming Sunday is the feast of the Divine Mercy, instituted by John Paul II.<\/p>\n<p><strong>POPE FRANCIS<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>He established it in response to the petition Jesus made through St. Faustina. 'I hope that the feast of mercy will offer protection and a refuge to all souls. Humanity will not find peace until it approaches my fountain of mercy.' With confidence, let us pray to Merciful Jesus for the Church and for all humanity, especially for those who suffer in this difficult moment.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>During his General Audiences, the pope would spend most of his time greeting pilgrims. Now they are very brief and limited to his catechesis and virtual greetings. It is still unknown when Pope Francis' audiences will return to normalcy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April 15, 2020.
