The pope was welcomed to the General Audience with a group of school children singing this song. They remembered the three keys to a happy family life that Pope Francis teaches: to ask each other \u201cMay I?\u201d and to say \u201cthank you\u201d and \u201cI'm sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pope Francis' walk through the Paul VI Audience Hall produced some memorable moments. <\/p>\n
He signed the doctoral thesis of a priest from India. <\/p>\n
He blessed the baby of a pregnant woman.<\/p>\n
He also affectionately greeted this child to whom he gave a rosary. <\/p>\n
Afterward, the pope resumed his catechesis on the \u201cOur Father.\u201d He explained that this prayer holds the key to having a sincere relationship with God since He knows the person better than anyone else.<\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS <\/strong> The pope spoke about how the \u201cOur Father\u201d helps fortify a relationship with God. This is the place where every Christian has a personal encounter with Him. It is a casual dialogue where eloquence is not necessary.<\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS <\/strong> The pope reminded the pilgrims that the Christian relationship to God should not be individualistic. He challenged pilgrims with this question: What word does not appear in the \u201cOur Father?\u201d <\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS <\/strong> As usual, the pope concluded his catechesis by greeting newlyweds and the sick. His final blessing was given while wearing a special stole: one made by indigenous women. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" February 13, 2019.

\n\u201cIt's impossible. Before God there is no covering up. God knows our conscience exactly as it is. You cannot pretend.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n
\n\u201cGod and man lock eyes. This is prayer. Seeing God and letting Him see you. This is prayer. 'But Father, I do not say anything.' Look at God and let yourself be seen by Him. This is a beautiful prayer.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n
\n\u201cWhat word is missing from the Lord's Prayer which we pray every day? The word 'I' is missing. Once a prison chaplain asked me a question, 'Tell me, father, what is the opposite word to 'I'? I naively said to him, 'You'. 'No, that's the beginning of the war. The word contrary to the 'I' is 'we.' where there is peace, togetherness.' I received a beautiful lesson from that priest.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
