He knows how to express himself. He has something that made me think. He is free. A undisciplined freedom... but he is free. It made me think, 'am I also free like that before God?' When Jesus says that we have to become like children, He tells us that we have to have the freedom that a child has before his father. I think he preached to all of us. Let's ask for the grace that this boy can speak.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In his catechesis, Pope Francis summarized the Ten Commandments which he said expresses how God's love makes people free.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>POPE FRANCIS<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>\u201cBy freeing ourselves from the slavery of worldly desires, we can reconstruct our relationship with people and things by being faithful, generous, and authentic.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<p>It was the first General Audience indoors, to avoid the Roman cold. Therefore, the choirs who came to greet the pope could also be better heard. It was a musical audience that helped prepare people for the Christmas spirit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November 28, 2018.
