It is a choice that must be made firmly, and must be continually renewed, because the temptations to reduce everything to money, pleasure and power tighten.'<\/p>\n<p>The pope said that choosing God entails a change of mentality. To trust Him is to accept that the fruits will not be immediate.<\/p>\n<p>POPE FRANCIS<br \/>\n'Jesus exhorts us with insistence not to worry about tomorrow, remembering that above all there is a loving Father who never forgets His children. Trusting Him does not solve problems in a magical way, but allows one to face them with the right spirit, with courage. I am brave because I trust in my Father, who cares for everything. Feeling God as Father, in this time of orphanhood, is very important.'<\/p>\n<p>As it is often the case, the pope's week did not end with the Angelus prayer. In the afternoon, he went to the Anglican Parish of All Saints. With that visit, he ended a week marked by messages about the need to be coherent Christians. He also denounced social injustices, such as the right to water, and the humanitarian crisis in South Sudan.<\/p>\n<p>JRB\/JC<br \/>\nCTV<br \/>\n-GD<br \/>\n-BN<br \/>\nUp:MB<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>February 27, 2017. \"Feeling God as Father, in this time of orphanhood is very important,\" he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":40658,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"http:\/\/youtu.be\/HKDPBB9KX_A","video_descarga":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/","international_url":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bangelus26febint.mov","type":"bn","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57893"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57893"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57893\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
