In an address by Angelus, prepared while Pope Francis continues his treatment at the hospital and is being published by the Office of the Holy Sea Press, the Pope faithfully thanked their intimacy in the moment of “frailty” and urged them to continue praying for peace in the world, as they pray for him.
“From here on, the war seems even more ridiculous,” he said.
Thank you for prayer and intimacy
The Pope also expressed his gratitude to doctors and medical professionals “for the attention they are caring for me,” reflecting the hidden graces in his illness. “It’s exactly these moments that we learn more to trust in the Lord. At the same time, I thank God for giving us the opportunity to share the body and mind of so many illnesses and suffering conditions,” he said.
Finally, he expressed his deep gratitude for the heartfelt prayers of faithful people all over the world. “I feel all your love and intimacy. At this particular point, I feel like I’m ‘carrying’ and being supported by all God’s people. thank you! ”
Before turning to his reflection on the gospel of the day, the Pope faithfully assured his prayers for them. “I pray for you too, and I pray for peace above all else,” he said.
He then invited them to meditate on this Sunday Gospel.
Train our eyes
Regarding vision, the Pope explained that Jesus asks us to “observe the world closely and train our eyes to judge our neighbors on charity.” He emphasized that only the gaze of care, not condemnation, allows the brotherly revision to become a true virtue. “Because if it’s not a brother, it’s not a correction!” he added.
Talk with caution
Then, towards the taste, Pope Francis remembered the teachings of Jesus, that all trees are known for their fruits. “Fruits that come from humans are, for example, his words, ripe on his lips,” he explained. He went on to contrast “rotten fruits” – violent, false, vulgar words – “good fruits” – with fair and honest words that give our dialogue flavour.
Finally, reflecting these two aspects, the Pope invited faithful people to look into their lives.
