Let us remember Pope Francis

 
As we enter into the Octave of Easter on this Easter Monday, let us prayerfully remember Pope Francis and recall his messages of peace, love, compassion, the dignity of all people, the cries of the poor, the sufferings and starvation of God’s people in war torn countries of the world, the groans of Mother Earth and the need for a call to action to preserve all of God’s creation, and so much more. It was just yesterday that Pope Francis greeted the thousands in the Vatican Square, blessing them and answering his true call to be with God’s people. I share with you below the links to his Easter homily and Easter message “Urbi et Orbi” (the Latin phrase that translates to “to the City and to the World”). May you find God’s love, peace, and comfort in these writings. 
 
 
Peace and all good,

Kathleen Carsten, OFS
