Pope Francis' Homily: "Shrunken Souls"

[Fish and Bread]

This article from the official Vatican website contains an account in English, with many quotes, of Pope Francis' homily from daily mass on January 27th of this year (So, last week):

Shrunken souls (27 January 2017) | Francis

I liked it. We could use a greater emphasis on grace and love in the Church, and I think Pope Francis has a unique understanding of that. He's been given this ministry by the Holy Spirit for a reason.

 

[Martinius]

This is a recurring theme for Francis. He must have seen, and likely still sees, many examples around him. At one time I think the Curia and Vatican were full of shrunken souls, but that appears to be changing. Something to be very thankful for.

 

[Fantine]

Pope Francis' words are, as usual, so challenging. Catholics who think he tries to weaken the rules don't understand him at all.
