Pope Francis lamented this Sunday that there are believers who have never read any of the Gospels and urged the faithful to always take a Bible with them during the homily at a Mass dedicated to the Word of God in St. Peter’s Basilica.
“What place do I have for the Word of God where I live? There are books, newspapers, televisions, telephones, but where is the Bible?” asked Francisco during the mass, which included catechist and reader services. given to the laity.
Emphasizing that “the Gospel is the book of life, simple and short,” he lamented that “despite this, many believers have never read it from beginning to end.”
The Argentine pontiff asked the believers other questions: “Do I have the Gospel at hand in my room? Do I read it every day so that it guides me on the path of life?
“I have advised you many times to always carry the Gospel with you, in your pocket, in your wallet, in your mobile phone. If I love Christ more than anything else, how can I leave Him at home and not take His Word with me?” “, he said, emphasizing: “While society and social media emphasize the cruelty of words, let us hold on to the sweetness of the saving Word.”
