A place where God taught me that true Love is a synonym of life offering
    The experience I have made in Tunisia’s mission was very surprising and which will mark my life for ever. I have seen the action of the Father’s merciful’s heart which drove me to the desert to speak to my heart.  When I have beem sent to Tunisia, I did not know exactly what I would find there, but I had the opportunity to know a deeply happy church, with a beauty characterized by a  joy of life, which is seen on the face of every priest, consecrated, missionary who had the grace to know it. I have met in the desert the richness of offering my life every day, this offering lived each time, in every minute, in ...

Pope Francis: to love your enemies, prayer is a game-changer
The path to holiness and sainthood, Pope Francis said, requires imitating Christ by loving our enemies and praying for those who wrong us even when it is difficult. “It’s true, God the Father is merciful,” he said. “And you? Are you merciful, are you merciful with the people who have hurt you? Or who do not love you?” “If He is merciful, if He is holy, if He is perfect, we must be merciful, holy and perfect like Him,” he continued. “This is holiness. A man and a woman who do this deserve to be canonized: they become saints. So simple is the Christian life.” Pope Francis gave his homily during Mass at the parish of Santa Maria Josefa of ...

God’s love is the best experience of my life
My name is Juliana, I’m from the state of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil), I’m 17 years old. It’s been over three years that I take part in prayer groups, meetings, cenacles, and retreats. However, about one year ago, I let Jesus touch me with His infinite mercy and eternal love. That was the best experience that I have ever had in my life. Before that, I served at the music ministry of a prayer group, but during weekends I also went to places consacrated to the Demon, I used to drink, smoke marijuana, play and listen to songs consacrated to the devil. I used to congregate with people who didn’t believe in Jesus, they were drugdealers, that means, they ...

Pope: “make space for God’s love so He can change you”
Pope Francis says we are loved by God in a way that no theologian can explain. He was speaking during morning Mass in the Casa Santa Marta. Taking his cue from the first reading from the prophet Isaiah in which the Lord says He is “about to create new heavens and a new earth”, Pope Francis said that God’s second creation is even more “wonderful” than the first because when he makes the world over he does so in Jesus Christ. He renews everything and manifests his immense joy: “We find that the Lord has so much enthusiasm: he speaks of joy and says ‘I will exult in my people’. The Lord thinks of what He will do and of ...

“I will teach my child only one thing: love”
In 1995, during the war in the former Yugoslavia, Sister Lucy Vertrusc and two other religious sisters were raped by Serbian soldiers. As a consequence, she found out later that she was pregnant. An Italian newspaper published years later a heartfelt letter that Sr Vertrusc wrote to her mother superior with an amazing witness of a spousal-love towards Jesus Christ. The letter was published at the request of the mother superior herself perhaps in an attempt to show the world that a person who experienced God’s love can always give a different answer to the culture of death. After such a dreadful experience one can expect a letter filled with pain, sorrow or bitter. Instead, what it is found is a deep sense ...

Pope: we can’t be book-keepers of God’s love
Pope Francis on Thursday said that God is like a mother, He loves us unconditionally, but too often we want to take control of this grace in a kind of a spiritual book-keeping. The Pope was speaking during his homily at morning Mass in the Casa Santa Marta. Taking his cue from the prophet Isaiah, Pope Francis said that God saves his people not from afar but being close and tender. “God’s closeness is such that he is presented like a mother, a mother who talks to her baby, and sings lullabies to her baby” The Pope said that the mother even taken on the voice and the language of a child so much so she can seem ridiculous if ...
