This is what we should ask Jesus for at Christmas: the grace of littleness.

Pope Francis: The Gospel helps us to interpret “today’s pain and tomorrow’s hope” and calls on us to be ”witnesses of compassion amid widespread disinterest.”

Nothing leaves Jesus indifferent; everything is of concern to him. Encountering faces, meeting eyes, sharing each individual’s history.

Baptism is not merely an external rite. Those who receive it are transformed deep within, in their inmost being, and possess new life.

Pope Francis’s homily for the second Sunday of Easter: ’Having received mercy, let us now become merciful.‘

Lent is a humble descent both inwards and towards others. It is about realizing that salvation is not an ascent to glory, but a descent in love.
