General Audience: English Summary

(Vatican Radio)  Pope Francis on Wednesday urged Christians to spread hope by supporting  and encouraging one another.

He was speaking to the pilgrims gathered in St. Peter’s Square for the General Audience.

Please find below the English summary of the Pope’s catechesis: 

Dear Brothers and Sisters:  In our continuing catechesis on Christian hope, today we reflect on two words used by Saint Paul in the opening reading: steadfastness and encouragement.  Paul says that both are contained in the message of the Scriptures, but even more, that ours is a God of steadfastness and encouragement (cf. Rom 15:4-5).  In the Christian life, we are called to spread hope by supporting and encouraging one another, especially those in danger of faltering.  But we do so with the strength provided by the Lord, who is our unfailing source of hope.  Faithful to the Apostle’s injunction, may we always live in harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus.
