During his Sunday Angelus address, Pope Francis calls on faithful to draw closer to Christ by bringing with them only the essentials.To experience fully God's joy and love, let go of that unnecessary baggage which only weighs us down and hinders the journey, Pope Francis advised during his Angelus address on Sunday in the Vatican. He took his cue from Sunday's Gospel reading according to Saint Mark, in which we hear Jesus tell His followers to pack light in order to follow Him.
It also requires, the Pope insisted, being sober in thoughts and feelings, abandoning preconceptions and rigidities that,"like unnecessary baggage, weigh down and hinder the journey," rather than promoting"engagement and listening," which make"witness more effective." "If, on the other hand, everyone goes their own way," and"what counts are only things - which are never enough," he warned,"the atmosphere becomes heavy, life becomes difficult, and encounters become more occasions of unease, sadness, and discouragement than of joy.
"And finally," the Pope asked,"do I know how to cultivate a sober lifestyle, attentive to the needs of my brothers and sisters?"
