Prelates attended a Mass celebrated by Pope Francis in St. Peter’s Basilica Oct. 11, 2022, to mark the 60th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council. “Do you love Me? Feed My sheep.” These words of Jesus, originally spoken to St Peter, are “also addressed to us, to us as Church,” said Pope Francis in his homily at Mass celebrated on Tuesday, marking the sixtieth anniversary of the opening of the Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican – Vatican II.
“To rekindle her love for the Lord,” he said, “the Church, for the first time in her history, devoted a Council to examining herself and reflecting on her nature and mission.” Instead, he said, “Let us rediscover the Council in order to restore primacy to God, to what is essential: to a Church madly in love with its Lord and with all the men and women whom He loves.”Church exists for sake of love
This, the Pope said, is the second way of looking at the Church: looking around, being in the world without looking down on others. “How timely the Council remains!” he said. “It helps us reject the temptation to enclose ourselves within the confines of our own comforts and convictions,” and leads us to “imitate God’s approach,” to seek the lost sheep and lead them back to the fold.
