Greeting some children of Italy’s Catholic Action lay movement ahead of Christmas, Pope Francis urges them to spread the wonder of Jesus’ love for us every day by being close to the needy and those suffering war, especially other children.Some 80 children of Italy’s Catholic Action lay movement met Pope Francis in the Vatican on Friday to share their Christmas greetings.
He pointed to the theme of their formation this year, “Putting out into the deep water”, inspired by the episode of the Gospel in which Jesus calls four fishermen, Peter, James, John and Andrew, to follow Him and become “fishers of men”.The Pope explained that being “fishers of men” does not imply coercing people, but rather inviting them into the joy of God’s love. “God does not want to ‘capture’ anyone because He respects our freedom,” , he said.
The Pope, therefore encouraged the children of Azione Cattolica to learn to be amazed, “never taking anything for granted”, especially love: “God’s love and the love of the people we meet”.
