Pope Francis urges all nuns and priests to appreciate the many graces they enjoy as part of religious communities, as he meets with the Augustinian Sisters of Talavera de la Reina in Spain. Pope thanks Italian soldiers for aiding in humanitarian emergencies“Holiness is always joyful… Have the smile that comes from the heart—not fake, but sincere and full.”
Since the nuns hail from Spain, the Pope renewed his prayers for residents of Valencia who are “suffering greatly” from flooding that has killed over 200 people.Reflecting on religious life, Pope Francis invited the nuns to offer an example of the spiritual life by being “masters in the art of prayer.”
The Pope went on to invite all consecrated religious and priests never to lose their joy or sense of humor, adding that they then assume a “sour” disposition that seems “like something preserved in vinegar.” He noted that religious can either have an exuberant humor, such as St. Philip Neri, or a more reserved kind of joy that comes with a smile.Religious women and men, said Pope Francis, should always keep in mind the needs of others and the relative security and comfort they enjoy as part of a religious community.
