Pope Francis
Image
Jesus speaks in the silence of the mystery of the Eucharist and reminds us each time that following him means going out of ourselves and making our lives not something we 'possess,' but a gift to him and to others.

Obeying God is listening to God, having an open heart to follow the path that God points out to us.
Pope Francis
Image
Each encounter with Jesus changes our life.
Pope Francis
Image
