“Let us listen well, step by step, step by step, Jesus shows us the way. What are those steps to take? The Gospel today says: ‘Announce the Gospel, baptize, expel demons, confront snakes, heal the sick,'” Pope Francis highlighted.
“In short, carry out the works of love: give life, bring hope, stay away from all evil and meanness, respond to evil with good, be close to those who suffer. This is the ‘step by step’.”
The Pontiff also highlighted that “the more we do this, the more we allow ourselves to be transformed by his Spirit, the more we follow his example and the more, as in the mountains, we feel that the air around us becomes light and clean, the horizon broad and the goal is close, words and gestures become good, the mind and heart expand and breathe.”
