Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The following words of Pope Francis, commenting on last Sunday’s Gospel, need to be pondered well in our efforts to evangelize, it seems to me:
…For this, to those who also today “want to see Jesus”, to those who are searching for the face of God; to those who have received a catechesis when they were little and then have not gone more in depth, maybe even losing their faith; to so many who have not yet encountered Jesus personally…; to all these people we can offer three things: the Gospel, the crucifix and the witness of our faith, poor but sincere. The Gospel: there we can encounter Jesus, listen to Him, know Him. The crucifix: sign of the love of Jesus who has given Himself for us. And then a faith that is translated in simple gestures of fraternal charity. But mainly, in the coherence of life, between what we say and what we do. Coherence between our faith and our life, between our words and our actions: Gospel, Crucifix and Witness.(Underlining is mine)
May Our Lady help us to bring forward these three things.
