Pope
to children: Jesus is your best friend
(Vatican Radio) Italian Catholic Action is one of the most active
lay movements in Italy today and is made up of both adults and children and it
was to the children of this group that the Pope extended his Christmas
greetings on Thursday.
This year these boys
and girls have been focusing on a particular theme "Everything to be
discovered" and Pope Francis, reflecting on this slogan had some useful
tips for the children present.
Firstly, the Holy Father said, “never give up” because Jesus’
plan for you is to be built together with, parents, brothers, sisters,
friends, classmates, and catechism.
Imparting more words
of wisdom, the Pope told the children to concern themselves with the needs of
the poorest and those who suffer and he also asked them to donate time to their
parishes.
In another point Pope
Francis stressed how important it is to love the Church and to love oneself and
he called on the young to be apostles of peace and serenity adding that misunderstandings
can be overcome because united Jesus, everything is possible. He then urged all
present to talk to Jesus who, he said, is the greatest friend that never leaves
us.
The Pope, then said to
the children, “what do you think? Do you feel like putting into practice this
proposal.” He continued by saying,"(I think you already living out a lot
of these things.”
Pope Francis concluded
by saying, “with the grace of his birth, Jesus wants to help you take a step
even stronger, more confident and more joyful to become his disciples.”
