His Holiness Pope Francis
delivered a New Year's address in Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome on Friday during mass, and calls on everyone ​to end indifference among other things. Thousands of people gathered ​to hear Him celebrate the mass.
Some of His messages are below:
"How can the fullness of time have come when we are witnessing hordes of men, women and children fleeing war, hunger and persecution ready to risk their lives simply to encounter respect for their fundamental rights? A torrent of misery, swollen by sin, seems to contradict the fullness of time brought by Christ." "Sometimes we ask ourselves how it is possible that human injustice persists unabated and that the arrogance of the powerful continues to demean the weak relegating them to the most squalid outskirts of our world. We ask how long human evil will continue to sow violence and hatred in our world reaping innocent victims. And yet this swollen torrent is powerless before the ocean of mercy which floods our world. All of us are called to immerse ourselves in this ocean, to let ourselves be reborn to overcome the indifference which blocks solidarity and to leave behind the false neutrality which prevents sharing..." This is a great message we should listen to and do in any way we can. The Pope is a "Living Saint" for us Catholics and every word he says we consider as if it was the word of God.
