During the Angelus, Pope Francis reflected on the instructions Jesus gave his disciples when they went out to preach. He told them to go in pairs, meaning to not to go alone.
POPE FRANCIS
Dear brothers and sisters, fellowship and sobriety are important values for our Christian life.
The Pope said it is very important that every community has a genuine concern for others.
POPE FRANCIS
If the only things that matter are stuff—which are never enough—if we do not listen to each other, if in individualism and envy prevail…Envy is a deadly thing, a poison! If individualism and envy prevail, the air becomes thick, life difficult and encounters become more of an occasion of restlessness, sorrow and discouragement than an occasion of joy.
At the end, the Pope greeted groups of pilgrims present in the Square, like this one who came to from from their parish by foot by the Vía Francígena.
