Holy Father Pope Francis while addressing the faithful gathered at Casa Santa Marta, conveyed that Jesus calls us to change our lives, to change paths, calls us to conversion and explained this conversion as fighting against evil, even in one’s own hearts and highlighted it as a struggle that does not give you ease but gives you peace. His Holiness explained that this is the fire that Jesus sets on earth- a fire that calls for a change.
As reported by news.va, Holy Father Pope Francis emphasized that “Changing our way of thinking , changing our way of feeling and your heart, which was worldly, pagan, now becomes Christian with the strength of Christ: to change, this is conversion and changing your manner of acting: your works must change.” Further, His Holiness added, “It is a change, but it is not a change that is made with make-up, it is a change that the Holy Spirit makes, within and I have to make it mine so that the Holy Spirit can act and this means a battle, fighting!”
His Holiness reminded the faithful that easy-going Christians, who don’t fight, don’t exist and those are not Christians, they are lukewarm and highlighted that the tranquility necessary for sleep can be found even with a pill but there are no pills for inner peace.
