Daily Message from Pope Francis – I Look at Him and He Looks at Me!


FRIDAY, MAY 14, 2021

“I look at him and he looks at me!” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2715) It is like this: loving contemplation, typical of the most intimate prayer, does not need many words. A gaze is enough. It is enough to be convinced that our life is surrounded by an immense and faithful love that nothing can ever separate us from. Jesus was a master of this gaze. His life never lacked the time, space, silence, the loving communion that allows one’s existence not to be devastated by the inevitable trials, but to maintain beauty intact. His secret was His relationship with His heavenly Father.” Pope Francis


Morning Offering: Be Peace-Loving

“Be peace-loving. Peace is a precious treasure to be sought with great zeal. You are well aware that our sins arouse God’s anger. You must change your life, therefore, so that God in his mercy will pardon you. What we conceal from men is known to God. Be converted, then, with a sincere heart. Live your life that you may receive the blessing of the Lord. Then the peace of God our Father will be with you always.”
— St. Francis of Paola
