Comments from this morning’s mass at St. Martha House…“Doing good” is a principle that unites all humanity beyond the diversity of ideologies and religions…The root of this possibility of doing good – that we all have – is in creation

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,I hope you all had a blessed Easter season. Jesus Christ is truly risen, Alleluia!My name is Simolen and I believe some of you still remember me from the time I worked at the Catholic Chaplaincy at York (CCY).

For everything he’s placed aside, apparently the Pope’s settled on a new piece of regalia….Just kidding, of course – the garland seen above was a welcoming gift from the Missionaries of Charity, whose shelter and soup-kitchen within the Vatican walls got a Francis-visit last night (and, perhaps, some take-home food for a pontiff suddenly deprived of a place where he can cook).During his stop at the “Gift of Mary” house, the pontiff gave his now-trademark “three words,” taking aim yet again at “a wild capitalism [which] has taught the logic of profit at all cost, of giving to get, of exploitation without looking at the persons… and we see the results in the crisis we are living!”By contrast, “an open hospitality is lived here, without distinctions of nationality or religion, according to the teaching of Jesus,” Francis said.”We must recover the whole sense of gift, of gratuitousness, of solidarity.”Currently marking 25 years since John Paul II called the community founded by Blessed Teresa of Calcutta to establish it, the house feeds 60 people a day in addition to providing overnight space for 25 women in need.-30-

Pope at Mass: True power, even in the Church, is in serving others
2013-05-20 Vatican Radio (Vatican Radio) Courageous, humble and strong prayer can accomplish miracles: this was Pope Francis’ message at morning Mass in Casa Santa Marta. Emer McCarthy reports: The Pope was commenting on Monday’s Gospel passage which recounts the disciples failure to heal a child; Jesus himself must intervene and laments the disbelief of those present.

2013-05-19 Vatican Radio (Vatican Radio) Pope Francis puts his certainty of faith down to his grandmother, from whom he first heard the Christian proclamation; to a life changing encounter with Christ at age 17, through a unknown priest who heard his Confession; to his daily praying of the Rosary to his ‘Mother’, Our Lady and to allowing himself to be held in God’s gaze even when he nods off after a tiring day, while in prayer before the Tabernacle.
