“In [a recent] homily, Pope Francis focused on the fact that we have been ‘re-created’ in Christ, urging those in attendance to take their faith seriously, rather than committing halfway.
“'‘People do not take it seriously! Lukewarm Christians: ‘But, yes, yes, but, no, no.’ Neither here nor there – as our mothers said, ‘rosewater Christians’ – no!’”
In his homily based on the readings for the Thursday of the Twenty-ninth Week in Ordinary Time, Pope Francis encouraged all Christians to place God first in our lives and then, as part of our effort to live our faith, to “do what Jesus advises us to help others.”
