"Pope Francis says the lives of Christians must be coherent and express faith in action.
"Speaking to the crowds gathered in a rainy St. Peter's Square for the Sunday Angelus, the Pope invited all believers to always bear in mind the message of the Gospel, the image of the Crucified Lord, and the need to be witnesses of faith.
"Calling on Christians to express their faith in action, the Pope also turned to those who have yet to experience an encounter with Christ offering the gift of a pocket-sized Gospel in which 'we can meet Jesus, listen to Him, and get to know Him'.
"And commenting on the fact that 50 thousand copies of the Gospel were being distributed in the Square by 300 homeless people, the Pope said 'this is a beautiful gesture' that Jesus approves: 'those who are most needy are the ones who are giving us the Word of God'. . . .
"And repeating the words “We would like to see Jesus”, Pope Francis said that there are many amongst us who would like to see Jesus, who are in search of his life-giving message. To them – he said – 'there are three things we can offer: the Gospel, the crucifix and our witness'."
