On “People Who Need to Be Heard Every Day”

“God meddles in our miseries, he approaches our wounds and heals them with his hands; it was to have hands he became man. . . . God does not save us only by decree, with a law, he saves us with tenderness, he saves us with caresses, he saves us with his life given for us.” – Pope Francis in his homily on 22 October

“It was to have hands and be able to touch and heal people that Christ became human, Pope Francis has said.”

A recent Catholic News Service Blog post offered a reflection, in words and pictures, on the importance of of the people that Pope Francis is encountering- “people who need to be heard every day.”
