"Pope Francis said [in a recent homily] that the times are changing and we Christians must change continually, freely but within the truth of the faith. He urged Christians to look at the signs of the times and warned them against succumbing to the comfort of conformity. The Pope's remarks came during his homily at the morning Mass celebrated at the Santa Marta residence.
"Taking his cue from the reading of St Paul's letter to the Romans, Pope Francis's homily reflected on the discernment that the Church needs to employ whilst looking at the signs of the times and doing what Christ wants. He noted how St Paul's preaching stressed the freedom which has saved us from sin whilst Christ himself spoke of reading the signs of the times. God set us free, the Pope explained, and in order to have this freedom, we must open ourselves to the power of the Holy Spirit and clearly understand what is happening within and around us through discernment."
Vatican Radio recently reported on this homily by Pope Francis, in which he encouraged Christians to be aware of the changing times and to adapt continuously while remaining fixed to their faith in Jesus Christ.
