About the Author
Pope Francis invites us to communicate the Lord's merciful love to the whole world: "We too are given the gift of the 'tongue of the Gospel and the 'fire' of the Holy Spirit, so that as we proclaim the risen Jesus, alive and present among us, we may warm our hearts and the hearts of peoples, show more bringing them closer to him, the way, the truth, and the life." show less
