WORDS OF THE HOLY FATHER - Sept 6 2019--The Beatitudes are the new wineskins,

WORDS OF THE HOLY FATHER

The accusatory style is the style of those believers who always try to accuse others, who live by accusing and always disqualify others. A style, I would say, of failed promoters of justice: they are always trying to accuse others. But they don't realize that it is the style of the devil: in the Bible the devil is called the "great accuser", who is always accusing others. The Lord has offered you the new wine but you have not changed the bottles, you have not changed. Worldliness is what ruins so many people, so many people! Good people, but this spirit of vanity, pride, of being seen, enters in... The Christian style is that of the Beatitudes: meekness, humility, patience in suffering, love for justice, ability to endure persecution, not judging others... If you want to know what the Christian style is like, so as not to fall into this accusatory style, the worldly style and the selfish style, read the Beatitudes. The Beatitudes are the new wineskins, they are the way to get there. (Santa Marta, 21 january 2019)
