Words of the Holy Father

People who follow the religion of makeup: the appearance, to appear, pretending to seem a certain way “while inside...”. The  “very powerful image” that Jesus evokes: “‘You are whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanliness’”. (…) Let us ask the Lord that we never tire of going down that path; that we never tire of rejecting this religion of appearances, this religion of seeming, of pretending.... We must instead be committed to proceed “quietly, doing good”, and doing so “freely as we have freely received our interior freedom”. Let us ask for this grace. (Santa Marta, 11 October 2016)
