 Words of the Holy Father-knowing the signs of the times’-With silence, reflection and prayer-10-25-24

We have the freedom to judge what happens around us. He warned, however, that in order to judge we must really know what is happening around us. How can one do this, what the Church calls ‘knowing the signs of the times’?”. Times change, and it is truly Christian wisdom to recognize these changes, to be familiar with the different times, to know the signs of the times, to distinguish between “the meaning of one thing and another”. It is a call to act without fear, with freedom. We are free through the gift of freedom that Jesus Christ gave us. But our task is to examine what is happening within us, to discern our feelings and our thoughts, and to analyze what is happening around us, to discern the signs of the times. How can we do this? “With silence, reflection and prayer”. (Santa Marta, 23 October 2015)
