POPE FRANCISCO ON APOSTOLIC ZEAL • “Passion for the Gospel is not a question of understanding or study, which are also necessary, but do not generate it; it means rather to go through that same experience of “fall and resurrection” that Saul/Paul lived and that is at the origin of the transfiguration of his apostolic impulse.

Leaving this shrine that’s whereRead More
