POPE TALK | KAIROS GLOBAL | JUNE 2024

Author: Dr Kochurani Joseph

• Christian pilgrimage, as a synodal journey, is rooted in hope and aimed toward discovering God’s love. 

• We need to welcome God into our daily lives and pray for real peace.

• Faith is the act by which the human being freely commits himself to God.

• Every vocation is a ‘diamond in the rough’ that needs to be polished, worked, shaped on every side.

• Theological virtues like faith, hope, and charity are the fundamental attributes and form the key pillars of Christian life.

• The Lord wants to tell us with the image of the Good Shepherd not only that he is the guide, the head of the flock, but above all that he thinks of each of us as the love of his life

• The gift of the temperate person is balance, a quality as precious as it is rare. When everything in our world pushes to excess, temperance combines well with gospel values such as smallness, discretion, modesty and meekness. 

• Sharing our encounter with Christ makes our encounters even more beautiful and so share personal testimonies of encountering Christ, not by being a lecturer to others, but by sharing the unique moments in which we perceived the Lord alive and close.

• A Christian without courage is a useless Christian who does not turn his own strength to good and also who does not bother anyone. 

• Our life finds fulfilment when we discover who we are, what our gifts are, where we can make them bear fruit, and what path we can follow in order to become signs and instruments of love, generous acceptance, beauty, and peace, wherever we find ourselves.

For migrants fleeing their homes

We pray that migrants fleeing from war or hunger, forced to undertake journeys 

full of danger and violence, find welcome and new opportunities 

in the countries that receive them.
