"Get up, get back on the path, regain confidence! ... I will take you by the hand, like when you were a child learning to take your first steps," Jesus tells us, insisted Pope Francis during his Sunday Angelus address to the faithful gathered in St. Peter's Square.
The Holy Father recalled how easy it is to feel hopeless, or to meet people who have given up hope: because of a painful loss, an illness, a bitter disappointment, a wrong or betrayal suffered, a serious mistake made. At these moments, he said, life often seems like a closed tomb, where everything is dark, and all around, one sees only sorrow and despair.Instead, he said, Jesus insists that, at these hard moments, we are not alone.
And, as to Lazarus, the Pope said, Jesus repeats to each one of us:"Get up, get back on the path, regain confidence! ... I will take you by the hand, like when you were a child learning to take your first steps." Especially as we approach Easter, Pope Francis urged the faithful to revisit Chapter 11 of St. John's Gospel, saying it would do us good.The Pope acknowledged that we likely carry in our hearts some burden or some suffering,"which seems to crush us." For this very reason, he urged us to go out to meet Jesus, who is near.
