Noting the shepherds’ openness to receive the news of the coming of Jesus, the Pope’s catechesis emphasized that it is 'the humblest and the poorest who are able to welcome the event of the Incarnation.'
After greeting the groups of international pilgrims in the Vatican’s Paul VI Audience Hall, the Pope asked people to pray for the people of Los Angeles, who are still suffering from the ongoing wildfires.
Francis explained the distinction between the fruits of the Spirit, which require cooperation between grace and human freedom, and charisms, which are bestowed directly by the Spirit for the good of the Church.
During his weekly public audience in the Vatican’s Pope Paul VI Hall, Pope Francis continued a series of lessons on the Holy Spirit.
The pontiff also reflected on the name by which the Holy Spirit is called in the Bible, because, he said, a name is an important part of a person and how we address, distinguish, and remember him or her.
The Pope underscored the Holy Spirit’s role in creation and as a protagonist in the story of salvation by pointing to the Psalms and the New Testament.
The Vatican first made public that Pope Francis was ill on Nov. 25 when the Pope was taken to a Rome hospital for precautionary testing.
Francis addressed pilgrims and tourists in St. Peter’s Square two days after his return from a trip to Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia.
Pope Francis underlined that it was prayer that nourished Father Ricci’s missionary life in which he helped ‘lead many of his disciples and Chinese friends to accept the Catholic faith.’
The Pope spoke quietly on the phone for about one minute while the crowd waited in silence.
