Pope Francis' homily: witness the joy of the Resurrection.
Those Christians whose "tempo" of life is "adagio-complaining" are not helping the Lord or the Church, the Pope said: that is not the style of the disciple. St. Augustine says to Christians: 'Go, go ahead, sing and journey forward.' With joy: that is the style of the Christian. Proclaim the Gospel with joy. And the Lord does everything. Instead, too much sadness... even bitterness, leads us to live a so-called Christianity without Christ: the empty Cross. Like Christians who are in front of the tomb crying, like Mary Magdalene, but without the joy of having found the Risen Lord.
