True happiness does not come from being young, rich, or successful, as the world thinks, but from the counter-cultural idea to follow Jesus, said Pope Francis on All Saints’ Day.
“The world says that in order to have happiness you must be rich, powerful, always young and strong, and enjoy the fame and success. Jesus overturns these criteria and makes a prophetic proclamation- and this is the prophetic dimension of holiness- true fullness of life is achieved by following him, by putting his Word into practice, the Pope said. The Pontiff spoke about the road we should d walk to become saints: the Beatitudes.
We should travel on the path of humility, compassion, meekness, justice, and peace. The Pope reminded us that there is no holiness without the joy in Christ. The Holy Father wished everyone the greetings of the day and the spiritual accompaniment of all the saints.
