Pope Francis emphasized the immortality of love on this earth in his Angeles Prayer on 14 November, Sunday.
Pope Francis’ advice is to imagine standing before Christ at the “threshold of eternity” because that is what ultimately matters.
Speaking from the window of the Apostolic Palace to pilgrims gathered in St. Peter’s Square, the Pope urged faithful to reflect on whether their time is spent focusing on things that are transitory or in “the ultimate things that remain.”
“Brothers and sisters, let us ask ourselves: what are we investing our lives in? On things that pass, such as money, success, appearance, physical well-being? … When our time comes … we have to leave everything behind,” said the Holy Father.
Recalling the parable in Bible in which the Pope warned not to build one’s life on sand, but to lay a solid, deep foundation on the rock.
