I Want To Remind Priests That The Confessional Must Not Be A Torture Chamber But Rather An Encounter With The Lord’s Mercy Which Spurs Us On To Do Our Best. A Small Step, In The Midst Of Great Human Limitations, Can Be More Pleasing To God Than A Life Which Appears Outwardly In Order But Moves Through The Day Without Confronting Great Difficulties. Everyone Needs To Be Touched By The Comfort And Attraction Of God’s Saving Love, Which Is Mysteriously At Work In Each Person, Above And Beyond Their Faults And Failings.

Mercy Is The True Power That Can Save Humanity And The World From Sin And Evil.

I Do Not Know What Might Be The Most Fitting Description.... I Am A Sinner. This Is The Most Accurate Definition. It Is Not A Figure Of Speech, A Literary Genre. I Am A Sinner. And This Is What I Said When They Asked Me If I Would Accept My Election As Pontiff: I Am A Sinner, But I Trust In The Infinite Mercy And Patience Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, And I Accept In A Spirit Of Penance.

Division Within A Christian Community Is A Very Grave Sin; It Is The Work Of The Devil.
