...from Lorenzago di Cadore

I was catching up on yesterday's news from the VIS (Vatican Information Service) and came across part of a speech the Holy Father gave to some clergy during his holiday in Lorenzago di Cadore. He encouraged priests to live "with their feet on the ground and their eyes on heaven." He also went onto say that "the essence of Christianity cannot be considered just as a collection of dogmas" and that the best way to announce God's message is to "live a life of love."

Thank you Your Holiness, for that speaks to us non-clergy as well. We can tell the spirit of St. Francis is with you on your vacation...
