"Take My yoke upon you, says the Lord, and learn from Me, for I am meek and humble of heart."

Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time (8/28/16)

"Take My yoke upon you, says the Lord, and learn from Me, for I am meek and humble of heart."

• "I had prepared the Catechesis for today, as for all Wednesdays during this Year of Mercy, focusing on the closeness of Jesus. However, on hearing the news of the earthquake that struck central Italy, which has devastated entire areas and left many wounded, I cannot fail to express my heartfelt sorrow and spiritual closeness to all those present in the zones affected. I also express my condolences to those who have lost loved ones and my spiritual support to those who are anxious and afraid. Hearing the Mayor of Amatrice say that 'the town no longer exists', and learning that there are children among the dead, I am deeply saddened....And so we will postpone this week’s Catechesis to next Wednesday. I invite you to pray with me a part of the Holy Rosary, the Sorrowful Mysteries...." (Pope Francis, 8/24/16)
