To live a Christian life, we can't run away or hide from God's will, Pope Francis said Tuesday. Rather, we must continuously show up – speaking to God in prayer and striving to do his will.
"The Christian life is this: Here I am, here I am, I continue to do the will of the Lord," the Pope said in his homily at Santa Marta Jan. 24.
His homily reflected on the day's first reading from Hebrews, where it says that Christ came into the world not for burnt offerings or sacrifices, but to do the will of the Father.
All of Salvation history is a story of people saying 'here I am' to God, he pointed out.
