Pope Francis said Sunday that God’s glory and our true happiness are not found in success, fame, or popularity but in loving and forgiving others.
In his Angelus address on March 17, the pope asked: How it is possible that God’s glory is manifest in the humiliation of the cross?
“One would think it happened in the Resurrection, not on the cross, which is a defeat, a failure,” he said. “Instead, today, talking about his passion, Jesus says: ‘The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified’ (Jn 12:23). What does he mean?”
The pope explained that “for God, glory is to love to the point of giving one’s life.”
