Vatican City, May 6, 2020 / 06:00 am
Pope Francis said Wednesday that Christ's light illuminates the darkness of sin in our world and in ourselves.
"It is the mission of Jesus to bring light. And the mission of the apostles is to bring the light of Jesus," Pope Francis said in his morning Mass homily on May 6.
"The Lord saves us from the darkness that we have inside, from the darkness of everyday life, of social life, of political life, of national, international life," he said.
Speaking from the chapel of his Vatican City residence, Casa Santa Marta, Pope Francis quoted chapter 12 of the Gospel of John: "I came into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me might not remain in darkness."
