Pope at Audience: The Resurrection is the remedy to sadness
At his Wednesday General Audience in St. Peter’s Square, Pope Leo XIV reflected on the Resurrection of Christ as “an event that one never finishes contemplating and meditating on”.
The more one explores it, the more one is drawn into an “overwhelming yet fascinating light.”
Jesus’ Resurrection, the Pope continued, can heal one of the challenges of today’s world: sadness. “Intrusive and widespread, sadness accompanies the days of many people”, he pointed out, describing it as a feeling of precariousness which infiltrates one’s innermost being and seems to halt joy.
Sadness robs life of meaning and vigour,”Pope Leo explained,
“turning it into a directionless and meaningless journey.”
