“God has become our companion on the journey towards true Life”
In this week’s Wednesday audience, Pope Leo offers a moment of reflection as we come close to the end of the Jubilee Year.
On this last day of the calendar year, we are called to reflect on what the Lord has done for us over the past year, and to examine our consciences honestly—to evaluate how we have responded to his gifts, to ask forgiveness for all the times we failed to invest the talents with which he has entrusted us, and to place everything before the Lord, trusting in his Providence.
As it comes to a close, may this Jubilee remind us that “our whole life is a journey, whose final destination transcends space and time, to be fulfilled in the encounter with God and in full and eternal communion with him.”
