Pope: ‘Christ is liberation from slavery; he is hope during war’

Milan, 5 July (LaPresse) – “In slavery, Christ is liberation. Under the scourge of war, Christ is hope.” So said Pope Leo XIV during the Angelus. The Provost addressed the faithful to remind them “how the weight of the cross can be ‘light’ and ‘sweet’.” “For one reason alone,” he said, “because the Lord bears it first and with all of us, never leaving us alone in what brings us down.”
