"The fruit of our prayer today should be the conviction that our journey
on earth, at all times and whatever the circumstances, is for God; that
it is a treasure of glory, a foretaste of heaven, something marvelous,
which has been entrusted to us to administer, with a sense of
responsibility, being answerable both to men and to God. But it is not
necessary for us to change our situation in life. Right in the middle of
the world we can sanctify our profession or job, our home life, and
social relations — in fact all those things that seem to have only a
worldly significance." (Friends of God, 53-54)
Pope Francis
