Pope Leo
Dear brothers and sisters, today, in our continuing catechesis on the Jubilee theme of “Christ our Hope,” we turn to consider a question that we all hold deep in our hearts: what is the meaning of life? The scripture passage we just heard responds to this question — life is, first and foremost, a gift from God who has created us out of love. One of the temptations prevelant today is a lack of trust in God’s goodness and love. Perhaps we no longer experience life as a gift because we are weighed down by its burdens, but the Risen Christ reminds us that God is always faithful to his plan of love. Trusting in God, we are invited to participate in this plan of life and of love by generating life. For those of you living the vocation of married life, this means discovering the gift and adventure of motherhood and fatherhood, in which you are called to participate in bringing new lives into this world and preparing them for the life that is eternal. Do not be afraid of this adventure, but prayerfully open yourselves to the gift of life, trusting in the God who we know loves us.
