VATICAN CITY (ITALPRESS) – “Christian joy is never exclusive, but always inclusive; it is for everyone. It is fulfilled in the folds of daily life and in sharing: it is a joy with wide horizons, accompanying a welcoming style.” Pope Francis writes this in his message to participants in the II Synodal Assembly of Churches in Italy (March 31-April 4). “It is a gift from God – let us always remember it -; it is not an easy joy, it does not come from comfortable solutions to problems, it does not avoid the cross, but it springs from the certainty that the Lord never leaves us alone,” the Pontiff continues. “I too experienced it in hospitalization, and now in this time of convalescence. Christian joy is reliance on God in every situation in life.”
