Today is Monday, August 18! In Pope Leo’s Angelus address yesterday, he talked about being good. Don’t we often think that doing good will always yield good results? This isn’t always the case.
Pope Leo explains:
“…All of this reminds us that being or doing good does not always receive a positive response. On the contrary, because its beauty at times annoys those who do not welcome it, one can end up encountering harsh opposition, even insolence and oppression. Acting in truth has its cost, because there are those in the world who choose lies, and the devil, who takes advantage of the situation, often seeks to block the actions of good people.“
As followers of Christ, we aren’t of this world. It’s important that we remember this and do good anyway.
Let’s pray the Angelus!
🙏Let’s Pray the Angelus
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts; that we, to whom the incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His Resurrection, through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.
