Pope Francis during General Audience: Praying in communion with the Saints

  The Vatican

Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!

Today, I would like to reflect on the connection between prayer and the communion of saints. In fact, when we pray, we never do so alone: even if we do not think about it, we are immersed in a majestic river of invocations that precedes us and proceeds after us. A majestic river.

Id-dixxipli diġà semgħu li l-qabar vojt, li semgħu ukoll ir-rakkont tan-nisa li dehrulhom xi anġli u qalulhom li Ġesù hu ħaj, li qam mill-imwiet. Imma dawn iż-żewġ dixxipli jiddeċiedu li jitilqu minn Ġerusalemm u għal għonq it-triq il-qalb tagħhom hi mimlija swied il-qalb… Read more »
