This Monday, October 2, Pope Francis received at the Vatican the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart who are participating in their General Chapter held under the title “From the ego to the eco.” The Pontiff invited the religious to “flee from sadness, which is the worm that ruins personal and consecrated life.”
At the beginning of his speech, Pope Francis remarked that Father Jules Chevalier, founder of the Institute, thought of his members “as missionaries committed to making the love of God known in the world to obtain a response of love from men.” .
From this perspective, the Holy Father reflected on three fundamental attitudes of the charismatic identity and missionary commitment of those present: “Knowing the Heart of Jesus through the Gospel; “deepen his message in fraternal sharing and announce it to everyone in the joy of the mission.”
