Pope Francis: the Gospel is for everyone, not for a group of first-class elect

The Pontiff specified that Christians “must be open and expansive, Christians must be ‘extroverted’, and this character of theirs comes from Jesus, who has made his presence in the world a continuous path, aimed at reaching everyone, even learning of certain meetings of his.”

The Holy Father gave as an example Jesus’ encounter with a foreign woman, a Canaanite who begs him to heal her sick daughter, to explain that “preaching should not be limited to the people to which it belongs, but should be open to everyone.”

“The Bible shows us that when God calls a person and makes a pact with some, the criterion is always this: he chooses one to reach many others,” the Holy Father then noted.
