Christian faith is a grace and can be perceived only in the hearts of those willing to be surprised by the joy of the Resurrection, Pope Francis said.
"A closed heart, a rationalistic heart" is incapable of understanding the Christian message which has God's love - manifested in Christ's victory over death - at its centre, the Pope said at his weekly general audience today.
"How beautiful it is to think that Christianity is essentially this: It is not so much our search for God - a search that is, truthfully, somewhat shaky - but rather God's search for us," the Pope said.
