True conversion means Christians must not only change their way of living, but also transform their way of thinking in order to respond to Christ's call to proclaim the Gospel, Pope Francis said.
"It is a transformation of thought. It is not about changing garments but habits!" the Pope said on January 22 during his Angelus address.
The Pope reflected on the Sunday Gospel reading (Mt. 4, 12-23), which describes Jesus beginning his ministry in Galilee, a place that was a not only a geographic "periphery," but also considered religiously impure because it was "full of pagans."
