Pope Francis said "the truth is meek, the truth is silent" in a homily this morning at Casa Santa Marta, as he resumes his early morning Masses.

The Pope's homily concerned the Gospel from Luke (4:16-30), when Jesus returns to Nazareth and and the fury of the townspeople when he refused to perform miracles for them.

The reading from St Luke ends: "They rose up, drove him out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town had been built, to hurl him down headlong. But he passed through the midst of them and went away."
