Christians "who feel lost and without a way out” should bring their pain to Jesus Christ, Pope Leo XIV has declared, describing how such a candid display of our vulnerability to Jesus is a fundamental step in any journey of healing.
The pontiff was speaking during his General Audience on Wednesday, 11 May, when he made his comments in reference to the parable of the blind beggar Bartimaeus that is found in the Gospel of Mark.
“With this catechesis I would like to bring our attention to another essential aspect of the life of Jesus, namely his healings. For this reason, I invite you to bring before the Heart of Christ your most painful and fragile parts, those places in your life where you feel stuck and blocked,” Leo told the people in St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican.
