The Good Struggle: Life In A Secluded Orthodox Monastery

Franciscan Simplicity

Just the other day he posted this:

This is the great meaning of #Christmas: God becomes man so that we can become children of God.

— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) January 10, 2021

It is striking that the Lord spent most of his time on Earth living an ordinary life, without standing out. It is a beautiful message that reveals the greatness of daily life, the importance in God's eyes of every gesture and moment of life, even the most simple.

— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) January 11, 2021

The "hidden life" or the daily life of Christ before His public ministry was nonetheless a manifestation of the glory of the Son of God. Daily life by itself is not "important to God"; what is important is that Christ redeemed it through His incarnation. It is not what we offer, but what God offers to us.
