A Good Life (inbunden, eng)

This is Pope Francis'' story for you today: the departure point for your birth or rebirth, whatever form that may take. It is the glowing centre that sustains life, whatever your age. You are a wonder of creation.

Even when your face is lined with worries or fatigue, remember that you are always a light that shines through the nightThis is the greatest gift you''ve ever received, and no one can take it away from you. Dream on! Never stop dreaming. Believe! Believe in even greater and more beautiful truths. Let yourself be surprised by love. This is what it means to Live Well. This is the greatest and most beautiful wish we can extend to each other.



Always.

Joy - the wholesome and concrete kind, the joy we have all been searching for since birth - will be the natural outcome. It won''t be an easy path; life''s difficulties and the pervasive pessimism and cynicism of our era will periodically make it difficult to recognize and welcome grace into our lifeBut the Pope guarantees us that is precisely when we open our hearts to providence and allow tenderness and mercy to enter that life becomes beautiful. It''s comforting to know that we can always begin again, that God can rebuild a story within us from the fragments. By letting ourselves be inspired by Pope Francis'' 15 Rules for a Good Life, we can revel in the wondrous creations that we are, and savour the experience of what it means to live authentically And so, joy will spread, bringing goodness to all those who welcome and share its gift.
