In his homily, Francisco expressed his regret because “Today in the world there is much discord, much division. We are all connected and yet we find ourselves disconnected from each other, anesthetized by indifference and oppressed by loneliness.”.

“Many wars, many conflicts; It seems incredible the evil that man can do!”, lamented the Pope, who nevertheless affirmed that “in reality, what fuels our hostilities is the spirit of division, the devil, whose name means precisely the one who divides”.

According to Francis, the devil “he enjoys antagonisms, injustices, slander. And, faced with the evil of discord, our efforts to build harmony are not enough.”.

The Argentine pontiff also called for there to be no divisions in the Church because, he pointed out, “if the Church polarizes, if the heart fragments” and asked: “Let’s not waste time criticizing others and getting angry with ourselves, but let’s call on the Spirit”.

Francis concluded his homily by invoking the Holy Spirit to renew “the face of the earth” and either “gift of gifts”, “church harmony”, “spirit of forgiveness” and “harmony of the heart”.
