Being Human

One of the strongest characteristics of Pope Francis that has such universal appeal, is his "being human".  His warmth, his approachableness, his concern for others, his lack of concern for "what others think", his confidence in who he is, rather than what he does, and his sense that whatever he does, it's God acting through him.  This seems to have been the approach of Peter and the apostles after the resurrection.  They saw needs, and took care of them, they preached about Jesus, though warned not to, they healed, prayed, and praised God, confident that the words of Jesus, "I am with you till the end of the world", (cf Mt 28: 20) were true.   In our attempt to be an Easter People and live our Alleluias, these are the models set before us. If we all became like Pope Francis or Peter, Easter Joy and Peace would prevail.  Let's see how much of this we can bring to our day. Before we sleep, let us take a look back and see how we did, thanking God for making it all possible.
