VATICAN CITY – People can’t be good Christians if they do not choose to remain in Jesus, Pope Francis said.
“We cannot be good Christians if we do not remain in Jesus. With him, though, we can do everything,” the pope said before reciting the “Regina Coeli” prayer May 2 with visitors in St. Peter’s Square.
“Attached to Christ, we receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and in this way we can do good to our neighbor, we can do good to society, to the Church,” he said.
