“Glorification, for him, means giving himself, making himself accessible, offering his love,” he said.
“And this reached its culmination on the cross, where Jesus outspread God’s love to the maximum, fully revealing the face of mercy, giving us life and forgiving his executioners.”
Pope Francis underlined that giving and forgiveness “are very different criteria to what we see around us, and also within us, when we think of glory.”
Yet while worldly glory fades, this Christian way of life brings lasting happiness, he explained.
“And so, we can ask ourselves: What is the glory I desire for myself, for my life, that I dream of for my future?” Francis asked.
