Plea from Pope Francis

Pope Francis proclaimed in his daily mass homily, at the Vatican today, about building our most important relationship, with God. He observed, "...what kind of a relationship do we have with God?  Is it a formal relationship? A distant relationship? When the word of God enters us, it changes our hearts.  When we grow closer to God, the heart is closer to the Word."  Let the daily transformation begin for all of us.  If we are Christians, we tie this closely to our Judeo-Christian God. For non-Christians, that our moral compass and our choices still reflect those of love and empathy. For other worldly faiths, that the golden rule still translates.  Whatever faith language we speak, that we all try to remain in solidarity.  Today, I am thankful to 2014 TIME magazine's person of the year and his ever-important pearls of wisdom.
