GENERAL AUDIENCE
“‘Thy kingdom come!’. Let us sow this word in the midst of our
sins and our shortcomings. Let us give it to the people defeated
and bent by life, to those who have tasted hatred more than
love, those who have lived aimless days without ever
understanding why”. The Pope offered this advice to the faithful
who had gathered in Saint Peter’s Square for the General
Audience on Wednesday, 6 March. As he continued his series of
reflections on the Lord’s Prayer, Francis focused on the second
invocation. The following is a translation of the Holy Father’s
catechesis, which he delivered in Italian.

In his Ash Wednesday homily Francis explains the meaning of Lent which we must invest. Lent, therefore, invites

away, we rediscover ourselves and are set free.
Lent is a time of grace that liberates the heart
from vanity. It is a time of healing from ad-
dictions that seduce us. It is a time to fix our
gaze on what abides.
Where can we fix our gaze, then,
throughout this Lenten journey? It is simple:
upon the Crucified one. Jesus on the cross is

The poverty of the wood, the silence of the
Lord, his loving self-emptying show us the
necessity of a simpler life, free from anxiety
about things. From the cross, Jesus teaches us
the great courage involved in renunciation.
We will never move forward if we are heavily
weighed down. We need to free ourselves
from the clutches of consumerism and the
snares of selfishness, from always wanting
more, from never being satisfied, and from a
heart closed to the needs of the poor. Jesus
