God responds to the shortcomings of the faithful with his superabundance, Pope Francis said.
During one’s lifetime, a person may notice that something essential is missing, he said, “that we lack the strength and many things.”
“It happens when the worries that plague us, the fears that assail us or the overwhelming forces of evil rob us of the taste for life, the exhilaration of joy and the flavour of hope,” he said before praying the Angelus with visitors in St Peter’s Square 19 January.
But “take note,” he said, “in the face of this lack, when the Lord gives, he gives in superabundance.”
“It seems to be a contradiction: the more that is lacking in us, the greater the Lord’s superabundance. Because the Lord wants to celebrate with us in a feast without end,” he said.
