Touching God’s Compassion, with Bishop Gerald Bergie
Pope Francis said that ‘In virtue of the Holy Spirit, baptism immerses us in the death and resurrection of the Lord, drowning the old [person] in the baptismal font, dominated by the sin that divides us from God, and giving birth to the new [person] recreated in Christ.’
Pope Francis also shared that The Anointing of the Sick, ‘enables us to touch with our hand God’s compassion’ and helps to ‘widen our look on the experience of sickness and suffering, in the horizon of God’s mercy.’
