Jesus “is here in Lima, or wherever you are living, in the routine of your daily life and work.”

People and cheered Pope Francis everywhere he went on this last day of his visit.

“Just as the apostles faced the storm on the sea, you had to face the brunt of ‘El Niño costero.’”

Francis is the first pope to come to the Amazon region, and he insisted that his first event and major speech of his visit to Peru should be to this place.

You have heard it said, “Who run the world? Girls” (Bey 4:12). But we ask: Who runs the church?

The Gospel we heard today is a tactical trainwreck. It tells us to offer no resistance to enemies and love them instead.
