Pope Francis on God the Almighty Father

“The Everlasting Father: No one or anything can separate us from His love. Go out and proclaim, go out and show that God is in your midst as a merciful Father who Himself goes out, morning and evening, to see if His son has returned home and, as soon as He sees him coming, runs out to embrace him. An embrace which wants to take up, purify and elevate the dignity of His children. A Father who, in His embrace, is ‘glad tidings to the poor, healing to the afflicted, liberty to captives, comfort to those who mourn’ (Is 61:1-2)” – at Madison Square Garden Mass, 9/25/15.
