The Deacon's Bench
I’ve said it before: this guy slays me.
Check out the CNS video below, wherein the pope who likes to ride the bus offers some advice on how to spend your morning commute.
If you get a seat on a crowded bus, you should use your travel time to read a few lines from the Bible, Pope Francis told members of a suburban parish filled with people who commute to Rome for work.
“A Christian’s first task is to listen to the word of God, to listen to Jesus, because he speaks to us and saves us with his word,” the pope said March 16 during a homily at the parish of Santa Maria dell’Orazione on the northeast outskirts of Rome.
Everyone should carry a small Bible or pocket edition of the Gospels and should find at least a few minutes every day to read the word of God, Pope Francis said.
Read it all. But watch the video. The commuter pope gets it.
