Encounter and acceptance (Pope Francis)


   At the heart of the Gospel of mercy, the encounter and acceptance of others are intertwined with the encounter and acceptance of God himself.  Welcoming others means welcoming God in person!  [You must not let yourselves] be robbed of the hope and joy of life born of your experience of God’s mercy, as manifested in the people you meet on your journey!

--Pope Francis, on the occasion of 
the 2016 World Day of 
Migrants and Refugees
