How sad and painful it is to see closed doors: the closed doors of our selfishness, of our indifference towards those who are suffering, towards those who are foreigners, different, the migrant, the poor. Let's open those doors, please! In our words, deeds and daily activities, let's try to be like Jesus: an open door that never shuts in anyone’s face, a door that allows everyone to enter and experience the beauty of the Lord’s love and forgiveness.
--Pope Francis, Homily, April 30, 2023
