Vatican City, Oct 8, 2025 \/ 15:00 pm (CNA).<\/p>\n

Pope Leo XIV on Wednesday warned against the claim that true joy \u201cmust be without wounds\u201d or \u201ctrials,\u201d saying pain is not the denial of God\u2019s promise of love for his people.<\/p>\n

During his Oct. 8 general audience at the Vatican, the Holy Father said \u201cthere is an obstacle that often prevents us from recognizing Christ\u2019s presence in our daily lives: the assumption that joy must be free from suffering.\u201d<\/p>\n

Continuing his catechesis on the resurrection of Christ, the pope emphasized that God does not \u201cimpose himself loudly\u201d but \u201cwaits patiently for the moment when our eyes will open to see his friendly face\u201d in order to \u201ctransform disappointment into confident expectation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before hundreds of faithful gathered in St. Peter\u2019s Square, he asked for the grace to be able to notice the \u201chumble and discreet presence\u201d of Christ and to discover that \u201cvery pain, if inhabited by love, can become a place of communion.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Holy Father began his catechesis on the Resurrection with the image of the disciples of Emmaus, who walked \u201csadly because they hoped for a different ending\u201d and \u201cfor a Messiah who did not know the cross.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite having heard that the tomb is empty, the pope said the two disciples were \u201cunable to smile\u201d because they were unable to recognize God\u2019s close presence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBut Jesus walks alongside them and patiently helps them understand that pain is not the denial of the promise, but the way through which God has manifested the measure of his love,\u201d Leo said in his Wednesday catechesis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBrothers and sisters, Christ\u2019s resurrection teaches us that no history is so marked by disappointment or sin that it cannot be visited by hope,\u201d he added. \u201cNo fall is definitive, no night is eternal, no wound is destined to remain open forever.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever distant, lost, or unworthy we may feel, there is no distance that can extinguish the unfailing power of God\u2019s love,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

In times of disappointment, Leo XIV invited people to not give into despair but \u201cto discover that beneath the ashes of disenchantment and weariness there is always a living ember, waiting only to be rekindled.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead, the Risen One is close to us precisely in the darkest places: in our failures, in our frayed relationships, in the daily struggles that weigh on our shoulders, in the doubts that discourage us. Nothing that we are, no fragment of our existence, is foreign to him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, the risen Lord walks alongside each of us as we travel our paths \u2014 those of work and commitment, but also those of suffering and loneliness \u2014 and with infinite delicacy asks us to let him warm our hearts,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Toward the conclusion of his address, the Holy Father asked people to pray for the grace to recognize Christ \u201cas our companion on the road\u201d in daily life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd so, like the disciples of Emmaus, we too return to our homes with hearts burning with joy. A simple joy that does not erase wounds but illuminates them,\u201d he said. \u201cA joy that comes from the certainty that the Lord is alive, walks with us, and gives us the possibility to start again at every moment.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
