Cardinal Sarah: “Francis Is a Man of Prayer”
• I wrote this book during the confinement. I was struck by the fact that the life of the body was being taken care of, but the soul was being left to die.
• Did you know that during the lockdown, the word "prayer" was one of the most searched words on Google?
• The sacraments have been turned into purely external ceremonies.
• We spend too much time talking about the structures of the Church. No one is interested in that!
• But do priests and bishops talk enough about what is at stake in this spiritual life?
• You come to a priest because you are looking for God, not because you want to save the planet.
• The Church is there to help the seekers of God. That is its only purpose.
• I believe that Pope Francis is a man of prayer.
• I am not worried about the future of the Church
• I am concerned for the souls deprived of the interior life and the truth that liberates. These souls suffer and are in danger.
