"Pope Francis' Unconventional Acts of Compassion During Holy Week"

Pope Francis, during Holy Week, emphasized the importance of "compunction," a sense of remorse and repentance for one's sins, as a healthy acknowledgment of wrongdoing and sorrow for its repercussions, rather than an obsession with feeling unworthy. He urged Catholics to embrace compunction as a spiritual practice, emphasizing its role in fostering repentance, solidarity with others, and a deeper connection with God. The pope also highlighted the significance of priests' ministry and the need for them to embody love, mercy, and intercession for those who have strayed.

Pope Francis marks Holy Thursday with 1800 priests.

Pope Francis celebrated Holy Thursday by presiding over a chrism Mass with over 1,880 priests, bishops, and cardinals in St. Peter's Basilica. During the Mass, the pope highlighted the vital presence of the Holy Spirit in the ministry and life of every priest. He also blessed the oil of the sick, the oil of catechumens, and the chrism oil, which will be used in the diocese during the coming year. The pope gifted a book to the priests at the Mass by René Voillaume called “La Segunda Llamada” (The Second Call) and urged the clerics to leave the initiative to the Holy Spirit and show their willingness to serve wherever and however they are asked.

Pope Francis Leads Holy Week Celebrations at Vatican

During Chrism Mass on Holy Thursday, Pope Francis urged priests to invoke the Holy Spirit as "the breath of each day," which gives them joy and points them in the right direction, toward Christ. He thanked priests for their service, which often goes unrecognized, and reflected on the Holy Spirit as the giver of life. The Pope warned against the dangers of compromise, surrogates, and discouragement, and urged priests to preserve their anointing by allowing the Spirit to act within them. He also stressed the importance of harmony and gratitude in the priesthood.
