Summary
On February 15, Pope Francis addressed the faithful during the Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time Mass. The sermon was based on Matthew’s Gospel, specifically focusing on verses that discuss various commandments of the Law. The Pope emphasized that holiness is a divine work and cannot be achieved by human effort alone. He explained that when Jesus Christ dwells within us, we are freed from vengeful anger related to injustice and sin, and our sexuality becomes chaste in all aspects, including mental purity. The sermon also covered the commandment against false oaths, encouraging believers not to take vows lightly. Instead, the Pope advised speaking truthfully with love and being faithful to commitments. The Lord’s teachings aim to help followers live according to His divine will and reveal a transformed human person who fulfills rather than merely keeps the Law.
