Summary:
Pope Francis says, “the road that Jesus willed for His Church is otherwise: the way of difficulties, the way of the Cross, the way of persecution . . . And this makes us wonder: what is this Church? Because it seems it is not a human enterprise.” This packet teaches about the Church, a "super" human enterprise which includes a life of penance, filial fear, and prophecy. While these words at first may turn us off, they in fact set us on the narrow path to eternal life.
