Joy of the Gospel #3

THE HOLY FATHER FRANCIS
ON THE PROCLAMATION OF THE GOSPEL
IN TODAY’S WORLD
11. Jesus can ... break through the dull categories with which we would enclose him, and he constantly amazes us by his divine creativity.

Whenever we make the effort to return to the source and to recover the original freshness of the Gospel, new avenues arise, new paths of creativity open up, ... with new meaning for today’s world.

Afterword: Creativity in union with God's Spirit is the mark of our partnership with the Creator. 

"For those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God." Romans 8:14, NABRE
