CWN Editor's Note: During his Sunday Angelus address on September 15, Pope Francis reflected on the Gospel reading of the day (Mark 8:27-35) and distinguished knowing Jesus from merely knowing about Him.
The Pope asked pilgrims gathered in St. Peter’s Square, “Do I ask who Jesus is for me, and what place He occupies in my life? Do I follow Jesus only in word, continuing to have a worldly mentality, or do I set out to follow Him, allowing the encounter with Him to transform my life?”
“May our mother Mary, who knew Jesus well, help us on this question,” he concluded.
