Description

The full text, with commentary, of Pope Francis's Apostolic Exhortation Gaudate et Exsultate. In his new apostolic exhortation, Pope Francis offers an inspiring reminder of the universal call to holiness and a practical guide about how to pursue it. While we draw inspiration from the official saints of the church, it falls to each believer to "discern his or her own path . . . rather than hopelessly trying to imitate something not meant for them." This is the mission that confronts each Christian: to discover and live out "the message that God wants to speak to the world" by our lives. The true path to holiness, he notes, was offered by Christ in the Beatitudes: a virtual "identity card" for Christians.
