CWN Editor's Note: In a video for his January 2024 prayer intention, Pope Francis said that “there is no need to fear the diversity of charisms in the Church. Rather, living this diversity should make us rejoice!”
After praising ecumenical dialogue, the Pope paid tribute to the Eastern Catholic churches: “they have their own traditions, their own characteristic liturgical rites, yet they maintain the unity of the faith. They strengthen it, not divide it.”
“If we are guided by the Holy Spirit, abundance, variety, diversity, never cause conflict,” the Pope continued. “The Holy Spirit reminds us first and foremost that we are children loved by God – everyone equal in God’s love, and everyone different.”
