they all share in the triple mission of christ to be worshipers of truth, to be servants of the truth. that is for everybody. forms the matrix that plan that was implemented for arguablyng what was the most extensive and successful local and the implementation of vatican 2 in the world. apostolic soul. his soul has been formed by the sacrament of holy orders. in the sense that he believes the universal call to holiness must be lived in service. the greatest service the church does for the world, he would say i believe, is to tell the world it's true story. one way to think about the problem of the human condition going back to add a many is the world has forgotten its story. they must remind the world that the true story of humankind is the story whose chapter headings are creation, fall, promise, in telling the world story, reminding the world of the true story the pope would go once say the story is sometimes, many times best told not by argument, not by philosophical speculation, that by example. i think mother teresa looms very large in the pope's sense of the example. they were g

are in san diego or dallas here today, and they've come around the world to see this vick car of christ. incredible. >> it really is incredible. one thing that we've seen in d.c. and new york and done ma masses there as well. this is the mass that was the focal point, has to do with the families, very much a focus of this pope. this is why he did not do a huge mass in new york or washington, d.c. because he wanted to save the one big huge one for philadelphia. he certainly has. there are about a million plus people here. not only that the mass is so important to him. he wrote about the mass in his encyclical on the environment. this is very very important to him. >> he also had a funny line last night when he said, i've been a priest all my life and who am i to talk about marriage and everybody laughed. he said i won't even get into the mother-in-laws and they laughed at that as well. it was entirely off script. there was a speech prepared that he disregarded for whatever reason. i think, peter, you touched on it many times, he's a pastor at heart. that's what he was doing at that momen

he is the master of christ -- the ambassador of christ.e should have his views coming with him, not just on the political views. thank you very much. guest: i think, when he arrives, you do get a very spiritual message. he is very wounded and getting the gospel out on the street. that is a deeply spiritual message. youink you will see that if watch the masses that he will do here. he will not be looking at tackling atheism. that is not the way he approaches things. he reaches out to atheists and says things like if you behave well, you can get to have them. that is not something that a lot of people are comfortable with from popes. he says, look at the message of jesus, which is about mercy and compassion, love, and basic people, including people. not about rules or excluding people. if you focus on the message of jesus, then the world will listen. that is the message i think he will be bringing when he gets off the plane today. host: from maryland, independent line. caller: how are you? host: fine, thanks. go ahead. it is in a of before t

doing so in the hope of helping you preserve on the path of fidelity to jesus christ. and i would like to offer two brief reflections. the first concern is of the spirit of gratitude. the joy of men and women who love god attracts others to him. priests and religious are called to find and radiate lasting satisfaction in their vocation. joy springs from a grateful heart. truly we have received much, so many graces, so many blessings. and in this we rejoice. it will do us good to think back on our lives with the grace of remembrance. remembrance of when we were first called. remembrance of the road traveled. remembrance of graces received. and above all, remembrance of our encounter with jesus christ so often along the way. remembrance of the amazement which our encounter with jesus christ has awakened in our hearts. sisters, brothers, priests and religious, to seek the grace of remembrance so as to grow ein te spirit of gratitude. perhaps we need to ask ourselves -- are we capable of counting our blessings? or have i forgotten them? a second area is the spirit of hard

he is a humble christ follower. we all can learn from him. i think, sean, whenever the pope is standing up and speaking about the right to life around the sanctity of marriage and religious freedom, all evangelicals are applauding because he's speaking from the authority of god's word. i do think when he starts talking about arms control and climate change, many say he's moving maybe into the realm of personal opinion but something i heard him say today i felt was key and that's the word "balance." i think, for example, we have to balance our concern for immigrants with the biblical role of government to protect its citizens. we have to balance our belief for the sanctity of life with the very real belief that capital punishment is right and this is key, sean. we need to balance a concern for the environment which is a biblical value with the truth. >> we should be good stewards of god's gifts. >> sean. are you kidding me? you're going to make a comparison between a rock and a nuclear arm? >> it was a good thing that david killed goliath. tha
