Pope Francis greets priests and seminarians from the Pontifical North American College during his general audience in the San Damaso courtyard at the Vatican. In a conversation with seminarians and priests studying in Rome, Pope Francis addresses numerous topics: from the compassionate style of priests, called to be close to the people, to spiritual direction.
Pope Francis spoke of three languages that reveal"the maturity of a person: the language of the head, the language of the heart, and the language of the hands" and urged them to learn to express themselves in these three languages,"that I think what I feel and do, feel what I think and do, do what I feel and think".
"The priesthood is a sacred service to God", the Pope explained,"the service of which the Eucharist is the highest degree, it is a service to the community". He then addressed the topic of"climbing priests", those who aim to make a career for themselves, inviting them to stop:"The climber, in the end, is a traitor, he is not a servant. He seeks his own and then does nothing for others".
"To be humble, to have faith does not mean having the answer to everything", said the Pope." That method of defending the faith no longer works, it is an anachronistic method... To have faith, to have the grace to believe in Jesus Christ is to be on the way", he explained.
