Pope Francis warns priests against ‘weariness of people’
Pope Francis has called on his priests to “learn how to be weary...in the best of ways” as they go about their ministries.In a homily during the traditional Maundy Thursday “Chrism” mass, a service intended to celebrate the unity of a Bishop with his priests, Pope Francis this morning called on priests to go out “even to the ends of the earth, to every periphery” and “bring the good news to the most abandoned”.

Holy Week is a beyond busy time for any Christian who really wants to engage in all the fulness of the Paschal mystery.
Everyone is a Martha.
