The sharing of even a simple positive news can bring joy to other people's lives, Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle reminded the faithful.
The prelate said that “everyone has some good news to share, and everyone has some good news to receive.”
“You have the good news, you share it. And you share it because it is good, and you share it because you see a brother or a sister who deserves good news,” said Tagle as he spoke during an online conference for Catholic educators on Friday, September 25.
“If you can share it with your words, good. But if you can share it better through your glittering eyes, your smile, or joy then do it,” he said.
Tagle said that the “beauty of good news” involves mutual recognition and mutual reception.
“We are all in the same human condition in need of good news and so, what 'I have, I share,’” said the Prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples.
“And if there is something good that they have to share, I'll gladly receive it. Then our joy would be complete because joy circulates among brothers and sisters,” he added.
