(ANSA) - Vatican City, September 16 - Great homilies are no use unless clerics are close to their flocks, Pope Francis said Tuesday.
"Beautiful homilies are useless if you are not close to the people, if you do not suffer with the people and do not give hope, they are vanity," Francis said during a Mass at St Martha's House, the Vatican hostel he lives in after refusing the grand papal apartments. http://popefrancisnewsapp.com/
