The pope said despite sometimes feeling insignificant, human beings “are not nothing.”
“If life, with all its bitterness, at times threatens to suffocate in us the gift of prayer, we have but to contemplate a starry sky, a sunset, a flower, to rekindle the spark of gratitude,” he said.
Pope Francis invited the faithful to emulate righteous men and women of prayer in asking God for healing, growth and transformation.
He dedicated his General Audience to the prayer of humble people, saying prayer sows the seeds of life.
