From this video it is apparent to me that he is talking to all people, even those who might have Sunday jobs.
Words printed out the site.

Some people learn by listening, correct? The video does a good job of putting it in concise form.
we get angry here when Muslims refuse to allow Christians to worship freely....we get angry when Obama goes off on Israel.....so as someone mentioned a little ways up...I'd hope there'd be the courtesy to allow someone to post the Pope's words without disparaging them.
I'd hope.
Peace and cheers.

The Pope’s 10 “secrets” to happiness all seem to reflect on the “golden rule,” the “do to others” of Luke 6:31.
John 13
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
Thanks.
St Augustine said it best, “ our hearts are restless until they rest in you “.
Unless one is in Christ, they can never have true happiness.
Its a shame these 10 secrets didn’t mention our Lord and Savior.
This is a ping for all Christians and for all people who need to remember that “I” am no the center of the universe; that “I” am not the alpha and omega; that “I” am not what it is all about, unless “I” want to be alone amongst everyone and be in the misery of loneliness.
The Pope’s words here are good to remember and abide by.
Thanks.
sometimes auto correct does the darnedest things
In the spirit of ecumenicalism, I would certainly agree that the organ music is very nice.
Not exactly.
That is not on the RM page.
I comes from the movie Bambi.
It's what Thumper's mother said to him.
I thought about that later. That the words weren’t actually spoken and said...oops.
Thanks.
Very nice!
Thank you.
