Pope Francis introduced the Mass celebrated this morning at Casa Santa Marta with a prayer for the teachers and their pupils connected virtually online and through social media.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media.

"We pray today for teachers who have to work so hard to provide lessons via the internet and other digital ways, and we also pray for students who have to take exams in a way they are not used to. Let us accompany them with prayer”.

In his homily, the Pope commented on the passage of the Gospel (Jn 6,1-15) of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes, reflecting how a pastor’s true power comes from his service he mistakes this with another power he ruins his vocation and becomes, I don't know, a manager of pastoral enterprise but not a pastor.

By asking where it was possible to buy bread to feed the crowd, Jesus tests the apostles. "He knew. Here we see Jesus’ behavior towards the apostles. He continually tested them to teach them and, when they moved out of bounds and far from the function they were supposed to carry out, he would stop them and teach them."
