Dear family in Christ. May i please ask for your help. I was gifted this cross yesterday at a mass here in california in remembrance of our beloved pope Francis. The sweet lady i celebrated mass with she kindly gave it to me. But just something tells me is special.
/r/Catholicism is a place to present new developments in the world of Catholicism, discuss theological teachings of the Catholic Church, provide an avenue for reasonable dialogue amongst people of all beliefs, and grow in our own spirituality. Catholic Christianity offers the world the fullness of the Christian Faith.Blessed holy week to you all!

/r/Catholic is a community of Christian disciples of Jesus. As Ignatius of Antioch wrote in 107 AD, “Wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church” (Letter to the Smyrnaeans). The word catholic originates from Greek and means “universal.” We strive to live up to the meaning of that word by fostering open, good-faith discussions, prayers, encouragement, and advice for all who find this corner of Reddit.
