If we are willing to recognize our sinfulness and ask God for forgiveness, Pope Francis said Friday, He is always ready to give it.

In his homily Friday morning, Pope Francis said that when God forgives us, He knows full well that we are guilty, not like a judge who acquits a criminal for lack of evidence; yet He pardons us anyway.

In his homily Tuesday morning, Pope Francis reminded his hearers we are all sinners, but that in God’s abundant goodness, He is waiting “to throw a party” for His sons and daughters who come home to Him.
