Aleteia - published on 03/30/16

Holy Father tells pilgrims at Wednesday audience that God is there to help you up again if you sin through weakness

We are like the little child who falls and lifts up his hand to his mother and father for help, the pope told pilgrims at today’s Wednesday Audience. And “The Lord will take [your hand] and help you to get up. That is the dignity of God’s forgiveness.”
