“So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth.” – Revelation 3:16

Here’s a look at Pope Francis’ meaningful words about how many of today’s Christians are too “wrapped up in [their] petty things, [their] jealousies, envy, careerism, in going ahead selfishly.”

According to the Pope, “lukewarm Christians without courage” are too enveloped by a “tepid atmosphere.” He adds that “because tepidness draws you inside, and problems arise among us; we have no horizons, we have no courage, neither the courage to pray toward heaven nor the courage to proclaim the Gospel. We are lukewarm.”
