A Good Life

15 rules for a good life from the late pope

You are a wonder of creation. This represents Pope Francis' story for you.

Even when your face is lined with worries or fatigue, remember that you are always a light that shines through the night. This is the greatest gift you've ever received, and no one can take it away from you. Never stop dreaming. Believe in even greater and more beautiful truths. Let yourself be surprised by love. This is what it means to Live Well. This is the greatest and most beautiful wish we can extend to each other.

Joy - the wholesome and concrete kind, the joy we have all been searching for since birth - will be the natural outcome. It won't be an easy path; life's difficulties and the pervasive pessimism and cynicism of our era will periodically make it difficult to recognize and welcome grace into our life.

But the late pope guarantees us that it is precisely when we open our hearts to providence and allow tenderness and mercy to enter that life becomes beautiful. We can always begin again. God can rebuild a story within us from the fragments.

Let yourself be inspired by Pope Francis' 15 Rules for a Good Life, revel in the wondrous creation that you are, and savour the experience of what it means to live authentically.
