By Carol Glatz • Catholic News Service • Posted January 11, 2021 VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Christians are called to lead and lift people up by being close to them and sharing God’s love, not by judging them, Pope Francis said. It is the same way Jesus saves, not with “a supreme decision or a show of force, a decree, no. He saves us by coming to meet us and taking our sins upon himself,” the pope said before praying his Sunday Angelus address Jan. 10, the feast of the Baptism of the Lord. Traditionally, the pope would have held his annual celebration of infant baptisms in the Sistine Chapel on the feast day. However, because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the children were to be baptized in their home parishes.
