Vatican City, Jun 28, 2020 / 06:00 am (CNA).- There is no true love without the cross, Pope Francis said in his Angelus address Sunday.

Speaking from a window overlooking St. Peter’s Square June 28, the pope reflected on the day’s Gospel reading, in which Jesus tells his disciples: “Whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me” (Matthew 10:28).
