Pope: Knowledge alone doesn't reveal God; humble prayer does

Vatican City, Dec 2, 2014 / 12:47 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- In his homily on Tuesday, Pope Francis said that no matter how much we study, we will never know anything about God unless we speak to him humbly like children.

“Many may know science (and) theology well, so many! But if they do not do this theology on their knees, humbly, like children, they will not understand anything,” the Pope told those present in the Vatican’s Saint Martha guesthouse for his Dec. 2 daily Mass.
