Pope Francis @Pontifex

The spiritual state we call desolation can be an opportunity of growth. It provokes a "shaking of the soul", fosters vigilance and humility, and protects us from the winds of fancy. #GeneralAudience — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Goodness is hidden, silent; it requires slow and continuous excavation. Because God’s style is discreet. He does not impose himself. He is like the air we breathe - we don't see it but it allows us to live, and we realize it only when it's missing. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

I would like to recall the #COP27 Summit on Climate Change, which is taking place in Egypt. I hope that steps forward will be made, with courage and determination, in the wake of the Paris Agreement. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

On the first anniversary of the launch of the #LaudatoSi' Platform for Action, which promotes ecological conversion, I encourage this mission, crucial for the future of humanity, so that it may foster in everyone a genuine commitment to the care of creation. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us always remain close to our brothers and sisters in martyred Ukraine. Close in prayer and with concrete solidarity. Peace is possible! Let us not resign ourselves to war. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us not be content, like the people in the #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 21:5-19), to admire the beautiful stones of the temple, while failing to recognize God’s true temple, the human person, especially the poor, in whose face, in whose wounds, we encounter Jesus. #WorldDayOfThePoor — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

On this #WorldDayOfThePoor, God’s word is a forceful admonition to break through that inner deafness that prevents us from listening to the stifled cry of pain of the frailest. #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 21:5-19) https://t.co/Xjkv1tE0Uf — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The poor guarantee us an eternal "income". They are already helping us to become rich in love. For the worst kind of poverty to combat is the poverty of our love. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

A saint is a luminous reflection of the Lord of history. The path of holiness is universal. It is a call directed toward each of us that begins with Baptism and is unique and unrepeatable for each person. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Saints do not come from a “parallel universe”. They are believers rooted in their daily activities with their families, study, work; social, economic and political life. In all these settings, they fearlessly strive to carry out God’s will. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

I renew my invitation to pray for war-torn #Ukraine. Let us ask the Lord for peace for these people who are suffering so much cruelty on the part of some mercenaries making war. Let us #PrayTogether — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Each and every person is needed in order for the journey of fraternity and peace to progress. Let us all hear the call to expand our horizons to open our hearts because we are all brothers and sisters. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

#Holiness is not a process of struggles and renunciations. It is above all the experience of being loved by God, of freely receiving his love, his mercy. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us read the lives of the saints which narrate in a comprehensible way the style God uses in the lives of people not that different from us since the saints were made of flesh and blood like us. Their deeds dialogue with our own actions, and help us understand what they mean. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The signing of the agreement regarding the situation in #Ethiopia is a source of hope. Let us support this commitment for a lasting #peace. And let us continue to pray for war-torn #Ukraine. May that war might come to an end. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Thank you for these days passed together. With a heart filled with gratitude I bless all of you, especially those who worked to prepare for this journey. I thank His Majesty the King, and the Authorities of #Bahrain for their exquisite hospitality. #ApostolicJourney — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Prophecy makes us capable of putting the Beatitudes into practice in everyday situations, meekly, yet resolutely, building God’s kingdom in which love, justice and peace are opposed to every form of selfishness, violence and degradation. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

La profecía nos hace capaces de practicar las Bienaventuranzas evangélicas en las situaciones de cada día, es decir, de edificar con firme mansedumbre ese Reino de Dios en el que el amor, la justicia y la paz se oponen a toda forma de egoísmo, de violencia y de degradación. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The Spirit is a wellspring of prophecy. We cannot pretend not to see the works of evil, so as to live a “quiet life” and not get our hands dirty. We have received a Spirit of prophecy to bear the light by proclaiming the Gospel by our living witness. #ApostolicJourney — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

If we have received the Spirit, our ecclesial vocation is above all to preserve unity and cultivate it together. To be credible in our dialogue with others, let us live in fraternity among ourselves. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The Holy Spirit is a wellspring of unity. His fire burns away worldly desires and kindles in our lives the warm and compassionate love with which Jesus loves us, so that we in turn can love one another like that. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Christian joy is contagious because the Gospel makes us go beyond ourselves to share the beauty of God’s love. We cannot keep Christian joy to ourselves. It multiplies once we start spreading it. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The Spirit is a wellspring of joy. The fresh water the Lord wants to make flow in the deserts of our humanity is the certainty that even despite the struggles and dark nights we sometimes endure, we are not alone, lost or defeated, because He is with us. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Before going to the internet for advice, always seek out good counselors in life, wise and reliable people who can guide and help you. Each of us needs to be accompanied on the road of life! — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Be champions of fraternity, sowers of fraternity. Thus you will be builders of the future, because only in fraternity will our world have a future! — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

You young people are the leaven in the dough of the world, destined to rise, to break down many social and cultural barriers and to foster the blossoming of fraternity and innovation, becoming the basis of a friendly and solidary society. #ApostolicJourney — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The culture of care is the antidote to a world rife with individualism and imprisoned by sadness. Let us learn to take care of others, of our cities, of our society, of creation so as to experience the joy of friendship and generosity. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

To love like Jesus is above all a grace to be implored insistently: “Jesus, you who love me, teach me to love like you. Jesus, you who forgive me, teach me to forgive like you. Send your Spirit, the Spirit of love, upon me.” https://t.co/wwNgiLXgK9 — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

That is what the Lord asks of us: to commit ourselves to practice universal fraternity, to persevere in good even when evil is done to us, to break the spiral of revenge by disarming violence and demilitarizing the heart. #ApostolicJourney — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Behold Christ’s power: love. The greatness of his power does not derive from the force of violence, but from the weakness of love. He gives us the strength to love like he loved: unconditionally, always, everyone, even our enemies. #ApostolicJourney — PolitiTweet.org
