Let us #PrayTogether for the Ukrainian people, that the Lord may give them comfort and hope. During these days, Cardinal Krajewski is in Ukraine to bear concrete witness to the closeness of the Pope and the Church. — PolitiTweet.org

I address a special greeting to the dear people of Ethiopia, who today celebrate their traditional New Year: I assure you of my prayer and wish every family and the entire nation the gift of peace and reconciliation. — PolitiTweet.org

In this moment of prayer, I remember Sister Maria de Coppi, Combonian missionary, killed in Chipene, Mozambique, where she served lovingly for almost 60 years. May her witness give strength and courage to Christians and all the people of Mozambique. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

One who loves is concerned about the one who is missing, longs for who is absent, seeks who is lost, await who has gone astray. For he wants no-one to be lost. #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 15: 4-32) — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Jesus, by welcoming sinners and eating with them, reveals to us that God is just like that: he excludes no one, he wants everyone at his banquet, because he loves everyone as his children. #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 15: 4-32) — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The Lord does not cut us out of his love. He does not lose heart or tire of tenderly offering us his trust again. God believes in us! God trusts us and accompanies us patiently. He does not get discouraged, but always instils his hope in us. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The Gospel calls us to “repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near!” (Mt 3:2) It summons us to a new relationship with God and also entails a different relationship with others and with creation. Safeguarding God's work is an essential part of the Christian life. #SeasonOfCreation — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

In the face of all the scenes of war in our time, I ask all of you to be peace builders. Let us #PrayTogether for reconciliation and harmony. Let us entrust the victims of every war to the Virgin Mary, especially the dear people of Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

God works through unplanned events, as well as through setbacks. Let us ask the Lord to send us His Spirit so that He might help us to discern and to recognize His presence even in the unforeseen and painful situations in our lives. #Discernment — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The sweet song of creation invites us to practise an “ecological spirituality” attentive to God’s presence in the natural world, aware that everything was created through Christ and that "without Him not one thing came into being” (Jn 1:3). #SeasonofCreation — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

If shared with love, a small amount never ends, but becomes a source of life and happiness. Such is the case with our alms, whether small or large, when offered with joy and simplicity. #InternationalDayofCharity — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

#MotherTeresa loved to say, “Perhaps I don’t speak their language, but I can smile”. Let us carry her smile in our hearts and give it to those whom we meet along our journey, especially those who suffer. In this way, we will open up opportunities of joy and hope. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us pray to #PopeJohnPaulI. Let us ask him to obtain for us "the smile of the soul". Using his own words, let us ask for what he himself used to request: "Lord, take me as I am, with my defects, with my shortcomings, but help me become what you desire me to be." — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Blessed #JohnPaulI considered himself like dust in which God deigned to write. Therefore, he used to say, "the Lord recommended this a lot: be humble. Even if you have done great things, say: 'We are useless servants.' " — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Following Jesus means bearing, like him, one’s own burdens and those of others, making one’s life a gift. Jesus asks this of us: live the Gospel and you will live your life, not halfway but to the full. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

In the #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 14:25-33), the Lord's discourse isnot that appealing and is quite demanding: whoever does not love him more than his or her own dear ones, whoever does not carry the cross, whoever is not detached from earthly goods, cannot be his disciple. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

In this #SeasonofCreation, we pray once more in the great cathedral of creation, and revel in the grandiose cosmic choir made up of countless creatures singing God's praises. #PrayTogether https://t.co/iKWbVyKfuW — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

This #SeasonofCreation is an opportunity to cultivate our “ecological conversion”, a conversion encouraged by Saint John Paul II as a response to the “ecological catastrophe” predicted by Saint Paul VI back in 1970. https://t.co/GEsiGVPhRw — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Today, more than ever, we need a non-worldly liturgy, one that makes us raise our eyes toward Heaven to experience that the world and life are inhabited by the Mystery of Christ; and at the same time, a liturgy that is not distanced from life. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us #PrayTogether during this #SeasonOfCreation so that the UN COP27 and COP15 Summits might unite the human family in decisively confronting the double crisis of climate change and the reduction of biodiversity. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

May this year's theme, “Listen to the voice of creation”, foster a concrete commitment in each person to take care of our common home. Prey to our consumerist excesses, our sister, mother earth, weeps and implores us to put an end to our abuses and destruction. #SeasonOfCreation — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Today we celebrate the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, and the beginning of the #SeasonOfCreation, which will conclude on 4 October, the Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us #PrayTogether that the death penalty, which attacks the dignity of the human person, may be legally abolished in every country. #PrayerIntention https://t.co/Dx478E6TVT — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

I am following with concern the violent events in Baghdad in recent days. Let us #PrayTogether for the people of Iraq. Dialogue and fraternity are the best way to face the current difficulties and reach peaceful living together. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

God wants children, not slaves: free children. And love can only be lived in freedom. To learn to live one must learn to love, and for this it is necessary to discern. https://t.co/zJOhrC3PLf — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Discernment is demanding but indispensable for living. It requires a filial relationship with God. God is Father and He does not leave us alone. He is always willing to welcome us. But He never imposes His will. Why? Because He wants to be loved and not feared. #GeneralAudience — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Dear brothers and sisters, a minister of the Church is someone who experiences wonder before God’s plan and, in that spirit, passionately loves the Church, ready to be at the service of her mission wherever and however the Holy Spirit may choose. — PolitiTweet.org
