Pope Francis @Pontifex

We can learn much from the #IndigenousPeoples, from their ability to listen attentively to God, to persons and to nature. And we need it, especially amid the frenzied pace of today’s world that makes difficult a truly human, sustainable and integral development. #Canada — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Together with the bishops of #Canada, I renew my request for forgiveness for the wrong done by so many Christians against the #IndigenousPeoples. It is tragic when some believers conform themselves to the conventions of the world rather than to the Gospel. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The message of unity that Heaven sends to earth does not fear differences, but invites us to communion, to start afresh together, because we are all pilgrims on a journey. #IndigenousPeoples #Canada — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

As a Church, all of us need to be healed fom the temptation of choosing to defend the institution rather than seeking the truth. With God's help, let us contribute to the building up of a Mother Church that is pleasing to Him. #IndigenousPeoples #Canada — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Dear #Indigenous brothers and sisters, I have come here as a pilgrim also to say to you how precious you are to me and to the Church. May the Lord help us move forward in the healing process, towards an ever more healthy and renewed future. #Canada — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

We have received so much from those who have gone before us. What do we want to bequeath to those who come after us? “Rose water” or a living faith? A society founded on personal profit or on fraternity? A world at war or at peace? A devastated creation or a welcoming home? — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us pray for and in union with our forebears. Let us dedicate time to remember and keep their legacy. In the fog of forgetfulness overshadowing our times, it is essential to cultivate our roots. This is how the future is built. #GrandparentsAndElderly — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

May Saints #JoachimAndAnn help us honour our #GrandparentsAndElders, to treasure their presence in order to create a better future, a future in which the story of violence and marginalization suffered by our #Indigenous brothers and sisters is never repeated. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

To pray together, to help one another, to share life stories, common joys and struggles: this is what opens the door to the reconciling work of God. #ApostolicJourney #Canada — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Reconciliation is not merely the result of our own efforts. It is a gift that flows from the crucified Lord. It is a peace that radiates from the Heart of Jesus, a grace that must be sought. #IndigenousPeoples #Canada — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Our own efforts aren’t enough to achieve healing and reconciliation: we need God’s grace. We need the Spirit’s quiet and powerful wisdom. May He fulfill the expectations of our hearts. May he take us by the hand and enable us to walk together. #IndigenousPeoples #Canada — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

I ask forgiveness for the ways in which many members of the Church cooperated in those projects of cultural destruction and assimilation stipulated by the government, which culminated in the system of residential schools. #IndigenousPeoples #Canada — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Dear #IndigenousPeoples of #Canada, I have come to your native lands to tell you in person of my sorrow, to implore God’s forgiveness, healing and reconciliation, to express my closeness and to pray with you and for you. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Dear brothers and sisters of #Canada, I come among you to meet the indigenous peoples. I hope, with God's grace, that my penitential pilgrimage might contribute to the journey of reconciliation already undertaken. Please accompany me with #prayer. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Dear #GrandparentsandElderly, we are called to be artisans of the revolution of tenderness! Let us do so by growing in our knowledge and use of the most valuable instrument we have: prayer. Our confident prayer can do a great deal! — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The World Day of #GrandparentsandElderly is an opportunity to joyfully proclaim once again that the Church wants to celebrate together with all those whom the Lord – as it says in the Bible – has “filled with days”. Let us celebrate it together! https://t.co/Cv2LWGFUV8 — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

We #GrandparentsandElderly have a great responsibility: to teach people how to look on others with the same understanding and loving gaze we give our grandchildren. We can be teachers of a way of life that is peaceful and attentive to the weakest. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

"Listen to the voice of creation” is the theme and invitation of this year’s Season of Creation from 1 September to 4 October. It is a special time for all Christians to pray and work together to care for our common home. https://t.co/GEsiGVxGsW — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

We must return to the essence of Christianity: the love of God, the driving force of our joy that sends us out to trod the pathways of the world, and welcoming our neighbour. This is the simplest and most beautiful witness we can give the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

I am near the suffering Ukrainian people. How is it possible not to understand that war only creates destruction and death, driving people apart, killing truth and dialogue? Let us #PrayTogether that negotiations might begin again. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us #PrayTogether for the people of Sri Lanka. I urge all parties to seek a peaceful solution to the current crisis that especially favors the poorest, resecting everyone's rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The word of Jesus is a teaching that touches and shapes life, frees it from the dullness of evil, satisfies and infuses it with a joy that does not pass: it is the better part. Therefore, Mary gives it first place: she stops and listens. The rest will come after. #GospelOfTheDay — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

I invite you to go out and look for those elderly persons who are most alone, at home or in residences where they are guests. Let's make sure no one feels alone. Visiting the elderly who live alone is a work of mercy in our time! #GrandparentsElderly #BlessingOfTime — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Taking on another person's history, taking the time to get to know them without labeling them, putting them on our shoulders when they are tired or wounded like the good Samaritan: this is known as fraternity. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Dear #YoungPeople, I invite you to transform the “old continent” into a “new continent”, and this is only possible with you: it is now up to you to present the world with a new face of #Europe. https://t.co/3q0uJYzvsZ — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

#SeaSunday is being celebrated today. Let us remember all seafarers, especially those who are stranded in war zones, so that they might return home. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

I renew my closeness to the Ukrainian people, who are daily tormented by the brutal attacks that ordinary people are paying for. Let us #PrayTogether that God might show the way to put an end to this senseless war! — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Поновлюю мою близькість із українським народом, який щоденно страждає від брутальних обстрілів, за які розплачуються звичайні люди. #МолімосяРазом, аби Господь Бог показав дорогу, як покласти край цій божевільній війні! — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Ещё раз я выражаю близость к украинскому народу, который ежедневно страдает от жестоких нападений: за них расплачиваются простые люди. #ПомолимсяВместе, дабы Господь указал путь к прекращению этой безумной войны! — PolitiTweet.org
