Pope Francis @Pontifex

Almsgiving, charity, will be a sign of our compassion toward those in need, and help us to return to others. Prayer will give voice to our profound desire to encounter the Father, and will bring us back to him. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us not neglect the grace of this holy season, responding generously to the powerful promptings of #Lent. At the end of the journey, we will encounter with greater joy the Lord of life, who alone can raise us up from our ashes. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The Spirit sheds light on the path of the Church. He is not only the light of hearts, He is the light that orients the Church: He brings clarity, helps to distinguish, to discern. This is why it is necessary to invoke Him often; let us also do so today, at the beginning of #Lent — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Dear brothers and sisters, may the Holy Spirit sustain us this #Lent2023 in our ascent with Jesus. May we experience His divine splendour and thus, confirmed in faith, persevere in our journey with Him, the glory of His people and light of the nations. https://t.co/qCYq2VUYft — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

In God, no act of love, no matter how small, and no generous effort will ever be lost. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

#SocialJustice demands that we fight against the causes of poverty: inequality and the lack of labour, land, and lodging; against those who deny social and labour rights; and against the culture that leads to taking away the dignity of others. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us not forget those who are suffering. I think of Syria and Turkey, of the very many victims of the earthquake; of the dear Ukrainian people and the many populations who suffer as a result of war of poverty, lack of freedom, or environmental devastation. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

I am close to the people of New Zealand, struck in recent days by a devastating cyclone. Let's #PrayTogether — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

In the #GospelOfToday (Mt 5:38-48), the Lord invites us not to respond to evil with evil, but to dare to do good, even if we receive little or nothing in return. For it is this love that slowly transforms conflicts, overcomes enmities and heals the wounds of hatred. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

God never leaves us on our own. God waits for us to ask Him to give us a hand. We need to learn how to distinguish God's voice through silent #Prayer and intimate dialogue with Him, treasuring in our hearts that which does us good and gives us peace. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

#Lent is a time of grace to the extent that we listen to Jesus. He speaks to us in the Word of God and through our brothers and sisters, especially in the faces and stories of those who are in need. @VaticanIHD https://t.co/qCYq2VUYft — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The #WordOfGod, which is addressed to all, calls us to conversion. When we are filled with the Word, it transforms our hearts and minds; it changes us and helps us direct our lives to the Lord. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us not forget those suffering from the earthquake in #Turkey and #Syria. Let us continue to pray for the victims and their loved ones and make a concrete commitment to help the survivors. May the Lord give consolation to the people affected by this terrible tragedy. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The proclamation of the Gospel does not begin from us, but from the beauty of what we have freely received: meeting Jesus, knowing Him, and discovering that we are loved and saved. It is such a great gift that we cannot keep it to ourselves, we feel the need to spread it. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Each one of us needs other people. Even weakness, if endured together with others, can become a strength that will make the world better. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Where love becomes tangible, become closeness, becomes tenderness, becomes compassion, God is there. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let’s #PrayTogether for all those who are suffering in #Nicaragua, for Bishop Álvarez of Matagalpa, whom I care about greatly, and for the people who have been deported. May the Lord open the hearts of political leaders and all citizens to the sincere search for peace. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us continue to stay close, with prayer and concrete support, to the earthquake victims in #Syria and #Turkey. And let us not forget tormented Ukraine: may the Lord open ways of peace and give those responsible the courage to follow them. Let’s #PrayTogether — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

God loves us first, freely, taking the first step towards us without us deserving it; and so we cannot celebrate his love without in our turn taking the first step towards reconciliation with those who have hurt us. #GospelOfToday — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

In the #GospelOfToday Jesus shows that religious rules are only the beginning. Formal observance is satisfied with the bare minimum, whereas Jesus invites us to aspire to the maximum possible. True love is never satisfied: love goes beyond, one cannot do without. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Through the experience of vulnerability and illness, we can learn to walk together according to the style of God, which is closeness, compassion, and tenderness. #WorldDayOfTheSick @VaticanIHD https://t.co/AvGBBjPkrh — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Today is the #WorldDayOfTheSick. Like the Good Samaritan, let us stop and care for people who are ill and suffering. May #OurLadyOfLourdes bless all the sick and those who care for them with love. @VaticanIHD — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

We are all fragile and vulnerable. We all need that compassion which knows how to pause, come close, heal us, and raise us up. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Now is the time for compassion and for solidarity. We must put aside hatred, wars, and divisions that lead to self-destruction. Let us unite in our sorrow to help those who suffer in #Turkey and #Syria. May we build peace and fraternity in our world. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

May we work together against human trafficking, walking with those who are destroyed by the violence of sexual and labour exploitation, as well as with migrants and displaced persons. May we courageously reaffirm the value of human dignity! #PrayAgainstTrafficking — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let’s #PrayTogether for the peoples of Türkiye and Syria hard hit by the earthquakes that have caused thousands of deaths and injuries. I thank those who are working to provide relief, and I encourage everyone to offer their solidarity. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Today the Church celebrates the memorial of the Sudanese Saint Josephine #Bakhita, whose testimony of life fills us with Christian hope. Trusting in her intercession, we pray for a future of justice and peace for our brothers and sisters in #Africa. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

I remain close with all my heart to the people affected by the earthquake in #Türkiye and #Syria. I continue to pray for those who have lost their lives, as well as the injured, family members, and rescuers. May our concrete aid sustain them in the midst of this appalling tragedy — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

I was deeply saddened to learn of the huge loss of life caused by the earthquake in #Türkiye and in #Syria. Entrusting those who have died to the loving mercy of the Almighty, I pray for the emergency personnel involved in the ongoing relief efforts. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Dear brothers and sisters of #SouthSudan, I return to Rome with you even closer to my heart. You are in my heart; you are in the hearts of Christians worldwide! Never lose hope. And lose no opportunity to build #Peace in your country! — PolitiTweet.org
