Pope Francis @Pontifex

The Word became flesh in order to dialogue with us. God does not desire to carry on a monologue, but a dialogue. By the coming of Jesus, the Person of the Word made flesh, into our world, God showed us the way of encounter and dialogue. https://t.co/8tEXBq5yFA — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Jesus is born close to the forgotten ones on the peripheries. He comes to ennoble the excluded and He is first revealed to them: not to educated and important people, but to the shepherds, to poor working people. #Christmas — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

This is what we should ask Jesus for at #Christmas: the grace of littleness. “Lord, teach us to love littleness. Help us to understand that littleness is the way to authentic greatness”. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Dear sister or brother, if as in Bethlehem, the darkness of night overwhelms you, if the hurt you carry inside cries out "You are worthless", tonight God responds and tells you: “I love you just as you are. I became little for you. Trust me and open your heart to me". #Christmas — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Tonight a light has been lit, a kindly light, reminding us that in our littleness, we are beloved sons and daughters, children of the light. Let us rejoice together, for no one will ever put out this light, the light of Jesus, who tonight shines brightly in our world. #Christmas — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

For it to be truly #Christmas, let us not forget this: God comes to be with us and asks us to take care of our brothers and sisters, especially the poorest, the weakest, the most fragile, whom the pandemic risks marginalising even more. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us allow ourselves to be evangelized by the humility of #Christmas, of the manger, of the poverty and simplicity with which the Son of God entered the world. Let us allow ourselves to be evangelized by the humility of the Child Jesus. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

This is the lesson of #Christmas: humility is the great condition for faith, for the spiritual life and for holiness. May the Lord grant it to us as a gift. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The mystery of #Christmas is the mystery of God who enters the world by the path of humility. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

There are many local Churches, religious congregations and Catholic organizations who are ready to welcome and accompany migrants toward a fruitful integration. All that is needed is an open door! — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Jesus is the name and the face of the love of God who came to dwell among us. I hope that each of you might have the desire of seeking Him and the joy of finding Him this #Christmas. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let's choose a concrete commitment, however small, that's adapted to our situation in life, and let's continue to do it to prepare ourselves for #Christmas: call a person who is alone, visit that elderly or ill person, do something to serve a poor person, someone in need. #Advent — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The Season of #Advent is meant for us to stop and ask ourselves how to prepare for #Christmas. We are so busy with all the preparations, with gifts and things that pass. But let us ask ourselves what we should do for Jesus and for others! — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The #Christmas tree is a symbol of rebirth, God's gift by which He is united forever to humanity. He gives us His life. The lights on the fir tree recall the light of Jesus, the light of love that continues to shine in the world's nights. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

I express my closeness to the population of the Philippines, struck by a strong typhoon that has caused many deaths and destroyed so many homes. May the “Santo Niño” bring consolation and hope to the families of those most affected. #PrayTogether — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The first act of charity we can do for our neighbour is to offer a serene and smiling face. It is to bring them the joy of Jesus, as Mary did with Elizabeth. #GospelOfTheDay — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us look into the eyes of the discarded people we meet, let us be provoked by the faces of children, the children of desperate migrants. Let us allow ourselves to be moved by their suffering in order to react to our indifference. #MigrantsDay — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Each of life's stages is a time to believe, hope and love. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

#Christmas symbols, especially the creche and trimmed tree, bring us back to the certainty that fills the heart with peace, with joy for the Incarnation, to God who becomes familiar: He dwells with us, He fills our days with the rhythm of hope. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

In the past few hours there has been a devastating explosion in #Haiti in which many people, including children, lost their lives. I am close to the families of the victims, as well as the injured. Let us #PrayTogether for these our brothers and sisters who are so sorely tried. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

As we draw near to #Christmas, let us learn from Saint Joseph how to cultivate spaces for silence in which another Word can emerge, that of the Holy Spirit who dwells in us. #GeneralAudience — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

#Advent invites us to prepare ourselves for Christmas, welcoming Jesus without fear. If we open wide the doors of our life, everything takes on a new light and our family, work, suffering, health, friendship, become opportunities to discover His consoling presence. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Life is a time for making decisive, eternal choices. Trivial choices lead to a trivial life; great choices to a life of greatness. In fact, we become what we choose. If we choose God, we grow daily in his love, and if we choose to love others, we find true happiness. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us #PrayTogether for dear Ukraine, so that the tensions be resolved through dialogue, not with weapons. I am saddened that this year more weapons were produced than last year. Weapons are not the way. May this year’s celebration of the Lord's Birth bring peace to Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

"What should we do?" (Lk. 3:10). With this question, the #GospelOfTheDay reminds us that life has a task for us. Life is a gift that the Lord grants us, saying to us: discover who you are, and work hard to make the dream that is your life come true! — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Today I would like to extend my best wishes to Caritas Internationalis on its 70th anniversary. May you continue to witness to and incarnate the love of the Church for the poor and the most vulnerable all over the world! @iamcaritas — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

God never tires of waiting for us. When we turn away, He comes to look for us; when we fall, He picks us up; when we return to Him after losing our way, He waits for us with open arms. His love is always gives us the courage to start anew. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

We’re all called to contribute courageously and decisively to respect everyone’s basic rights, especially of those who are ‘invisible’: the hungry and thirsty, the naked, the sick, strangers or prisoners, those living on the margins or are discarded from society. #HumanRightsDay — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

In this period of recovery, it will not be anxious efforts to recover what was lost that will ensure and consolidate growth, but the commitment to promote the recovery of society, especially through a decisive fight against corruption. #AnticorruptionDay — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

In her humility, Mary she knows she receives everything from God. Therefore, free from herself, she is completely turned toward God and others. #MaryImmaculate does not look on herself. This is true humility: not looking on oneself, but looking toward God and others. — PolitiTweet.org
