I urge everyone to persevere in demonstrating through closeness and solidarity to the battered people of Ukraine who are suffering very much, asking for the gift of the peace for them. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Jesus, Crucified and Risen, the Living One and the Lord, was the destination to which Pope Benedict led us, taking us by the hand. May he help us rediscover in Christ the joy of believing and the hope of living. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Discernment is an art that can be learned and has its own rules. Let us ask the Holy Spirit to place on our path people who can accompany us on our journey toward God. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

When we have strong feelings of doubt and fear, and we seem to be sinking, we must not be ashamed to cry out like Peter: “Lord, save me” (Mt 14:30). This is a beautiful prayer! And Jesus immediately stretches out his hand. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

God does not love us in word but in deed; not from “on high”, from far away, but “up close”, from within our flesh, because in Mary, the Word was made flesh, because in Christ's chest a heart of flesh continues to beat, it beats for each and every of us! — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

At this time, let us invoke the intercession of Mary Most Holy for Pope emeritus Benedict XVI. Let us all join together, with one heart and one soul, in thanking God for the gift of this faithful servant of the Gospel and of the Church. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

In celebrating the World Day of Peace, let us implore Mary Most Holy, the Mother of God, so that in this epoch, polluted by diffidence and indifference, she might make us capable of being compassionate and providing care. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us pray to our Mother in a special way for her children who are suffering and no longer have the strength to pray, and for our many brothers and sisters throughout the world who are victims of war, passing these holidays immersed in violence and indifference. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The divine motherhood of Mary reveals God’s utmost respect for our freedom. God could have come into the world in a thousand ways manifesting his power and, instead, willed to be conceived in full freedom in Mary’s womb. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Even when we feel plunged into a dark and difficult maelstrom of injustice and suffering, we are still called to keep our hearts open to hope, trusting in God who accompanies us with tenderness, sustains us, and guides us along our way. #Peace https://t.co/HPD1G644yN — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

To all men and women of good will, I express my desire that, as artisans of #peace, you may work, day by day, to make this a good year! May Mary Immaculate, Mother of Jesus and Queen of Peace, intercede for us and for the whole world. — PolitiTweet.org

The Baby Jesus, with his Mother Mary, and St Joseph, radiate the light of mercy and salvation for the human family and for individual families. This light encourages us to offer human warmth to those family living through difficult situations. #HolyFamily — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

God loves us so much that He shares our humanity and our lives. He never leaves us alone either in joy or in sorrow because He is the Emmanuel, the God with us, the light that illuminates the darkness and the tender presence that accompanies us on our journey. #Christmas — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us #PrayTogether for Pope Emeritus Benedict who is supporting the Church in silence. Let us ask the Lord to console him and to sustain him in this witness of love for the Church, until the end. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

"Everything pertains to love" is the title of the Apostolic Letter to be published today to commemorate the fourth centenary of the death of Saint Francis de Sales, Doctor of the Church. https://t.co/TPGtpFkG91 — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The Love of God that was revealed in Bethlehem brings consolation to our hearts troubled by the drama of the war in #Ukraine and in other parts of the world. Let us remember that the last word in the history of humanity belongs to God because "everything pertains to love". — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

#Prayer is the best way to say thank you to Jesus who wamts to enter into our homes and into our hearts. #Christmas — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

I reiterate my wish for #peace: peace in families, peace in parish and religious communities, peace in movements and associations, peace for those peoples tormented by war, peace for the dear and embattled Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us ask the newborn Jesus for the newness of a heart capable of forgiveness: the strength to pray for those who have hurt us and to take steps of openness and reconciliation. #Christmas — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Today as then, Jesus comes into a world that does not welcome him (cf. Jn 1:11), that rather rejects or ignores him, as we do so often with foreigners and with the poor. Let's not forget the refugees, the marginalized, people who are alone, orphans and the elderly, prisoners. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Bethlehem shows us God’s simplicity, who reveals himself to those with pure and open hearts. Let’s allow ourselves to be moved by God's love who became man for our salvation. Let’s follow Jesus who stripped himself of his glory so we could share in his fullness. Merry Christmas! — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

In these times people are living through conflicts in Syria, the Holy Land, Lebanon, the Sahel, Yemen... May the Lord lead these regions toward #peace and bring reconciliation to the American continent, to Myanmar and to Iran so that all bloodshed might cease. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us see the faces of our brothers and sisters in #Ukraine who are experiencing this #Christmas in the dark and cold, far from their own homes, because of the war. May the Lord enlighten the minds of those who have the power to put an immediate end to this senseless war! — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

If we want it to be #Christmas, the Birth of Jesus and of peace, let us look at the face of the Child who is born for us! And in that small, innocent face, let us recognize the faces of all those children who long for #peace in every part of the world. https://t.co/l1sijXbyhS — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

In Jesus, God makes us His children and nourishes us with His tenderness. He comes to touch our hearts and to tell us that love is the only force that changes the course of history. #Christmas https://t.co/sylnCelAaf — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Jesus asks us to go to the bare reality of things, to lay down all our excuses, our justifications and our hypocrisies at the feet of the manger. He whom Mary tenderly wrapped in swaddling wants us to be clothed in love. #Christmas — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Tonight, God draws near to you because you are important to him. From the manger, as food for your life, He tells you: “If you feel consumed by events, if you are devoured by a sense of guilt and inadequacy, if you hunger for justice, I am with you. #Christmas — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

And if we truly want to celebrate #Christmas, let us rediscover awe before a God who becomes little, who is not born in splendour, but in the poverty of a stable. To meet Him, we must go where He is. We must lower ourselves, make ourselves little. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us ask Mary, the Virgin of Sweet Expectation, to teach us how to "watch and pray" so we do not get distracted in our following of her Son, and to discover His saving presence in the events of our daily lives. #Advent — PolitiTweet.org
