Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us begin anew from the numerous examples of generous, freely-given love, which in these months have shown us how much closeness, care, and sacrifice are needed to nourish fraternity and civil coexistence. In this way, we will emerge from this crisis stronger. — PolitiTweet.org

In these difficult times, your work as maritime personnel and fishermen has become even more important. Today I would like to offer you a message of hope, comfort and consolation. #SeafarersAreKeyWorkers https://t.co/qZLcgceiuY — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

#Prayer arises from the conviction that life is not something that takes us by surprise, but a stupefying mystery that inspires in us poetry, music, gratitude, praise, even lament and supplication. #GeneralAudience — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The birth of #JohnTheBaptist to elderly parents teaches us that God does not rely on our reasoning and limited human abilities. We must learn to trust, to be silent before the mystery of God, and to contemplate His works in humility and silence. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

God created us for communion, for fraternity. Now more than ever the pretense of focusing everything on ourselves, making individualism society’s guiding principle, has proven illusory. We have to be careful! When the emergency is over we can easily fall back into this illusion. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The Word of God is given to us as the Word of life, which transforms, renews, and does not judge in order to condemn, but heals and has forgiveness as its aim. A Word that is light for our steps! — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

In this Sunday's Gospel (Mt 10:26-33) Jesus invites us not to be afraid, to be strong and confident in the face of life's challenges, because even when we encounter setbacks, our lives rest firmly in God’s hands, who loves us and takes care of us. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Dear young people, let us ask for the grace of a new heart through the intercession of your patron #StAloysiusGonzaga, a courageous young man who never retreated from serving others, to the point of giving his life to care for plague victims. May the Lord change our hearts! — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Dear Doctors and Nurses, the world saw how much good you did in a very difficult situation. Even when you were exhausted, you continued dedicating yourselves with professionalism and self-sacrifice. This generates hope. My esteem and sincere thanks go to you! — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Jesus is present, as He was at the time of Herod, in each person forced to flee to safety. In their faces we are called to see Christ’s face who pleads with us to help. In the end, we will be the ones to thank Him for being able to love and serve. #WorldRefugeeDay — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

I invite you to pray for priests, so that through your prayer the Lord might strengthen their vocation, comfort them in their ministry, and help them always be joyful ministers of the Gospel for all people. #SanctificationOfPriests — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict. Let us remember that women embody within themselves the protection of life, communion, and the desire to care for all things. The way we treat women’s bodies reveals our level of humanity. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The Lord always watches over us with mercy. Let us not be afraid of approaching him! He has a merciful heart! If we show him our inner wounds, our inner sins, he will always forgive us. It is pure mercy! Let us go to Jesus! #SacredHeartofJesus — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The Lord cannot enter into hard or ideological hearts. The Lord enters into hearts that are like His: hearts that are open and compassionate. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

To pray means to intercede for the world, to remember that despite all its frailties, it always belongs to God. #GeneralAudience #Prayer — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The Lord urges us to remember, repair, rebuild, and to do so together, never forgetting those who suffer. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Our principle of unity is the Holy Spirit who reminds us that above all we are God’s beloved children. He comes to us, in our differences and difficulties to tell us that we have one Lord, Jesus, and one Father. For this reason we are brothers and sisters! — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The #Covid19 pandemic has shown that our societies are not organized well enough to make room for the elderly, with proper respect for their dignity and frailty. When the elderly are not cared for, there is no future for the young. #WEAAD2020 — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

World Blood Donor Day is an opportunity to encourage society to be in solidarity with those in need. I express my appreciation to all those who perform this simple but very important act of helping others. #WBDD2020 — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

I urge international bodies and those who have political and military responsibilities to search for a path to peace in #Libya. I pray for the thousands of migrants, refugees and internally displaced persons and call on the international community to take their plight to heart. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

In the Eucharist, Jesus draws close to us. Let us not turn away from those around us, those who hunger for food and dignity, those without work, and those who struggle to carry on. Genuine closeness is needed, as are true bonds of solidarity. https://t.co/aFYP6HCrbX — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The Lord, offering himself to us in the simplicity of bread,invites us not to waste our lives in chasing the myriad illusions that we think we cannot do without,yet that leave us empty within. The Eucharist satisfies our hunger for material things and kindles our desire to serve. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The Lord knows that evil and sins do not define us; they are diseases, infections. And he comes to heal them with the Eucharist, which contains the antibodies to our negative memory. With Jesus, we can become immune to sadness. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

God knows how weak our memory is, so He has done something remarkable: He left us a memorial. He left us Bread in which He is present, alive and true, with all the flavour of His love. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us ask for the grace to approach everyone as a brother or sister, and never to regard anyone as an enemy. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

“Stretch forth your hand to the poor” (Sir 6:7). Age-old wisdom has proposed these words as a sacred rule to be followed in life. https://t.co/VrlvpZZc47 — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

If we draw God’s mercy, forgiveness, and tenderness from the #HeartOfJesus, then our heart too will gradually become more patient, more generous, and more merciful. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Many children are forced into jobs that are inappropriate for their age, depriving them of their childhood and jeopardizing their integral development. I appeal to institutions to spare no effort to protect minors. #NoChildLabourDay — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Jesus welcomes sinners and eats with them. The same happens with us, in every Mass, in every church: Jesus is happy to welcome us at His table, where He offers Himself for us. #CorpusDomini — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

In our darkest moments, when we sin or are disoriented, we always have an appointment with God. We do not need to be afraid, because God will change our hearts and give us the blessing reserved for those who allow Him to change them. #GeneralAudience — PolitiTweet.org
