The #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 24:35-48) is one of my favorites: "Their joy kept them from believing" (v. 41). To be filled with joy: It is not merely being happy, positive, but is something else. It is to be filled with consolation, filled with the Lord's presence. #HomilySantaMarta — PolitiTweet.org

Let us #PrayTogether for pharmacists. They are working hard, together with doctors and nurses, to help the sick get better. https://t.co/Xp51CfuurX — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

They are called children of God who have learned the art of peace and exercise it, knowing that there is no reconciliation without the gift of one’s own life, and that peace must be sought always and in every situation. #Beatitudes #GeneralAudience — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

God's faithfulness is a patient fidelity to His people. God listens, guides, explains slowly, and kindles the heart as He did with the two disciples who had traveled far from Jerusalem: He made their hearts burn so they would return home. #HomilySantaMarta — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us #PrayTogether for the elderly, especially those who are isolated or in rest homes and are afraid of dying alone. They are our roots. They gave us the faith, tradition, and a sense of belonging. Let us pray that the Lord might be near to them. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Jesus' resurrection shows us that death does not have the last world; life does. Christ has been raised, so it is possible to have a positive outlook on every event of our existence, even the most difficult ones and those charged with anguish and uncertainty. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

To repent means returning to faithfulness. Today let us ask for the grace to look beyond our own security, and to be faithful even before the tomb and the collapse of so many illusions. Remaining faithful is not easy. May the Lord keep us faithful. #HomilySantaMarta — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us #PrayTogether that the Lord might give us the grace of unity among us. In these difficulties times, may He allow us to discover the communion that binds us and the unity which is greater than any division. https://t.co/NDtmlcEmmH — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

In the #GospelOfTheDay we hear that the women proclaimed Jesus' Resurrection to the disciples. Today I would like to remember the efforts that so many women make to take care of others, even during this health crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

We will either bet on life, in favor of the resurrection of our people, or we will bet on the god of money, turning back to the tomb of hunger, slavery, war, the making of weapons, of children without an education. #HomilySantaMarta https://t.co/DDxnokvMcX — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us #PrayTogether for government leaders, scientists and politicians who are beginning to study a way out of the pandemic, though its "aftermath" has already begun. May they find the right way, always for the good of their people. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Dear brothers and sisters, Indifference, self-centredness, division and forgetfulness are not words we want to hear at this time. We want to ban these words for ever! https://t.co/nZzOBsR0J6 — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

In this night, the Church’s voice rings out: “Christ, my hope, is risen!”. This is a different “contagion”, a message transmitted from heart to heart – for every human heart awaits this Good News. It is the contagion of hope: “Christ, my hope, is risen!”. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Tonight we acquire a fundamental right: the right to hope. It is a new and living hope that comes from God. It is not mere optimism; it is a gift from heaven, which we could not have earned on our own. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us silence the cries of death, no more wars! Since we need bread, not guns. Let the abortion and killing of innocent lives end. May the hearts of those who have enough be open to filling the empty hands of those who do not have the bare necessities. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Do not be afraid, do not yield to fear: This is the message of hope. It is addressed to us, today. These are the words that God repeats to us this very night. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us direct our gaze to the Man of the Shroud, in whom we recognize the features of the Servant of the Lord, which Jesus accomplished in His Passion. Participate in the prayer before the Holy Shroud through the media at 5 PM: https://t.co/mfPrQND5HJ — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

This Face disfigured by wounds communicates great peace. His gaze is directed not to our eyes but to our heart, as if to say: Have faith, do not lose hope. The power of the love of God, the power of the Risen One overcomes all things. #HolyShroud https://t.co/9LfmSCtf18 — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Gaze upon the outstretched arms of Christ crucified, let yourself be saved over and over again. #PrayTogether #GoodFriday https://t.co/nV9MOuzQRb — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us #PrayTogether. Follow the Easter Triduum liturgies: https://t.co/mfPrQND5HJ https://t.co/dIEImLQ3UW — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Dear brother priests, we have been anointed to anoint, to give of ourselves. Let us #PrayTogether today asking for the humility to protect this gift of anointing, and imploring God's mercy for the people entrusted to us and for the entire world. #HolyThursday — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

From the open heart of the Crucified one, God’s love reaches each one of us. Let us allow His gaze to rest on us. We will understand that we are not alone, but loved, for the Lord does not abandon us and He never, ever forgets us. #GeneralAudience — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let's think of the little Judas that we all have within ourselves. Every one of us is capable of choosing between loyalty and self-interest. We are each capable of betraying, of selling, of making choices based on our own interests. Where are you, Judas? #HomilySantaMarta — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

Let us pray today for the people doing business with those in need during this pandemic, who seek to profit from the needs of others and "sell" them. May the Lord touch and convert their hearts. #PrayTogether — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

In these holy days let us stand before the Crucified One and let us ask for the grace to live in order to serve. May we reach out to those who are suffering and those most in need. May we not be concerned about what we lack, but what good we can do for others. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

There are always times in life when we fall, each one of us is a sinner. But what matters is our attitude before God. We ask for the grace to persevere in service and, when we fall, the grace to weep as Peter wept. #HomilySantaMarta — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

In these days of #Lent, we've been witnessing the persecution that Jesus underwent and how He was judged ferociously, even though He was innocent. Let us #PrayTogether today for all those persons who suffer due to an unjust sentence because of someone had it in for them. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

The tragedy we are experiencing summons us to take seriously the things that are serious, and not to be caught up in those that matter less; to rediscover that life is of no use if not used to serve others. For life is measured by love. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

We will be judged on our relationship with the poor. When Jesus says, "The poor you will always have with you", he is saying, "I will always be with you in the poor; I will be present there". This is at the center of the Gospel, so much so that we will be judged on it. — PolitiTweet.org

Pope Francis @Pontifex

In those prisons that are overcrowded, there is the danger that this pandemic will end up as a grave tragedy. Let us #PrayTogether for those responsible, for those who must make decisions, so that they might find a correct and creative way to resolve this problem. — PolitiTweet.org
