We do not weave the fabric of human history by lumping together unverified information, repeating banal and falsely persuasive speeches, and shocking others with declarations of hatred. These actions strip people of their dignity. #NoToHate

We cannot speak of Jesus without joy, because faith is a wonderful love story to be shared. Bearing witness to Jesus, and doing something for others in His name, means testifying to this beautiful gift that words alone cannot express.

The Lord plants the seeds of His Word and grace in us, and patiently waits for them to grow and bear the fruits of good works. God desires that nothing in His field be lost but reach full maturity. #GospelOfTheDay (Mk 4:26-34)

How many times are the elderly discarded with an attitude of abandonment, which is actually real and hidden euthanasia! It is the result of a throw away culture which is so harmful to our world. We are all called to oppose this poisonous, throw away culture!

To speak of technology is to speak of what it means to be human and thus of our unique status as beings who possess both freedom and responsibility. This involves a discussion of ethics. #IA #G7 vatican.va/content/france…

It is easier to laugh together than alone. Joy opens us to sharing and is the best antidote to selfishness and individualism.

In this #YearOfPrayer , we need to make the prayer of the poor our own and pray together with them. vatican.va/content/france…

Receiving the Word of God in our hearts can fill our day with light and enliven our prayer. #GeneralAudience

When the #WordOfGod , infused with the Holy Spirit, is received with an open heart, it never leaves things as they were before.

Cultivating our relationship with the Lord gives us strong roots that will sustain the projects we wish to undertake.

Jesus preached and healed the sick by the power of the Holy Spirit. And it was precisely the Spirit that made him divinely free, that is, capable of loving and serving without measure or conditioning. #GospelOfTheDay (Mk 3:20-35)

Let us pause today at 1 PM to pray at least #OneMinuteForPeace , asking the Immaculate Heart of Mary to intercede for us before Jesus. Let us #PrayTogether : ‘Queen of the human family, show your people the path of fraternity. Queen of peace, obtain peace for our world.’

Lord, disarm our tongues and hands. Renew our hearts and minds, so that the words that bring us together are always “brother and sister.” May the style of our life become: shalom, peace, salam! Amen. #PeaceInTheHolyLand vatican.va/content/france…

If we truly want to love God, we must be passionate about humanity and every human being, especially those who experience pain, abandonment and rejection. The #SacredHeart of Jesus is made manifest in these conditions.
