O Lord, grant us the courage to change course, to be converted, to follow your will and not our own; to go forward together, towards you, who by your Spirit wish to make us one. #ChristianUnity vatican.va/content/france…

Pope Francis 17 hours ago

Like Saul before his encounter with Christ, we need to change course, to invert the route of our habits and our ways, in order to find the path that the Lord points out to us: the path of humility, fraternity and adoration. #ChristianUnity

Pope Francis 22 hours ago

Let us progress together in seeking God boldly and in concrete ways. Let us keep our gaze ever fixed on Christ (Heb 12.2) and remain close to one another in #prayer. #ChristianUnity

Pope Francis 2 days ago

We have set out on a journey led by God’s kindly light that dissipates the darkness of division and directs our journey towards unity. The world needs God’s light, and that light shines only in love, in communion and in fraternity.

It is only by paying attention to whom we listen, to what we listen, and to how we listen that we can grow in the art of communicating, the heart of which is not a theory or a technique, but the openness of heart that makes closeness posible. #WCD vatican.va/content/france…

I am following with concern the increase of tensions that threaten to inflict a new blow to peace in Ukraine and call into question the security of the European Continent. Therefore, I propose that next Wednesday, 26 January be a day of prayer for peace.

The Word of God is the beacon that guides the synodal journey that has begun throughout the Church. As we strive to listen to each other, with attention and discernment, let us listen together to the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. #Synod

Pope Francis 3 days ago

By the power of the Holy Spirit, the Word of God has come to dwell among us and it desires to continue to dwell in our midst, in order to fulfil our expectations and to heal our wounds. #SundayoftheWord vatican.va/content/france…

Pope Francis 3 days ago

The word of God nurtures and renews faith: let us put it back at the centre of our prayer and our spiritual life! #SundayoftheWord

Pope Francis 3 days ago

At the heart of the life of God’s holy people and our journey of faith are not ourselves and our own words. At its heart is God and his word. #SundayoftheWord

Pope Francis 4 days ago

Let us ask the Lord for the strength to turn off the television and open the Bible, to turn off our cell phone and open the Gospel. It will make us feel God’s closeness to us and fill us with courage as we make our way through life. #WordOfGod

Pope Francis 4 days ago

#ChristianUnity is not attained so much by agreement about some shared value, but by doing something concrete together for those who bring us closest to the Lord: the poor, for in them Jesus is present (Mt 25:40). Sharing in works of charity helps us make greater progress.

Pope Francis 5 days ago

The Word brings us close to God. Let us carry it with us always, in a place where we can remember to open it daily, so that amid all those words that ring in our ears, there may also be a few verses of the #WordOfGod that can touch our hearts.

Pope Francis 5 days ago

The unity for which Jesus prayed, which certainly demands mature freedom born of firm decisions, endurance and sacrifice, is the reason for the world to believe. #Prayer #ChristianUnity

Pope Francis 6 days ago

Praying together for one another and cooperating in charity with one another for the sake of this world which God loves so much: this is the most concrete route to full unity. #ChristianUnity

Pope Francis 7 days ago

Let us #PrayTogether for the people of the islands of Tonga, who were struck in recent days by a volcanic eruption that has caused enormous material damage. We ask the Lord to relieve the suffering of these brothers and sisters.

Pope Francis 7 days ago

Today let us #PrayTogether for those who are in prison. May God's tenderness reach them in their journey of reparation and return to society, and bring forth in each of us a strong desire for conversion. #GeneralAudience

Pope Francis 7 days ago

Tenderness is not a question of emotion or sentiment: it is the experience of feeling loved and welcomed even in our poverty and misery, and thus transformed by God's love. #GeneralAudience

Pope Francis 1 week ago

Like the Magi who came from the East to Bethlehem to honour the Messianic King, we Christians are also pilgrims on the way toward full unity, in the diversity of our confessions and traditions. Let us #PrayTogether and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, our only Lord. #ChristianUnity

Pope Francis 1 week ago

It is love that transforms: ordinary things become extraordinary when they are done with love.
