The existence of the human person is but a breath, his or her affairs are fleeting, but those who pray know they are precious in God's eyes. #Prayer

#ПомолимсяВместе о мире в Украине и во всём мире. Нужно перейти от стратегий политической, экономической и военной мощи к глобальному проекту мира. Нет – миру, разделённому между конфликтующими державами; да – миру, объединяющему народы и цивилизации, которые уважают друг друга.

#МолімосяРазом за мир в Україні та в усьому світі! Потрібно перейти від стратегій політичного, економічного та військового впливу до глобального проекту миру: ні світові, поділеному між силами, які конфліктують; так світові єдності між народами і цивілізаціями у взаємопошані.

#LetsPrayTogether for peace in Ukraine and worldwide. Let us pass from strategies of political, economic and military power to a plan for global peace: no to a world divided between conflicting powers; yes to united world of peoples and civilizations that respect each other.

Brothers, sisters, let us not place our trust in wealth and not fear our poverties, material and human. The more we are free and simple, the more the Holy Spirit gudies the mission and makes us agents of his wonders.

Today, #LetsPrayTogether for #peace and reconciliation in the Democratic Republic of the #Congo, so wounded and exploited. Let us join in the Masses celebrated there with this intention, and let us pray that Christians be witnesses of peace.

The evangelizing mission is not based on personal activism, that is, on “doing”, but on the witness of brotherly love, even amid the difficulties that living together entails. #GospelOftheDay (Lk 10:1-12.17-20).

Every time we open our hearts to Jesus, God’s blessing enters our lives.

Pope Francis 3 days ago

Dear brothers and sisters of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of South Sudan, I carry you in my heart more than ever. I hold in prayer the suffering you have borne for a long time. While waiting to meet you, I ask that the Lord's peace descend upon your hearts.

Pope Francis 4 days ago

During difficult moments, let us not close in on ourselves, shutting Jesus out. Let us seek Jesus, return to him, to his forgiveness, to those wounds that have healed us. In this way, we too will become capable of compassion, of approaching the wounds of others.

Let us #PrayTogether for the elderly, who represent the roots and memory of their people, so that their experience and wisdom may help young people to look hopefully and responsibly towards the future. #PrayerIntention

The #Synod we are now celebrating calls us to become a Church that gets up to go out to meet the world, a Church in which everyone feels welcomed, where the art of listening, dialogue and participation are cultivated under the sole authority of the Holy Spirit.

#Drought is a serious problem. It should make us reflect on the care of #creation, which is not a fad, it is everyone's responsibility. The future of the earth is in our hands.

Pope Francis 6 days ago

Every day I carry in my heart the dear and tormented #Ukraine, which continues to be scourged by barbaric attacks. Let us #PrayTogether that the Lord open those paths of dialogue that men are unwilling or unable to find!

Pope Francis 6 days ago

Let us listen together to what the Spirit is saying to the Church. Let us safeguard our communion. The Paschal Mystery has been given to us. Let us allow ourselves to be embraced by the desire that the Lord continues to have to eat His Passover with us.

Desiderio desideravi – with this letter I desire to share with you some reflections on the liturgy, a dimension fundamental for the life of the Church. vatican.va/content/france…

#SaintsPeterandPaul, intercede for us, for the city of Rome, for the Church and the entire world!

Pope Francis 6 days ago

The journey of faith is never a walk in the park, but is a commitment that is sometimes arduous. Even #SaintsPeterandPaul had to learn how to gradually trod it all the way to the end, especially during moments of trial.

Pope Francis 7 days ago

The Christian #faith is fundamentally an encounter with Jesus Christ. If we truly believe in Jesus, we must try to act like Jesus did: encounter others, encounter our neighbours, so as to share the saving truth of the Gospel with them.

I sorrowfully heard the news of the tragedy of the #migrants in Texas and #Melilla. Let us #PrayTogether for these brothers and sisters who died following their hope of a better life; and for ourselves, may the Lord might open our hearts so these misfortunes never happen again.
