Sick

Let us imitate the attitude of Jesus toward the sick: he takes care of everyone, He shares their suffering and opens their hearts to hope.

Prayer

Nothing is impossible if we turn to God in prayer. We can all be builders of peace.

Salaam

Lord, God of peace, hear our prayer and grant us peace in the Holy Land. Shalom, salaam, peace!

Pure eyes

The Kingdom of God is already in our midst like a hidden seed. Anyone with pure eyes can see it blossom.

Holocaust

Today I want to remember in my heart all the victims of the Holocaust. May their sufferings and their tears never be forgotten.

Hope

Hope lets new life blossom, like a plant that grows from the seed fallen on the earth.

Encounter

I love to repeat that Christian unity is achieved by walking together, by encounter, prayer and preaching the Gospel.

Good News

Let us offer the men and women of our time stories marked by the logic of the “good news”

Fear

“Be not afraid, for I am with you”. Let us communicate hope and trust in our time!

Wonders

The unity of love is realised when we announce together the wonders God has done for us.

St Dominick

With St Dominic “we go forward with joy, thinking of our Saviour”.

Gift

Christian unity is not the fruit of our human efforts but a gift that comes from above.

Unity

We invoke Christian unity because we invoke Christ. We want to live unity: we want to follow Christ and to live in His love.

Need

From the intimacy of our faith in Jesus Christ comes our need to be united in Him.

Active

Peace is an “active virtue”, one that calls for the engagement and cooperation of each individual and society as a whole.

True peace

There can never be true peace as long as a single human being is violated in his or her personal identity.

Child migrants

May the Holy Family watch over all child migrants and accompany the vulnerable and the voiceless on their journey. @M_RSection

Children

Children forced to flee, especially if fleeing alone, are most defenceless and vulnerable. Let's pray for them and help them.

Migrants

Young migrants, especially when unaccompanied, are especially defenceless. Let everyone offer them a helping hand.

Indifference

Pope Francis‏ @Pontifex Everyone can help bring about a culture of mercy, in which no one looks at another with indifference.

Peace

My hope is that our countries and their peoples may find increased opportunities to work together in building true peace.

Rights

There can be no true peace if everyone claims always and exclusively his or her own rights, without caring for the good of others.

Baptism

Let us ask the Virgin Mary to help us follow Christ on the way of faith and charity, the path set out by our Baptism.

East

Let us remember our Christian brothers and sisters of the East, Catholics and Orthodox, who are celebrating Christmas today.

Magi

Like the Magi, may we also journey and be attentive, untiring and courageous on the path to find the invisible God who was born among us.

Charity

May charity and nonviolence govern how we treat each other.

Nonviolence

To be true followers of Jesus today also includes embracing his teaching about nonviolence.

Nonviolence

May nonviolence become the hallmark of our decisions, our relationships and our actions.

Peace

At the beginning of this New Year, I offer heartfelt wishes of peace to the world’s peoples and nations.

Mother

Let us entrust the new year to Mary, Mother of God, so that peace and mercy may grow throughout the world.
