Feed

There is great need to feed Christian hope, which gives us a new view capable of discovering and seeing the good.

Peter & Paul

May we entrust ourselves to the intercession of Sts Peter and Paul in order to give witness to God’s liberating action on us.

Look with love

God looks with love upon every one of us.

Gaze

Sharpen your gaze in order to see the signs God shows us in reality.

Torture

Pope Francis @Pontifex·22h

I repeat the firm condemnation of every form of torture and call on everyone to work for its abolishment and support victims and families.

Irreplaceable

Each one of us is precious; each one of us is irreplaceable in God’s eyes.

Mercy

Pope Francis @Pontifex·Jun 24

Mercy warms the heart and makes it sensitive to the needs of brothers and sisters with sharing and participation.

Margins

Go forth and reach out to all people at the margins of society! Go there and be the Church, with the strength of the Holy Spirit.

Let us not be distracted by the false wisdom of this world, but to follow Jesus as the one sure guide who gives meaning to our life.

Dignity

We must not turn our backs on the new forms of poverty and marginalization that prevent people from living a life of dignity.

Refugees

The personal encounter with refugees dispels fears and distorted ideologies and becomes a factor for growth in humanity.

Standing together

None of us is an island, autonomous and independent from others. We can only build the future by standing together, including everyone.

Broken

Pope Francis @Pontifex·5h

Jesus was broken; he is broken for us. This is the Eucharist. And he asks us to give ourselves, to break ourselves, as it were, for others.

Cry

Care for the environment is always a social concern as well. Let us hear both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.7:30 AM · Jun 17, 2017

Good intentions

Love requires a creative, concrete response. Good intentions are not enough. The other is not a statistic, but a person to take care of.

Interactions

Everyone's existence is tied to that of others: life is not time merely passing by, life is about interactions.

Penitence

There is much need of prayer and penitence to implore the grace of conversion and an end to the many wars throughout the world.

Passion

In his passion, Jesus took upon himself all our suffering. He knows the meaning of pain, he understands and comforts us, giving us strength.

Missionary

The Church shines forth when she is missionary, welcoming, free, faithful, poor in means and rich in love.

Leaven

The Feast of the Most Holy Trinity invites us to be a leaven of communion, consolation and mercy.

Generosity

Life can survive only because of the generosity of other lives.

Unity

Each one of us, as a living member of the Body of Christ, is called to work for unity and peace.

Strength

Humility and tenderness are not virtues of the weak, but of the strong.

Every day saints

The Church needs everyday saints, those of ordinary life carried out with coherence.

Flesh

Let’s always remember that our faith is concrete: the Word became flesh, not an idea!

Patrimony

We must never forget that the natural environment is a collective good, the patrimony of all humanity and the responsibility of everyone

Humble

Let us allow ourselves to be humbly led by the Holy Spirit in order to avoid taking the wrong road and closing our hearts.

Protect

Let us promote with courage all necessary means to protect the lives of our children.

Overcome

Through the darkness of today's conflicts, every one of us can become a bright candle, a reminder that light will overcome darkness.

Parents

I thank God for parents who strive to live in love and keep moving forward, even if they fall many times along the way.
