By Pope Francis Journey on November 21, 2020

Church Growth Prayer Worship

A closed Church betrays her own identity!

By Pope Francis Journey on November 17, 2020

“The Church’s roots are in the teaching of the apostles, the authentic witnesses of Christ, but she looks to the future, she has the firm consciousness of being sent—sent by Jesus—of being missionary, bearing the name of Jesus by her prayer, proclaiming it and testifying to it. A Church…

Mercy Prayer Sin

The one who humbles himself will be exalted

By Pope Francis Journey on November 13, 2020

“He stood off at any distance, but beat his breast and prayed, ‘oh God, be merciful to me as a sinner.’ I tell you, the latter went home justified, not the former; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”…

Forgiveness Judgement Mercy Prayer Sin

How can I be a good confessor?

By Pope Francis Journey on October 25, 2020

How can I be a good confessor?
A priest needs to think of his own sins, to listen with tenderness, to pray to the Lord for a heart as merciful as his, and not to cast the first stone because he, too, is a sinner who needs to be forgiven….

By Pope Francis Journey on September 11, 2020

Remember this: the church is apostolic because we pray – our first duty – and because we proclaim the gospel by our life and by our words.

When we pray, God opens our eyes renews and changes our hearts, heals our wounds and grants us the grace we need. #GeneralAudience #Prayer

12:30 pm · November 25, 2020

Pope Francis

Too often, women are insulted, beaten, raped, forced to prostitute themselves.... If we want a better world, that will be a peaceful home and not a battlefield, we all need to do a lot more for the dignity of each woman.

10:45 am · November 25, 2020

Pope Francis

Let us care for the needs of every man and woman, young and old, with the same fraternal spirit of care and closeness that marked the Good Samaritan. #FratelliTutti

12:30 pm · November 24, 2020

Pope Francis

We were not created to dream about vacations or the weekend, but to make God’s dreams come true in this world. God made us capable of dreaming, so that we could embrace the beauty of life. The works of mercy are the most beautiful works in life.

12:30 pm · November 23, 2020

Pope Francis

Dear young people, let us not give up on great dreams. The Lord does not want us to narrow our horizons or to remain parked on the roadside of life. He wants us to race boldly and joyfully towards lofty goals. #takeupthecross vatican.va/content/f…

1:30 pm · November 22, 2020

Pope Francis

Before pouring out His love for us on the cross, Jesus shares His final wishes. He tells us that the good we do to one of our least brothers and sisters – hungry, thirsty, strangers, in need, sick, imprisoned – we do to Him (Mt 25:37-40). #GospelOfTheDay

12:30 pm · November 22, 2020

Pope Francis

Today, #ChristTheKing Sunday, the Cross and the icon of Mary, Salus Populi Romani, symbols of World Youth Days, begins a new pilgrimage which will lead to Lisbon in 2023. #takeupthecross

11:30 am · November 22, 2020

Pope Francis

Dear young people, the effects of our actions and decisions affect you personally. Therefore, you can’t remain outside the places that are shaping the present and future. You’re either part of them or history will pass you by. #FrancescoEconomy vatican.va/content/f…

5:02 pm · November 21, 2020

Pope Francis

Today we remember Mary’s Presentation in the Temple and celebrate #ProOrantibus Day. Thank you, contemplative sisters and brothers, because you are support for the weak, beacons that signal the port, torches that illuminate the dark night, sentinels who announce the new day.

10:30 am · November 21, 2020

Pope Francis

A pleasure to speak by phone yesterday with my brother @alimamaltayeb, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar. We reaffirm our support to human fraternity as the solution to erase violence, discrimination and hatred in the name of religion. Religions have nothing to do with these. #FratelliTutti

12:30 pm · November 20, 2020

Pope Francis

Every child needs to be welcomed and defended, helped and protected, from the moment of their conception. #WorldChildrensDay

10:30 am · November 20, 2020

Pope Francis

The earth and its poor urgently demand a sound economy and a sustainable development. Therefore, we are called to rethink our mental and moral priorities so that they are in conformity with God’s commandments and the common good.

12:30 pm · November 19, 2020

Pope Francis

“Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart” (Lk 2:19). Everything that happens to her ends up in her heart so that it might pass through the sieve of #prayer and be transfigured by it. #GeneralAudience

12:30 pm · November 18, 2020

Pope Francis

Even a smile that we can share with the poor is a source of love. An outstretched hand can always be enriched by the smile of those who quietly and unassumingly offer to help, inspired only by the joy of living as one of Christ’s disciples.

12:30 pm · November 17, 2020

Pope Francis

Every form of fundamentalist intolerance damages relationships between individuals, groups and peoples. Let us be committed to living and teaching the value of respect, a love capable of welcoming differences, and the priority of the dignity of every human being. #TolleranceDay

12:30 pm · November 16, 2020

Pope Francis

I am near in prayer to the dear people of the #Philippines who are suffering because of the destruction, and especially because of the flooding caused by a strong #typhoon. I express my solidarity to the poorest families and those who are doing all they can to help them.

2:30 pm · November 15, 2020

Pope Francis

Hold out your hand to the poor, instead of demanding what you lack. In this way, you will multiply the talents you have received. (Mt 25:14-30) #WorldDayOfThePoor #GospelOfTheDay vatican.va/content/f…

11:30 am · November 15, 2020

The Lord’s blessing descends upon us and prayer attains its goal when accompanied by service to the poor. #WorldDayOfThePoor vatican.va/content/f…

12:30 pm · November 14, 2020

Pope Francis

The ability to stretch forth our hand shows that we possess an innate capacity to act in ways that give meaning to life. #WorldDayOfThePoor

12:30 pm · November 13, 2020

Pope Francis

Generosity that supports the weak, consoles the afflicted, relieves suffering and restores dignity to those stripped of it, is a condition for a fully human life. #WorldDayOfThePoor

12:30 pm · November 12, 2020

Pope Francis

The one who prays is never alone. In fact, Jesus welcomes us in His prayer so that we might pray in Him and through Him. This is the work of the Holy Spirit. The Gospel invites us to pray to the Father in Jesus’s name. #Prayer #GeneralAudience

1:00 pm · November 11, 2020

Pope Francis

Yesterday, the Report on the sad case of former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick was published. I renew my closeness to the victims of sexual abuse and the Church's commitment to eradicate this evil. vatican.va/resources…

12:00 pm · November 11, 2020

Pope Francis

Today we celebrate the liturgical memorial of #SaintMartin, Bishop of Tours, a great Pastor in the Church who distinguished himself with evangelical charity toward the poor and marginalized. May his example teach us to be ever more courageous in the faith and generous in charity.

10:30 am · November 11, 2020

Pope Francis

Society is enriched by the dialogue between science and faith, which opens up new horizons for thought. The light of faith needs to enlighten scientific advances so that they respect the centrality of the human person. #WorldScienceDay

12:30 pm · November 10, 2020

Pope Francis

Today, on the Feast of the Dedication of the Basilica of St John Lateran, we recall that the Lord desires to dwell in every heart. Even if we should distance ourselves from Him, the Lord needs only three days to reconstruct His temple within us" (See Jn 2:19)

12:30 pm · November 9, 2020

Pope Francis

Let us pray for the populations of Central America who were hit by a violent hurricane. May the Lord welcome the deceased, comfort their families and sustain those most in need, as well as all those who are doing all they can to help them.

2:30 pm · November 8, 2020

Pope Francis

I am following with concern the news arriving from Ethiopia. While I urge that the temptation of an armed conflict be rejected, I invite everyone to prayer and to fraternal respect, to dialogue and to a peaceful end to the disagreements.

1:30 pm · November 8, 2020

Pope Francis

"Faith working through love" (Gal 5:6) is the shining lamp with which we can pass through the night beyond death and reach the great feast of life. #GospelOfTheDay (Mt 25:1-13)

11:30 am · November 8, 2020

Pope Francis

All of us are able to give without expecting anything in return, to do good to others without demanding that they treat us well in return. As Jesus told his disciples: “Without cost you have received, without cost you are to give” (Mt 10:8). #FratelliTutti

12:30 pm · November 7, 2020

Pope Francis

War is the negation of all rights and a dramatic assault on the environment. If we want true integral human development for all, we must work tirelessly to avoid war. #EnvironmentConflictDay #FratelliTutti

Pope Francis

Prayer for the deceased, raised in the trust that they dwell with God, extends its benefits to us too: it educates us in a true vision of life; it opens us up to true freedom, disposing us to the continuous search for eternal goods. vatican.va/content/f…

2:38 pm · November 5, 2020

Pope Francis

Let us attend the school of Jesus Christ, teacher of #Prayer. May we learn from Him that prayer is primarily listening and encountering God, an art to be practiced with insistence, the place where we perceive that everything comes from God and returns to Him. #GeneralAudience

12:30 pm · November 4, 2020

Pope Francis

I express my sorrow and dismay for the terrorist attack in #Vienna, and I pray for the victims and their families. Enough violence! Let us together strengthen peace and fraternity. Only love can silence hate.

12:30 pm · November 3, 2020

Pope Francis

Today we pray for all the #FaithfulDeparted and especially for the victims of the #Coronavirus: for those who have died alone, without the caress of their loved ones; and for those who have given their lives serving the sick.

10:00 am · November 2, 2020

Pope Francis

Choosing purity, meekness and mercy; choosing to entrust oneself to the Lord in poverty of spirit and in affliction; dedicating oneself to justice and peace – this means going against the current. This evangelical path was trodden by #AllTheSaints and Blesseds. #GospelOfTheDay

12:00 pm · November 1, 2020

Pope Francis

Every saint is a message which the Holy Spirit takes from the riches of Jesus Christ and gives to his people. #GaudeteEtExsultate #AllSaintsDay pic.twitter.com/7kG5…

10:30 am · November 1, 2020

Pope Francis

We need to look at our cities with a contemplative gaze, a gaze of faith which sees God dwelling in homes, on the streets and squares. This presence must be found, discovered. God does not hide himself from those who seek him with a sincere heart. #WorldCitiesDay

12:30 pm · October 31, 2020

Pope Francis

Jesus challenges us to put aside all differences and, in the face of suffering, to draw near to others with no questions asked. #FratelliTutti

12:30 pm · October 30, 2020

Pope Francis

I am close to the Catholic community of #Nice, mourning the attack that sowed death in a place of prayer and consolation. I pray for the victims, for their families and for the beloved French people, that they may respond to evil with good.

12:30 pm · October 29, 2020

Pope Francis

I unite myself to the pain of the families of the students barbarically killed in #Kumba, #Cameroon. May God enlighten hearts, so that similar acts may never be repeated! I send my affection to the families and all Cameroon, and I invoke the comfort that only God can give.

12:30 pm · October 28, 2020

Pope Francis

“You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased” (Lk 3:22). This simple phrase enables us to intuit something of the mystery of Jesus and of His heart, always turned to the Father. Jesus gave us His own #Prayer, which is His loving dialogue with the Father. #GeneralAudience

11:30 am · October 28, 2020

Pope Francis

Those who love may be sure that none of their acts of love will be lost, nor any of their acts of sincere concern for others, nor any single act of love for God, nor any generous effort, nor any painful endurance. All of these enfold our world like a vital force. #FratelliTutti

12:30 pm · October 27, 2020

Pope Francis

Kindness frees us from the cruelty that at times infects human relationships, from the anxiety that prevents us from thinking of others, from the frantic flurry of activity that forgets that others also have a right to be happy. #FratelliTutti

12:30 pm · October 26, 2020

Pope Francis

Let us pray to the Lord for Nigeria, so that every form of violence might always be avoided, in the constant search of social harmony through the promotion of justice and the common good.

12:09 pm · October 25, 2020

Pope Francis

What is not expressed in love of neighbour is not true love of God; and, likewise, what is not drawn from one's relationship with God is not true love of neighbour. #GospelOfTheDay (Mt 22:34-40)

11:30 am · October 25, 2020

Pope Francis

If we want true integral human development for all, war must be avoided, ensuring the rule of law and tireless recourse to negotiation and arbitration. The United Nation ’s Charter applies transparently and sincerely, and is an reference point of justice and a peace. #UNDay

11:30 am · October 24, 2020

Pope Francis

Life without fraternal gratuitousness becomes a form of frenetic commerce, constantly weighing what we give and what we get back. God, instead, gives freely, helping even those who are unfaithful; he “makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good” (Mt 5:45). #FratelliTutti

11:30 am · October 23, 2020

Pope Francis

St #JohnPaulII and his passion for life and fascination with the mystery of God, of the world and of humankind was an extraordinary gift of God to the Church. Let us remember his faith: may it be an example to lives as witnesses today.

11:05 am · October 22, 2020

Pope Francis

So often today man does not know what is within him, in the depths of his mind and heart.... Therefore, let Christ speak to man. He alone has words of life, of eternal life. #StJohnPaulII

11:00 am · October 22, 2020

Pope Francis

Prayer is the centre of life. If there is prayer, even a brother, a sister, becomes important. Those who adore God, love His children. Those who respect God, respect human beings. #GeneralAudience

11:30 am · October 21, 2020

Pope Francis

To all believers, and to men and women of good will, we say: let us become creative artisans of peace, let us build social friendship, let us make our own the culture of dialogue. #Peaceandfraternity vatican.va/content/f…

5:10 pm · October 20, 2020

Pope Francis

“Enough!” says Jesus (Lk 22:38), when his disciples produce two swords before the Passion. “Enough!” That single word of Jesus echoes through the centuries and reaches us forcefully in our own time: enough of swords, weapons, violence and war!

5:06 pm · October 20, 2020

Pope Francis

The “gospel” of save yourself is not the Gospel of salvation. It is the falsest of the apocryphal gospels, making others carry the cross. Whereas the true Gospel bids us take up the cross of others. #Peaceandfraternity

3:05 pm · October 20, 2020

Pope Francis

Our present gathering represents an incentive to religious leaders and to all believers to pray fervently for peace, never resigned to war, but working with the gentle strength of faith to end conflicts. #Peaceandfraternity youtube.com/watch?v=…

2:10 pm · October 20, 2020

Pope Francis

I invite you again to take the #Rosary and lift up your gaze to Our Lady, sign of consolation and sure hope. One million children around the world are doing this today, as they pray for unity and peace. #ChildrenPraying

10:30 am · October 19, 2020

Pope Francis

Belonging to Christ, and the resulting way of life, do not isolate the believer from the world, but rather make him or her the protagonist in a service of love for the common good.

11:30 am · October 18, 2020

Pope Francis

The mission, the ‘Church on the move’, is not a programme to be carried out by sheer force of will. It is Christ who makes the Church go out of herself. In the mission of evangelization, you move because the Holy Spirit pushes you, and carries you. #WorldMissionDay

9:30 am · October 18, 2020

Pope Francis

Today and tomorrow, one million children around the world pray the Rosary. May we confidently recite the #Rosary every day. It is a weapon that protects us from evil and temptation. #ChildrenPraying

8:30 am · October 18, 2020

Pope Francis

We need to develop the awareness that nowadays we are either all saved together or no one is saved. #Poverty, decadence and suffering in one part of the earth are a breeding ground for problems that will end up affecting the entire planet. #FratelliTutti #EndPoverty
