Let us ask the Lord to pour His Spirit upon Christian couples and families, so that, as they generously open their doors to Christ and to their brothers and sisters, they may bear authentic witness to a life of faith, hope and charity. #GeneralAudience

I pray for all Christians in Syria
I am close to Armenian Catholics of Qamishli, in Syria, as they gather for the funeral of their parish priest, Father Hovsep Bedoyan, who was killed yesterday together with his father. I pray for them, their families, and for all Christians in Syria.

We ask the Lord to increase our faith in Jesus Christ
We ask the Lord to increase our faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in our hearts: He who assumed our human nature, who became Man in order to fight with our flesh and to conquer in our flesh. #HomilySantaMarta

We must put an end to the culture of waste
We must put an end to the culture of waste, we who pray to the Lord to give us our daily bread. Food waste contributes to hunger and to climate change. https://t.co/eDghYSllVZ

Our time, so rich in knowledge about the universe but so poor in wisdom about eternal life
Listening to the simple and clear words of Jesus about life after death in the #GospelOfToday (Lk 20:27-38) gives great consolation and hope. We need this a lot in our time, so rich in knowledge about the universe but so poor in wisdom about eternal life.

No one, no matter how wounded by evil, is condemned to be separated from God on this earth forever
Jesus, true God and true man, destroyed death, is risen and wants to rise again in the hearts of all. No one, no matter how wounded by evil, is condemned to be separated from God on this earth forever.

Invisible but real and effective bridges, and opens horizons of hope
Prayer always arouses feelings of fraternity, it breaks down barriers, crosses borders, creates invisible but real and effective bridges, and opens horizons of hope.

The journey of life
Faith calls for a journey, a “going out”. Purification takes places on the journey of life, a journey that is often uphill, because it leads upwards.

Christian hope
Christian hope, nourished by the light of Christ, makes the resurrection and life shine even in the world’s darkest nights.

In the spiritual company of the Church
Dear friends, in this month of November, we are invited to pray for the dead. Let us entrust our family members, friends and acquaintances to God, especially in the Eucharist, feeling them close to us in the spiritual company of the Church. #GeneralAudience

We face this choice many times in our lives
We face this choice many times in our lives: do I accept the Lord's invitation or close myself off in my interests, in my smallness? Let us ask the Lord for the grace always to accept the invitation to His feast, which is free. #SantaMarta

Holiness is the fruit of God's grace and of our free response to it
Holiness is the fruit of God's grace and of our free response to it. Holiness is a gift and a call.

The merciful gaze of the Lord reaches us before we even realize that we need it to be saved
The #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 19:1-10) shows us that the merciful gaze of the Lord reaches us before we even realize that we need it to be saved.

The love that created us and awaits us
Today we remember those who have walked before us, in the hope of meeting them, of reaching the place where we'll find the love that created us and awaits us: the love of the Father. #AllSoulsDay

Courage and hope
The memory of the Saints leads us to raise our eyes to Heaven: not to forget the realities of the earth, but to face them with more courage and hope. #AllSaintsDay

The love of God
The love of God is expressed in the tender tears of Jesus. As He cried for Jerusalem, so He cries for each of us when we don't allow ourselves to be loved. This is God's tender love. #SantaMarta

Let us ask the Holy Spirit for an open heart, sensitive to God and hospitable towards our brothers and sisters
The protagonist of the Church's mission, is the Holy Spirit, Who guides the path of evangelizers, showing them the way to follow. Let us ask the Holy Spirit for an open heart, sensitive to God and hospitable towards our brothers and sisters. #GeneralAudience #MissionaryOctober

Hope is to live like throwing an anchor to the other shore and clinging to the rope
Hope is to live in anticipation of meeting the Lord. It's like throwing an anchor to the other shore and clinging to the rope. #SantaMarta

The mission of the Church today
In these last days of October, I invite you to pray the #HolyRosary for the mission of the Church today, especially for men and women missionaries who encounter the greatest difficulties. #MissionaryOctober

We, all of us, are in need of salvation
In the #GospelOfToday, looking at the tax collector, we rediscover where to start: from the conviction that we, all of us, are in need of salvation. #AmazonSynod https://t.co/e3FreQjUyy
— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) October 27, 2019
We can only proclaim what we live
In this #AmazonSynod we felt the need to place ourselves before the Lord, to put Him back at the centre, both personally and as the Church. Because we can only proclaim what we live.
