With God, the burdens of life rest not upon our shoulders alone: the Holy Spirit comes to give us strength, to encourage us, to bear our burdens.

With God, the burdens of life rest not upon our shoulders alone
A strong, joyful and merciful faith
Let us ask Our Lady to protect and sustain us; that we may have a strong, joyful and merciful faith; that she may help us to be saints, to meet her one day in Paradise.

Every “yes” to God is a step towards Heaven
Mary's journey to Heaven began with that "yes" pronounced at Nazareth. Every “yes” to God is a step towards Heaven, towards eternal life. Because the Lord wants us all with Himself, in His house!

The strength
Let us ask for the grace to remember each day that we are not forgotten by God, and that we are His beloved children, unique and irreplaceable. Calling this to mind gives us the strength not to surrender before the adversities of life.

Forgiveness
Only when we experience God's forgiveness are we truly reborn. We start again from there, from forgiveness. It is there that we rediscover ourselves: in confessing our sins.

To abandon ourselves with simplicity
Today's Gospel invites us to abandon ourselves with simplicity and trust to God's will, and to keep "the lamps alight", so we can brighten the darkness of the night. #Angelus

He is the secret of life
Basically, the Christian witness announces this alone: that Jesus is alive and that He is the secret of life. #StLawrenceMartyr

We are all responsible for the care of Creation
Indigenous peoples, with their variety of languages, cultures, traditions, and ancestral knowledge, remind us that we are all responsible for the care of Creation, which God has entrusted to us. #IndigenousPeoplesDay

What truly lasts: Your presence and that of our brother or sister
In the midst of all those passing things in which we are so caught up, help us, Father, to seek what truly lasts: your presence and that of our brother or sister.
— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) August 8, 2019
One evil never corrects another evil and no resentment is ever good for the heart
The way of Jesus, which leads to peace, passes through forgiveness, for one evil never corrects another evil and no resentment is ever good for the heart.

A glimpse of heaven on earth
In the Transfiguration, Jesus shows us the glory of the Resurrection: a glimpse of heaven on earth.

The Lord invites all of us to conquer resentment with love and forgiveness, and to live the Christian faith with consistency and courage.

To My Brother Priests
Thank you for the joy with which you have offered your lives. Thank you for all the times you welcomed those who have fallen, caring for their wounds and showing tenderness and compassion. #ToMyBrotherPriests

The most beautiful pages of priestly life
On the feast of the saintly Curé d'Ars, I write to all of you who, carrying out your mission in service to God and His people, write the most beautiful pages of priestly life. #ToMyBrotherPriestshttps://t.co/xd2JkKyOD9

Joy
Holy Spirit, give us the joy of the resurrection, the perennial youth of the heart!

Wonders
The Lord does not perform wonders with those who believe themselves to be just, but with those who know they are in need and are willing to open their hearts to Him.
— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) August 2, 2019
Meaning
As a young soldier, St Ignatius of Loyola, whom we remember today, thought of his own glory. But then he was attracted by the glory of God, which gave meaning to his life.
