Today the Church praises smallness. God's works begin by sprouting from a seed, from little things. Jesus speaks about this smallness of the Kingdom: the small heart, humble, that is open to the revelation of the Lord. #HomilySantaMarta

The nativity scene
With this Letter, I wish to encourage the beautiful family tradition of preparing the nativity scene in the days before Christmas, but also the custom of setting it up in the workplace, in schools, hospitals, prisons and town squares. https://t.co/iP5brT7CMh

The Lord is coming
The word #Advent means coming. The Lord is coming. This is the root of our hope: the certainty that God's consolation comes to us amidst the troubles of the world. Not a consolation of words, but of His presence among us.

To watch means to have your heart ready to give and to serve, to be attentive to our neighbour in difficulty
In the #GospelOfTheDay, Jesus exhorts us to be ready for His coming: "Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming" (Mt 24:42). To watch means to have your heart ready to give and to serve, to be attentive to our neighbour in difficulty.

God doesn’t forget you, He cares about you
The Church exists to keep alive in people’s heart the memory that God loves them. It exists to tell everyone, even those furthest away: “God doesn’t forget you, He cares about you”.

How important it is to learn to be a friendly and outstretched hand!

To remember, to journey together, to protect
To remember, to journey together, to protect. These are three moral imperatives that here in #Hiroshima assume even more powerful and universal significance, and can open a true path to peace. https://t.co/FZkYnxjV40

The use of atomic energy for purposes of war is immoral
The use of atomic energy for purposes of war is immoral, just as the possession of atomic weapons is immoral, as I said two years ago. We will be judged on this. #EndNuclearWeapons #Hiroshima #ApostolicJourney

With courage on the path of the Beatitudes
We are united with those Christians throughout the world who, in our own day, suffer martyrdom for the faith. They are the martyrs of the twenty-first century and their witness summons us to set out with courage on the path of the Beatitudes. #ApostolicJourney #NishizakaHill

An affront crying out to heaven
In a world where millions of children and families live in inhumane conditions, the money that is squandered and the fortunes made through the manufacture, maintenance and sale of ever more destructive weapons, are an affront crying out to heaven.
