The #WordOfGod pierces our lives, enabling us to discern the feelings and thoughts of the heart. It helps us see where to give space to the light of goodness, and also where the darkness of vice and sin needs to be resisted.
The Week of Prayer for #ChristianUnity begins today, which this year highlights love for God and neighbour. Let us #PrayTogether that Christians may reach full communion and bear witness of love towards all, especially the most fragile.
The #WordOfGod invites us not to close ourselves off or think that we can do it alone, but to grow together. Let us listen to each other, talk together, and support one another. #ChristianUnity
The #WordOfGod is a gift addressed to everyone. We can never restrict its field of action, for beyond all our calculations, it springs forth in a spontaneous, unforeseen, and unpredictable way, in the ways and times that the Holy Spirit knows.
The voracity with which we have been devouring the resources of the planet for a few centuries now is compromising everyone’s future. We have pounced on everything, aiming at becoming masters of all things, even though they were entrusted to our stewardship. #GeneralAudience
Let us #PrayTogether for the unconditional release of all people currently held hostage in Colombia. This act, which is a duty before God, will also promote an atmosphere of reconciliation and peace in the country.
The voice of the Father, which in the #GospelOfTheDay proclaims: 'You are my beloved Son' (Mk 1:11), reveals that Jesus is the Son of God. It recalls our own Baptism that immersed us in God's infinite embrace, filling us with the strength of His saving love.
