“The sacrament of Baptism makes us sons and daughters of the Father in Christ Jesus. Confimation makes us witnesses and transmitters of this new life within us to witness to Christ and bring truth to our neighbour. This will involve a personal and public struggle between the mystery of salvation and the mystery of iniquity—a spiritual combat against the forces of evil. Like soldiers, we enter into the combat of Christ and with Christ, assisted by the grace of the sacrament of Confirmation…” ✝️
Being a Christian in politics does not mean being overtly confessional. Instead, it means allowing the Gospel to guide the decisions that have to be made, even those that may not attract easy consensus. https://t.co/PW47HZSb7D
Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney#Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE
#Peace is everyone’s responsibility, beginning with civil authorities. To govern means to love one’s own country as well as neighboring countries. The commandment “love your neighbor as yourself” is equally applicable to international relations! #ApostolicJourney#Cameroon https://t.co/C4zkA2S0YB
God’s heart is torn apart by wars, violence, injustice and lies. But our Father’s heart is not with the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud. God’s heart is with the little ones and the humble, and with them He builds up His Kingdom of love and peace day by day. Wherever there is love and service, God is there. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria
The future belongs to men and women of peace. Justice will always triumph over injustice in the end, just as violence will never have the last word, despite all appearances. #ApostolicJourney#Algeria https://t.co/Jp7UTUWUzj
Those who pray are aware of their own limitations; they do not kill or threaten with death. Instead, death enslaves those who have turned their backs on the living God, turning themselves and their own power into a mute, blind and deaf idol (Ps 115:4–8), to which they sacrifice every value, demanding that the whole world bend its knee. Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life. #Peace
God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.
Two years ago, I was an atheist who didn’t want kids, and didn’t care about anything other than myself.
Today, I’m baptized, married and have a beautiful baby boy and want to keep my wife pregnant until she’s 40 (15 more years)!
Praise Jesus!

I would like to invite each of you, dear young people, to say to the Lord: “Thank you, Jesus, for calling me. My desire is to remain one of your friends, so that, by embracing you, I may also be a companion on the journey for anyone I meet. Grant, O Lord, that those who meet me may encounter you, even through my limitations and frailties.” #JubileeOfYouth
Saint Augustine too had a restless youth, but he did not settle for less, did not silence the cry of his heart. He sought the truth that does not disappoint, and the beauty that does not fade. How did he find it? How did he find true friendship, and a love that gives rise to hope? By finding the one who was already looking for him: Jesus Christ. How did he build his future? By following the one who had always been his friend. #JubileeofYouth
Dear young people, I hope you conserve in your hearts all you experience during the #JubileeOfYouth. Please, let it not remain merely a memory in beautiful photos. I hope that everyone may see in you the face of Christ. Therefore, love and serve others freely in daily life, because you have experienced the joy of being loved first, and because you have received everything freely from God the Father.

I am thankful he accepted Christ.
