May we try to follow the sound advice of St. Louis: Avoid mortal sin and any behavior displeasing to God. Endure your hardships as a path to holiness. Give thanks for your many blessings. Help the poor and be generous. In all these ways we show our love for the Lord our God.

In my prayers, I often remember the Democratic Republic of the Congo, especially in light of the spread of the Ebola epidemic, which is sadly claiming many lives. I encourage on the part of the international community a response that also involves local communities in efforts of prevention, so that many human lives may be saved.
Faith is not something given to us once and for all. Rather, we continually need to rediscover the face of Christ and his Gospel, to enter more deeply into his message and to renew the choices we make in our lives, so that they may be consistent with what we profess. In this way, we can overcome the temptation to think that we already know everything and to reduce faith to mere habit. #GospelOfTheDay (Mt 16:13-20)
“The Love that moves the sun and the other stars” still impels us to hope. Love moves us, urges us onward, awakens us from lethargy, inspires new vocations, and calls us to take risks. In love, there is never coercion or indoctrination; never seduction, deception, or recruitment. Love exists only in freedom, genuine encounter, and the generous gift of self. #PastoralVisit #Rimini https://t.co/q7Kyt8JLjt
Sound legislation should encourage scientific and technological creativity while safeguarding fundamental human rights and freedoms. It should protect users from exploitation, preserve personal privacy, ensure transparency in the use of emerging technologies and guarantee that they strengthen democratic institutions. https://t.co/h4uTCWWvsk
The world does not need an artificial intelligence that diminishes humanity; rather, it needs human intelligence enlightened by wisdom, political authority guided by conscience and technological innovation directed by charity. Only then will artificial intelligence become not a rival to humanity but a servant of the common good.
There is no true civil liberty without personal freedom—that is, without respect for and the promotion of the dignity of the human person, of which freedom is an essential component. Ultimately, this freedom is given and guaranteed by God, whose voice resounds in the conscience of every human being. #PastoralVisit #SanMarino
On the Queenship of Mary, we ask for her help so we may imitate her faithfulness and humility and allow the love of Her Son to rule in our lives and to reign in our hearts. Perhaps say a rosary today as we honor Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth.
“Presence is a testimony that reminds us of the importance of remaining human.”
Bishop Aurelio Gazzera reflects on World Humanitarian Day & the vital role humanitarians play by standing alongside conflict-affected communities.
#WorldHumanitarianDay#ActForHumanity
The wounds of war and the degradation of the earth are profoundly linked to the condition of the human heart. The conflicts that torment humanity are in many ways the outward expression of interior discord and division. When the heart is distorted, relationships suffer, and the structures we build begin to reflect that disorder.
On #WorldHumanitarianDay, we honour those serving communities in the world’s most dangerous crises. In Gaza, humanitarian workers continue despite violence, loss and the constant threat to their lives.

Jesus says that in his Kingdom “the last will be first, and the first will be last.” Think about the time and energy you spend pursuing worldly gains. In the end, they do not matter. We will be judged according to our faithfulness to God and the service we extended to others.
La soluzione dei "due Stati" è l’unica via di pace tra Israele e Palestina. Sono mutati i Papi e la situazione in Medio Oriente, ma la linea diplomatica della Santa Sede in quasi ottant’anni è rimasta inamovibile
