Many fears can dwell within us and terrible injustices surround us, but a new world has already been born. God so loved the world that he gave us his Son, Jesus. He pours balm upon our wounds and wipes away our tears. #HolyThursday https://t.co/jEEfEXchiX

Today we have followed Jesus, first in a festive procession and then along a path of pain and sorrow, as we enter upon this Holy Week of preparation for the commemoration of the Lord’s passion, death and resurrection. #PalmSunday

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

I have much in common with you at this time of my life, dear brothers and sisters who are sick: the experience of illness, of weakness, of having to depend on others for so many things, and of needing their support. #Jubilee

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Even if our past seems burdensome, complicated, and perhaps even ruined, we can always give it to God and set out anew on our journey. God is merciful, and He always waits for us!

I would like to invite you, today, to join me in praising the Lord, who never abandons us and who, in times of sorrow, places people beside us who reflect a ray of His love. I thank you all for your prayers, and I thank those who assist me with such dedication.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

I would like to thank you for your prayers, which rise up to the Lord from the hearts of so many faithful from many parts of the world. I feel all your affection and closeness and, at this particular time, I feel as if I am “carried” and supported by all God’s people.

Whatever conflicted feelings one may have about Pope Francis, in what is reported to be the final hours of his earthly pilgrimage, it is in an imperative of Christian charity to pray for his happy death.

May the holy angels lead him forth to paradise,
And may the martyrs greet him coming home.
May Pope Francis find welcome within God’s dwelling-place, the radiant city, the New Jerusalem.

In the #GospelOfTheDay, Jesus proclaims blessed those who are poor, afflicted, meek and persecuted. It is a change of mentality, a revolution of perspective. Artists are called to take part in this revolution. The world needs prophetic artists.

Thank you for the affection, prayer and closeness with which you are accompanying me in these days.

When goodness is not reinvested, it is lost. The greatness of our lives is not measured by how much we save but by the fruit we bear.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

We celebrate the #WorldDayOfTheSick during the #Jubilee2025, in which the Church invites us to be “pilgrims of hope." We are accompanied by the Word of God: “Hope does not disappoint” (Rom 5:5). Hope strengthens us in tribulation. https://t.co/UkAC3Ab5J3

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Dear brothers and sisters who are ill or who care for the suffering, you play a very important part in this #Jubilee2025. Your journey together is a sign for everyone, a hymn to human dignity, a song of hope. The whole Church thanks you for this! @vaticanIHD

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

As we celebrate the Jubilee of the Armed Forces, Police and Security Personnel, I would encourage you never to lose sight of the purpose of your service and all your activity, which is to promote life, to save lives, to be a constant defender of life.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

When the Lord gets into the boat of our lives to bring us the good news of God’s love then life begins anew, hope is reborn, enthusiasm revives, and we can once again cast our nets into the sea. #GospelOfToday

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Children who are denied their childhood are a silent cry denouncing the inequality of our economic system, the criminality of war, and the lack of medical care and education. These injustices weigh most heavily on all little ones and on the weakest.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

As the Apostle Paul exhorts, I encourage you to rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in prayer, and contribute to the needs of your brothers and sisters (Rom 12:12-13). #GeneralAudience

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

I greet the journalists and #Communication professionals who have celebrated their Jubilee in these days. I encourage you to always be narrators of hope! #HopeTelling

The Word of God is alive: down the centuries, it accompanies us and by the power of the Holy Spirit, it is at work in every age. https://t.co/kq9r9ZBqdH

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Jesus is “a light for revelation to the Gentiles.” Like the sun that rises, this child will redeem the world from the darkness of evil, pain, and death. We greatly need this light, even today! #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 2, 22-40)

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

On this Sunday dedicated to the #WordOfGod, let us thank the Father for sending His Word to us, made flesh for the salvation of the world. The entire Bible bears witness to Christ and His work, and the Spirit makes it active in our lives and in history.
