[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

At times we find ourselves incapable of recognizeing the newness of the Lord, with the presumption that we already know so much about Him. #Advent, then, is the season to overturn our perspective, to allow ourselves to marvel at the greatness of God’s mercy.

[San Padre Pio de Pietrelcina @sanpadrepio]

La oración es el oxígeno del alma ! PADRE PÍO🙏

I have known @JamesMartinSJ for a number of years, and was grateful to ‘Building a Bridge’ for actually allowing me to actually spend some time with him. https://t.co/suWVZFQ9ur

This comes despite warnings from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on issuing this kind of document. Cardinal Ladaria, prefect of the CDF, said it could “become a source of discord rather than unity within the episcopate and the larger church in the United States.”

[Papa Francisco – ARCHIVO @Pontifex266_es]

La actual pandemia nos ha recordado que no hay diferencias ni fronteras entre los que sufren. Ha llegado el momento de eliminar las desigualdades, de curar la injusticia que está minando la salud de toda la familia humana. #CIT2021 https://t.co/9HSvhWqdWp

Gospel: Today Jesus tells us to "love our enemies" (Mt. 5). Loving without the hope of being loved back is the only way to move past a conditional love, which loves *only if* the other loves you; or a transactional love, which loves *in order to* make the other person love you.

[Abp. José H. Gomez @ArchbishopGomez]

He calls all men and women to various vocations that serve to build up our human society and culture — in business and education, government and community service. God wants good Christians in all walks of life.

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

"'The concern in the Vatican,' said Antonio Spadaro, a Jesuit priest and close ally of Francis “is not to use access to the Eucharist as a political weapon.'" https://t.co/SvOMHvrw1z

[Papa Francisco – ARCHIVO @Pontifex266_es]

La semilla de nuestras buenas obras puede parecer poca cosa; mas todo lo que es bueno pertenece a Dios y, por tanto, humilde y lentamente, da fruto. El bien crece siempre de modo humilde, escondido, a menudo invisible. #EvangelioDeHoy

Remember the Pulse Nightclub. Reverence the infinite value and immense dignity of all LGBTQ lives.

[Abp. José H. Gomez @ArchbishopGomez]

Whatever path God calls us to, Jesus goes with us.

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

Gospel: Today is the Solemnity of the Most #SacredHeart of Jesus. This beautiful feast invites us to imitate the way that Jesus loved: he loved everyone, especially the forgotten. And he loved without a need to be "repaid" by others. Love even when others don't love you back.

[Bishop J. Strickland @BishStrickland]

Belief that Jesus Christ is really present in the Eucharist, really present, is at the heart of Catholic faith. If you are with me & believe that He is present, the Lord of all IS present, let us proclaim this wondrous truth to our broken world. Rejoice in Him!

[U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops @USCCB]

Heart of Jesus, Son of the eternal Father, have mercy on us. #SacredHeart

[Rich Raho @RichRaho]

Evidence of the chasm that exists between US Bishops and Pope Francis was fully on display on #CorpusChristi. For Francis: the Eucharist is the “Bread of Sinners;” for USCCB, before you can receive Communion, you must prove yourself worthy. Those 2 views are mutually exclusive.

[Catholic News Service @CatholicNewsSvc]

Pope Francis told a group of priests that if they do not want to be pastors, spending time with the faithful, they should request dismissal from the priesthood and concentrate on academics instead. https://t.co/tqO7rQU57L

Live for the Mass and live from the Mass!

[Papa Francisco – ARCHIVO @Pontifex266_es]

Para celebrar la #Eucaristía es preciso reconocer, antes que nada, nuestra sed de Dios: sentirnos necesitados de Él, desear su presencia y su amor, ser conscientes de que no podemos salir adelante solos. https://t.co/FOYjWnktCc
