Let us remember that we are the living presence of the Lord in the world. Enkindled by the charity of Christ's Heart, let us bear witness to His mercy and peace, so that wars may cease in the world and a new humanity may rise up around us, reconciled in love. #ApostolicJourney

Silence can help us most to recognize the voice of God, since it fosters attention and recollection. Freed from the noise of a thousand voices, we come to recognize that some voices deceive our desires, others buy us without nourishing us, and still others speak out of self-interest. In silence, we understand that ideologies pass away, while truth remains. https://t.co/lbaMqHx1cJ

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

Today, we commemorate the Tulsa Race Massacre and the destruction of the Greenwood District, or Black Wall Street. This is personal to me: my ancestors left Oklahoma for Denver after the attacks. Remembering our history matters, and so does building a better future from it.
