Just a simple, unworthy servant trying to be humble.

It is with great sorrow that I join the faithful of the @archvancouver, and Catholics around the world, in mourning the passing of our Holy Father, Pope Francis.

Pope Francis was a tireless shepherd of the Church, a beacon of hope, and a champion of the Gospel. 1/6

May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Sorrows, accompany you this Holy Week and lead you to an ever more profound understanding of the greatness of what the Lord has done for us by his Cross and Resurrection, which have set us free.

The #Ashes remind us of who we are, which does us good. It puts us in our place, smooths out the rough edges of our narcissism, brings us back to reality, and makes us more humble and open to one another. None of us is God; we are all on a journey. #Lent

The Word of the Lord cannot remain only a fine abstract idea or stir up only a passing emotion. Scripture invites us to change our gaze and allow our hearts to be transformed into the image of the heart of Christ. #WordOfGod

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

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]

Let us entrust to Mary this new Jubilee Year. Let us entrust to her our worries, our sufferings, our joys, and all the concerns that we bear in our hearts. Let us entrust to her the whole world, so that hope may be reborn and peace may spring up for all the peoples of the earth.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The Holy Spirit is the source that fans the flame of hope. His presence in our lives helps us to both have hope and radiate it for humanity, which greatly needs it. #GeneralAudience

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The Word of God spreads when we are anointed by the Holy Spirit. Without the Spirit, preaching would have neither soul nor life, and we would spread only ideas or precepts to be fulfilled. #GeneralAudience

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

#Holiness is a gift from God; it is He who sanctifies us. We therefore ask the Lord to make us holy and our hearts like His. God's grace heals and frees us from all that prevents us from loving as He loves us.

@Pontifex “When the weariness of the journey weighs you down, come back to Jesus, learn to rest in him and abide with him, for “those who hope in the Lord... will run and not be weary” (Is 40:31).”
This is what spoke to me in reading it today. Thank you, @Pontifex

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Today, local Churches are celebrating the 39th World Youth Day. I wish to greet young people around the world. May you have the courage to bear witness to hope, which we need now more than ever.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Everyone—every man and every woman—is invited by God to partake in His grace, which transforms and saves. We simply need to say “yes” to His free divine gift, welcoming it and allowing ourselves to be transformed by it.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Dear young people, this year, to prepare for the Jubilee pilgrimage of 2025, we can take inspiration from the prophet Isaiah, who says: “Those who hope in the Lord will run and not be weary” (Is 40:31). #WYD2024 https://t.co/5povr04Lh9

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

To know the Lord, it is not enough to know something about Him. We must follow Him, allow ourselves to be moved and changed by His Gospel, and engage in a relationship with Him—an encounter that transforms our life. #GospelOfToday

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Love is stronger than everything. The beauty of love can heal the world, because it finds its roots in God. #ApostolicJourney

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Today we celebrate the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. The Holy Spirit invites us to change our lifestyles, because we are all responsible for the care of our common home. @vaticanIHD

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

What would happen if we prayed more and complained less? Let us ask for the grace to be able to pray for one another. #YearOfPrayer

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Life is always worth living, and there is always hope for the future, even when everything seems to be over. The fact that each of us exists is a unique gift for both ourselves and for others. God never abandons us - He knows how to listen, rejoice, and weep with us.
