#GuardianAngels help us in our lives and show us where we need to go. Our angel is the daily bridge to our encounter with the Father.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The pandemic has highlighted how vulnerable and interconnected everyone is. If we do not take care of one another, starting with the least, with those who are most impacted, including creation, we cannot heal the world. #SeasonOfCreation

“I am with you always” are the words as Bishop of Rome, elderly person like you, want to address to you on the first World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly. The Church is close to you, to us. She loves you and doesn’t want to leave you alone! #IamWithYouAlways @laityfamilylife

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Dear grandparents, what is our vocation today, at our age? To preserve our roots, to pass on the faith to the young and to care for the little ones. Let’s never forget this. #IamWithYouAlways @laityfamilylife

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The significance of this Day is that every grandfather and grandmother, every older person, especially those among us who are most alone, might be visited by an angel! #IamWithYouAlways @laityfamilylife

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The Lord is aware of all that we have been through in this time. He is close to those who felt isolated and alone, feelings that became more acute during the pandemic. He is not indifferent to this. #IamWithYouAlways

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Let us attend the school of Jesus Christ, teacher of #Prayer. May we learn from Him that prayer is primarily listening and encountering God, an art to be practiced with insistence, the place where we perceive that everything comes from God and returns to Him. #GeneralAudience

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The current pandemic has highlighted our interdependence: we are all linked to each other, for better or for worse. Therefore, to come out of this crisis better than before, we have to do so together, all of us, in solidarity. #GeneralAudience

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

With God, nothing is lost! In Mary, the goal has been reached and we have before our eyes the reasons why we journey: not to gain the things here below, which are fleeting, but the homeland above, which is for ever.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Hope needs patience, the patience of knowing that we sow, but it is God who gives growth.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

When love for parents and children is inspired and purified by love for the Lord, it then becomes wholly fruitful and produces good fruits within the #family itself and well beyond it.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

In the parable of the weeds from the #GospelOfTheDay (Mt 13:24-43), Jesus helps us understand God’s patience, opening our hearts to hope.

Thankfully, my Twitter was not hacked, because of the rock-solid cyber-security I recently purchased for just $12,000 in bitcoin and my social security number. Thanks @cyberscambelarus!

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Faith is either missionary or it is no faith at all. Faith takes us out of ourselves and toward others. Faith must be transmitted, not to convince but to offer a treasure. Let us ask the Lord to help us live our faith with open doors: a transparent faith.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The Lord, offering himself to us in the simplicity of bread,invites us not to waste our lives in chasing the myriad illusions that we think we cannot do without,yet that leave us empty within. The Eucharist satisfies our hunger for material things and kindles our desire to serve.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

In the Eucharist, Jesus draws close to us. Let us not turn away from those around us, those who hunger for food and dignity, those without work, and those who struggle to carry on. Genuine closeness is needed, as are true bonds of solidarity. https://t.co/aFYP6HCrbX

We cannot tolerate or turn a blind eye to racism and exclusion in any form. At the same time, we have to recognize that violence is self-destructive and self-defeating. Nothing is gained by violence and so much is lost. Let us pray for reconciliation and peace.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

We have such need of the light and strength of the Holy Spirit! The Church needs it to walk harmoniously and courageously in the witness of the Gospel. And the entire human family needs it so as to move out of this crisis more united and not more divided.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Let us entrust to Mary Help of Christians all in this difficult time who work for peace, for dialogue between nations, for service to the poor, for the care of creation, and for the victory of humanity over every disease of body, heart and soul.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Many people have recently lost their jobs. Let us #PrayTogether for our brothers and sisters who are suffering for lack of employment.
