Growing up with an absolute saint of a mother full of unconditional love was the perfect recipe to grow up and get absolutely raped by the depravity and evil of modern women
To savor God’s closeness and human fraternity, we must reject desires that consume our relationships without giving anything in return or filling us with things that cannot nourish us. Such a lifestyle drives us to have everything, but to become no one; to receive countless “likes,” but to remain alone with ourselves. When we decide not to follow that lifestyle, we then begin to strive toward righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness. Those who live with God strive for what is best. #ApostolicJourney #France https://t.co/VrSp1hMqbh
@oliverburdick This guy is an absolute psycho for calling Jehovah Witnesses satanic. They are 100% Christian and follow the commandments basically better than anyone
The Church does not exist for herself, but to lead every person to an encounter with the Lord. It is therefore not enough to ask whether an activity is well organized, well attended, or has been running for many years. We must ask whether it truly leads people to Christ and brings the Gospel into contact with the concrete realities of people’s lives.
Witnesses of faith do not propose an ideology; rather, they reveal a faith lived out in daily life. Their credibility stems from the consistency between their words and actions, a consistency often maintained even to the point of the ultimate sacrifice. In indifferent cultural contexts, “the holiness next door” and quiet heroism become compelling arguments capable of challenging everyone, even the most distrustful.
Every human person is planned and willed by God to enter into communion with Him, with others, and with creation. Human dignity does not depend on a person’s abilities, wealth, or position in life, nor on the right or wrong choices made. Instead, it is a gift that precedes and transcends each person, endowed by God as an expression of His unfailing love. #MagnificaHumanitas #GeneralAudience
Today we celebrate the birth of a little girl who would be called to become the Mother of her Creator, the Mother of God. Yet, she is born simply as a little girl, like the daughters and granddaughters we hold in our arms. We bestow upon her the most exalted and noble titles, such as Our Lady and Queen, but God’s way was and remains simpler and quieter, yet no less powerful and transformative. It is the way of Jesus Himself. #NativityOfMary
In Jesus Christ, God chose the humblest historical circumstances and the humblest of creatures, Mary, to reveal the originality of His Kingdom, in which arrogance has no place and omnipotence means creation, service, and care for life.
Without faith, each person might feel alone and become suspicious of others, seeing them as strangers and enemies. By grace, however, we are brothers and sisters who can live in harmony: meeting one another, forgiving one another and listening to one another in the Lord. #Angelus https://t.co/oa0Br6r4BO
The Church cannot remain passive or indifferent to what happens in the world. Rather, she is called to journey alongside humanity, especially in light of the rapid and profound changes taking place. #GeneralAudience#GaudiumEtSpes https://t.co/nZd1boycKN
