Ich komme nach #Spanien um die Gläubigen in ihrer Treue zum Evangelium zu bestärken, zu ermutigen und zu inspirieren und um eine tiefere Versöhnung und Zusammenarbeit zwischen den verschiedenen Kräften dieser Nation zu fördern. Denn eure eigene Geschichte zeigt, dass nicht die Kultur der Konfrontation, sondern die der Begegnung Stabilität und Wohlstand schafft. #ApostolischeReise
A caridade não admite demoras. Esta é a nossa responsabilidade perante aqueles que estão necessitados: uma responsabilidade que consagra cada encontro com o outro como um momento de graça único e irrepetível para amar, que não se deve perder nem adiar. O amor de Cristo impele-nos para os irmãos e a caridade e a solicitude com que respondemos são a prova da nossa fé. #ViagemApostólica #Espanha
Je viens en #Espagne pour confirmer, encourager et inspirer une fidélité renouvelée des croyants à l’Évangile, ainsi qu’une réconciliation et une coopération plus profondes entre les différentes composantes de cette nation. C’est précisément son histoire, en effet, qui montre que ce n’est pas la culture de l’affrontement, mais celle de la rencontre qui engendre la stabilité et la prospérité. #VoyageApostolique
La charité ne tolère aucun retard. Telle est notre responsabilité face à ceux qui sont dans le besoin, une responsabilité qui consacre chaque rencontre avec l’autre comme un moment de grâce unique et irremplaçable pour aimer, à ne pas manquer et à ne pas remettre à plus tard. L’amour du Christ nous pousse vers nos frères, et la charité ainsi que la sollicitude avec lesquelles nous répondons témoignent de notre foi. #VoyageApostolique #Espagne
Vengo a #España para confirmar, alentar e inspirar una renovada fidelidad de los creyentes al Evangelio, así como una reconciliación y una cooperación más profundas entre las distintas fuerzas de esta Nación. De hecho, su propia historia sugiere que no es la cultura del enfrentamiento, sino la del encuentro, la que genera estabilidad y prosperidad. #ViajeApostólico
The message of peace, which in these times unfortunately sounds naïve to some and provocative to others, is welcomed by those who do not close themselves within ready-made ideologies, but remain open to the truth.
Truth is always greater than we are. Truth therefore amazes us and draws us toward purification and reconciliation, where dialogue with others—and with the Other, with a capital “O”—becomes essential. https://t.co/46Pvsi867M
I come to #Spain to confirm, encourage, and inspire renewed fidelity to the Gospel among believers, as well as deeper reconciliation and cooperation among the different souls of this nation. Spain's own history reminds us that stability and prosperity are born not of a culture of confrontation, but of a culture of encounter. #ApostolicJourney
Charity admits no delay. Our responsibility before those in need makes every encounter with others a unique and unrepeatable moment of grace for love, not to be missed or postponed. The love of Christ impels us toward our brothers and sisters, and the charity and care with which we respond are the test of our faith. #ApostolicJourney #Spain
La caridad no admite demoras. Esta es nuestra responsabilidad ante quienes están necesitados, una responsabilidad que consagra cada encuentro con el otro como un momento de gracia único e irrepetible para amar, que no hay que perder ni posponer. El amor de Cristo nos empuja hacia los hermanos, y la caridad y la solicitud con que respondemos son la prueba de nuestra fe. #ViajeApostólico #España
Vengo in #Spagna a confermare, incoraggiare, ispirare una rinnovata fedeltà dei credenti al Vangelo e una più profonda riconciliazione e cooperazione fra le diverse anime di questa Nazione. Proprio la sua storia, infatti, suggerisce che non la cultura dello scontro, ma quella dell’incontro genera stabilità e prosperità. #ViaggioApostolico
Na Eucaristia manifesta-se visivelmente que somos a Igreja de Cristo, somos os membros do seu corpo. N’Ele, somos irmãos e irmãs. E, em Cristo, apesar de muitos e diferentes, somos uma só coisa: "In Illo uno unum". #CorpusChristi#MagnificaHumanitas
In the Eucharist, we find a visible manifestation of the reality that we are the Church of Christ, His members, His body. We are brothers and sisters in Him. And in Christ, though many and diverse, we are one: "In Illo uno unum". #CorpusChristi#MagnificaHumanitas
While new economic and technological networks can generate exclusion, isolation and dependencies, the Church—nourished by the Eucharist—is called to make visible a different paradigm, one that preserves human connections, gives a voice to the invisible and ensures that processes are aimed at respecting people’s dignity.
