[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Peace begins in the human heart, passes through relationships, takes root in neighborhoods and peripheries, and expands until it embraces the entire city and the world. Peace is built by promoting a culture that rejects violence, through daily gestures, education, and practical acts of justice. #PastoralVisit #Naples

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Even today there are tombs to be opened, and often the stones sealing them are so heavy and so closely guarded that they seem to be immovable. Some weigh heavily on the human heart, such as mistrust, fear, selfishness and resentment; others, stemming from these inner struggles, sever the bonds between us through war, injustice and the isolation of peoples and nations. Let us not allow ourselves to be paralyzed by them! #Easter

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Love and truth cannot be separated. Only by loving do we come to know the truth, and love of truth leads us to discover charity as its fulfillment.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The Son of God, through whom all things were created, was not welcomed, and a poor manger for animals was his crib. The eternal Word of the Father whom the heavens cannot contain chose to come into the world in this way. Out of love, he accepted poverty and rejection, identifying himself with those who are discarded and excluded. #Christmas

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Every human being and every religion is called to promote #Fraternity. In our time marked by growing conflict and division, we need authentic testimonies of human kindness and charity to remind us that we are all brothers and sisters. Words are not enough. Our love and deepest convictions need to be continually cultivated, and we do so through concrete actions. #ZayedAward

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Serving God in the wounds of those who suffer leads us to encounter Him. Living according to the Gospel entails a passion for God and humanity, which teaches us to love heaven and earth with the same intensity.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

I express my closeness to the people of the Philippines who have been hit by a violent typhoon: I pray for the deceased and their families, as well as for the injured and displaced.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Christians do not call burial places “necropolises”, that is, “cities of the dead”, but “cemeteries”, which literally means “sleeping places”, places where one rests, awaiting the resurrection.

[Sed Calderon @sedfreyjc]

Thank you, Lord, for the gift of tears today, for reminding me that I am neither defined by my sins and failures nor by my achievements and fruits of my labor. Before you, all that I have done is but straw. You alone, O Lord! Your love and your grace are more than enough for me.

I asked my audience what contributes to Spain’s high life expectancy.

The highest in the EU at 83.18 years between the sexes.

Here are their responses — the serious, insightful, and outright hilarious:

Maraming salamat, @vicegandako, sa patuloy na pagpili ng Pilipinas. Kahit mahirap siyang ipaglaban, sama sama tayong piliin ang Pilipinas! Ang West Philippine Sea ay parte ng Pilipinas, piliin nating tindigan ito para sa susunod na lahi ng kabataang Pilipino! 🇵🇭

[Mike Hoffmann @MikeHoffmann]

I found a guy who goes around the US asking 70 to 100-year-olds their:

• Biggest Regrets
• Biggest Lessons
• Advice to their younger self

Oddly enough, most of their answers are the same…

Here are my top 8:

Ang pinagtatakhan ko talaga ay kung bakit ang Ilokanong ito, from the north, ay nagkaroon ng factory ng posporo sa Mindanao, sa south?
