The Weekly Francis – Volume 319 – 03 June 2020

“The Holy Spirit makes us take flight, opens up the wonderful destiny for which we were born, and nourishes us with living hope. Let us ask Him to come to us, and He will draw near.” @Pontifex 29 May 2020
“Dear brother priests, I want to fraternally share with you all these things that I thought and felt during this time of the pandemic, so that they might help us in our journey of praise for the Lord and of service to our brothers. Letter” @Pontifex 30 May 2020
“The Faith provides us with a realistic and creative imagination, capable of abandoning the logic of repetition, of substitution or of preservation; it invites us to initiate a season that is always new: the season of the Lord.” @Pontifex 30 May 2020
“We need the Holy Spirit to give us new eyes, to open our minds and our hearts to face the present moment and the future having learned this lesson: That humanity is one. No one is saved alone. No one.” @Pontifex 30 May 2020
“From humanity’s great trials, among which is the #pandemic, we come out better or worse. We will not be the same. And that is why we open ourselves to the Holy Spirit today so that He might change our hearts and help us to come out better.” @Pontifex 31 May 2020
“Holy Spirit, memory of God, revive in us the memory of the gift received. Free us from the paralysis of selfishness and awaken in us the desire to serve, to do good. #Pentecost” @Pontifex 31 May 2020
“Come, Holy Spirit: you are harmony; make us builders of unity. You always give yourself; grant us the courage to go out of ourselves, to love and help each other, in order to become one family. Amen. #Pentecost” @Pontifex 31 May 2020
“Let’s view the Church with the Spirit’s eyes not with the world’s which sees us on the right or left. The Spirit sees sons & daughters of the Father,Jesus’s brothers & sisters. The world sees conservatives and progressives. The Spirit sees children of God. Homily” @Pontifex 31 May 2020
“#Mission is a free and conscious response to God’s call. Yet we discern this call only when we have a personal relationship of love with Jesus present in his Church. Message” @Pontifex 31 May 2020
“How I desire that we Christians be more deeply united as witnesses of mercy for the human family so severely tested in these days. Let’s ask the Spirit for the gift of unity, for only if we live as brothers & sisters can we spread the spirit of fraternity. Message” @Pontifex 31 May 2020
“The Holy Spirit assures us that we are not alone, that God sustains us. Dear friends, we must give in turn the gift that we have received: we are called to share the comfort of the Spirit, the closeness of God.” @Pontifex 1 June 2020
“A Church that is mother follows the path of tenderness and compassion. A son or daughter of the Church is therefore meek, tender, smiling, and full of love. #MaryMotherOfTheChurch” @Pontifex 1 June 2020
“Let us invoke the Holy Spirit. May He might give light and strength to the Church and society in the #Amazon region, sorely tried by the pandemic. I pray for the poorest of that precious Region and the world. And I plead that they may not lack health care.” @Pontifex 2 June 2020
“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.” @Pontifex 2 June 2020
“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.” @Pontifex 3 June 2020
“Let us learn from Abraham to pray with faith: listening, walking, engaging in dialogue to the point of argument, but always willing to accept God’s word and to put it into practice. #GeneralAudience” @Pontifex 3 June 2020
