"It is the test of a good religion whether you can joke about it." GKC

“Today we recall Saint #TeresaOfJesus, master of #prayer. She teaches us that prayer is an expression of friendship with God who always loves us. With God nothing can disturb or frighten us, because ”God alone suffices.”” @Pontifex 15 October 2020
“It is time to subscribe to a global pact on education for and with future generations. This requires commitment from families, communities, schools, universities, institutions, religions, governments, and the human family to train mature men and women. #GlobalCompactOnEducation” @Pontifex 15 October 2020
“Education bears within itself a seed of hope: the hope of peace and justice; the hope of beauty and goodness; the hope of social harmony. #GlobalCompactOnEducation Message” @Pontifex 15 October 2020
“Hunger is not only a tragedy for humanity, it is shameful. Faced with this reality, we cannot remain insensitive or paralyzed. We are all responsible. #WorldHungerDay” @Pontifex 16 October 2020
“A courageous decision? Using the money spent on weapons for a “global Fund” to defeat hunger. This would help avoid many wars and the emigration of many of our brothers and sisters from the poorest nations.” @Pontifex 16 October 2020
“We need to develop the awareness that nowadays we are either all saved together or no one is saved. #Poverty, decadence and suffering in one part of the earth are a breeding ground for problems that will end up affecting the entire planet. #FratelliTutti #EndPoverty” @Pontifex 17 October 2020
“Today and tomorrow, one million children around the world pray the Rosary. May we confidently recite the #Rosary every day. It is a weapon that protects us from evil and temptation. #ChildrenPraying” @Pontifex 18 October 2020
“The mission, the ‘Church on the move’, is not a programme to be carried out by sheer force of will. It is Christ who makes the Church go out of herself. In the mission of evangelization, you move because the Holy Spirit pushes you, and carries you. #WorldMissionDay” @Pontifex 18 October 2020
“Belonging to Christ, and the resulting way of life, do not isolate the believer from the world, but rather make him or her the protagonist in a service of love for the common good.” @Pontifex 18 October 2020
“I invite you again to take the #Rosary and lift up your gaze to Our Lady, sign of consolation and sure hope. One million children around the world are doing this today, as they pray for unity and peace. #ChildrenPraying” @Pontifex 19 October 2020
“Our present gathering represents an incentive to religious leaders and to all believers to pray fervently for peace, never resigned to war, but working with the gentle strength of faith to end conflicts. #Peaceandfraternity YouTube” @Pontifex 20 October 2020
“The “gospel” of save yourself is not the Gospel of salvation. It is the falsest of the apocryphal gospels, making others carry the cross. Whereas the true Gospel bids us take up the cross of others. #Peaceandfraternity” @Pontifex 20 October 2020
““Enough!” says Jesus (Lk 22:38), when his disciples produce two swords before the Passion. “Enough!” That single word of Jesus echoes through the centuries and reaches us forcefully in our own time: enough of swords, weapons, violence and war!” @Pontifex 20 October 2020
“To all believers, and to men and women of good will, we say: let us become creative artisans of peace, let us build social friendship, let us make our own the culture of dialogue. #Peaceandfraternity Homily” @Pontifex 20 October 2020
“Prayer is the centre of life. If there is prayer, even a brother, a sister, becomes important. Those who adore God, love His children. Those who respect God, respect human beings. #GeneralAudience” @Pontifex 21 October 2020
