In hearing the cry of the poor, we are asked to enter into the heart of God, who is always concerned for the needs of his children, especially those in greatest need. #DilexiTe

Those who suffer know how great even a small gesture of affection can be, and how much relief it can bring. No sign of affection, even the smallest, will ever be forgotten by the Lord, especially if it is shown to those who are suffering, lonely, or in need. #DilexiTe

Every man and woman of our time has a deep need for hope and peace dwelling in their heart. Consecrated men and women can be messengers of harmony through words and example, as people who bear within yourselves, by the grace of God, the mark of reconciliation and unity. #JubileeofConsecratedLife

Every human being carries within his or her heart a profound longing for truth, for meaning, and for communion with others and with God. This yearning rises from the depths of our being. For this reason, the right to religious freedom is not optional but essential.

“To knock” is to ask for and to offer the gifts we have received to our brothers and sisters with a chaste heart, striving to love everyone with respect and generosity. #JubileeOfConsecratedLife

“To seek” is to open oneself, through obedience, to discovering each day the path we must take on the journey towards holiness, following God’s plans. 2/3

“Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you” (Lk 11:9). “To ask,” in fact, is to recognize, through poverty, that everything is a gift from the Lord and to give thanks for it. 1/3

Doing the work of a journalist can never be considered a crime, but it is a right that must be protected. Free access to information is a pillar that upholds the edifice of our societies, and for this reason, we are called to defend and guarantee it.

The Risen Lord walks alongside each of us, as we journey every day. With infinite care, he asks to let Him warm our hearts. He waits patiently for the moment when our eyes will open to see His friendly face, so He can transform our resignation into hope. #GeneralAudience

Christ’s resurrection teaches us that no story is ever so marked by disappointment or sin that it cannot be visited by hope. No fall is definitive, no night is eternal, no wound is destined to bleed forever. 1/

We will celebrate the next World Youth Day on 23 November, Solemnity of Christ the King, under the theme: “You also are my witnesses, because you have been with me” (Jn 15:27). As pilgrims of hope and by the power of the Holy Spirit, let us prepare ourselves to become courageous witnesses to Christ.

This October, as we contemplate with Mary the mysteries of Christ our Savior, let us deepen our prayer for peace, which should become concrete solidarity with people tormented by war. I thank the many children around the world who are praying the #HolyRosary for this intention.

I ask all those in positions of responsibility to commit themselves to this path, to bring about a ceasefire and to release the hostages. Let us #PrayTogether so that the ongoing efforts may put an end to the war and lead us towards a just and lasting peace.

I continue to be saddened by the immense suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza. In recent hours, in the dramatic situation in the Middle East, some significant steps forward have been taken in peace negotiations, which I hope will achieve the desired results as soon as possible. 1/

I express my concern about the rise of antisemitic hatred in the world, as unfortunately we saw with the terrorist attack in Manchester a few days ago.

No one should be forced to flee, nor exploited or mistreated because of their situation as foreigners or people in need! Human dignity must always come first!
