During this month of May, may we entrust to the Blessed Virgin Mary our personal and family matters, as well as the suffering of those who fall victim to war. Let us #PrayTogether for the Church, all nations, and for peace in Ukraine and the Middle East.

The three theological virtues are great gifts of God. Without them, we might be prudent, just, strong, and temperate, but we would not have a heart that loves even when it is not loved, nor would we have hope that dares against all hope. #GeneralAudience

I am spiritually close to the people of #Kenya at this time when a severe flood has claimed many lives and destroyed vast areas. Let us #PrayTogether for all those who suffer the effects of this natural disaster.

Today we remember #SaintJosephTheWorker . Let us ask the Lord to renew and increase our faith, so that our every task may begin in Him and find completion in Him.

Let us #PrayTogether that women and men religious, and seminarians, grow in their own vocational journey through human, pastoral, spiritual, and community formation, which leads them to be credible witnesses of the Gospel. #PrayerIntention #ClickToPray

The joy of the Gospel, when truly embraced, triggers in us the movement of discipleship. It provokes a real exodus from ourselves and sets us on a path to encounter the Lord and experience the fullness of life.

Let us #PrayTogether for martyred Ukraine, for Palestine and Israel, for the Rohingya, and for many people who suffer due to war and violence. May the God of peace enlighten hearts, so that the desire for dialogue and reconciliation may grow in everyone.

Faith in Jesus, our connection with Him, opens us to receive the sap of God’s love, which multiplies our joy. He cares for us and brings forth shoots even when the soil of our life becomes arid. #GospelOfTheDay (Jn 15:1-8)

We all have received the great gift of being beloved children of God. We are called to fulfill the Lord's dream: to bear witness to and live His joy. There is nothing more beautiful.

Jesus gazes at everyone with an intense love that does not judge but knows how to be close and encourage. Art teaches us an outlook that is not possessive and does not objectify, but neither is it indifferent or superficial. Art teaches us a contemplative gaze.

Let us not forget that we all have mistakes for which we need forgiveness and wounds requiring healing. May we all be healed, so that we can bring healing, forgiven so that we can bring forgiveness, reborn so that we can bring rebirth. #Venice

When #GrandparentsAndGrandchildren and #ElderlyAndYoung spend time together, taking care of each other, their love is a breath of fresh air that refreshes our world and society. It makes us all stronger, beyond familial ties.

Faith is born of the compassionate gaze with which God looks upon us. It softens the hardness of our hearts, heals our wounds, and gives us new eyes to gaze upon ourselves, others, and every situation we experience, even the most painful.

Let us never lose sight of the Father's saving embrace. It is the paradigm of life, the heart of the Gospel, our model of radical love. May we allow Him to embrace us as children, so that we may embrace our brothers and sisters with the same charity.

Let us #PrayTogether for martyred Ukraine, Palestine, Israel, Myanmar, and for so many other countries that are at war. War is always a defeat, and those who profit from it most are arms manufacturers. Please, let us pray for peace!

If we open our hearts to the Holy Spirit, He will revive the theological virtues within us. If we have lost trust, God will reopen us to faith. If we are discouraged, God will reawaken hope within us. If our heart is hardened, God will soften it with His love. #GeneralAudience

Pride is a potent poison: a single drop is enough to spoil an entire life filled with goodness. A person may have performed a mountain of good deeds, but if we did them only to exalt ourselves, then we cannot call ourselves virtuous.

The love we receive from the Lord is the force that transforms our lives and enables us to love. We are able to love only because He has loved us, because He pours His own Spirit of holiness into our hearts. His Love heals and transforms us.
