How marvellous it would be if, at the end of the day, each of us could say: today I have performed an act of charity towards others!
Pope FrancisIf sadness comes to you one day with an invitation, tell it you are committed to joy and will be faithful to it your whole life long.
Pope FrancisMay all people here find inspiration and strength to build a future of reconciliation, justice and peace for all the children of this beloved land.
Pope FrancisEach encounter with Jesus fills us with joy, with that deep joy which only God can give.
Pope FrancisJesus wanted to show us his heart as the heart that loved so deeply. For this reason we have this commemoration today, especially of God's love. God loved us, he loved us with such great love. I am thinking of what St Ignatius told us.... He pointed out two criteria on love. The first: love is expressed more clearly in actions than in words. The second: there is greater love in giving than in receiving.
Pope Francis
