This is the time of mercy; this is the time of the Lord’s compassion. Let us open our hearts so that He may come to us.

Today we ask for the grace to be docile to the voice of the Lord and for a heart open to the Lord; for the grace not to be afraid to do great things and the sensitivity to pay attention to the small things. #SantaMarta

If we live like children of God and we let ourselves be guided by the Holy Spirit, we do good to all creation as well.

Virgin of the #HolyRosary, help us to be of one heart and one soul, a holy people journeying toward our Heavenly home.

Faith must lead us believers to see other persons as our brothers and sisters that we need to support and love. #ApostolicJourney #NorthMacedonia http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/speeches/2019/may/documents/papa-francesco_20190507_macedoniadelnord-giovani.html …

Mother Teresa, we ask you to intercede with Jesus, that we too may obtain the grace to be attentive to the cry of the poor, the sick, the outcast and the least of our brothers and sisters. #ApostolicJourney #NorthMacedonia http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/prayers/documents/papa-francesco_preghiere_20190507_macedoniadelnord-preghiera.html …

May each of us, wherever we may be, in all that we do, be able to say: “Lord, make me an instrument of your peace”. #ApostolicJourney #Bulgaria http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/prayers/documents/papa-francesco_preghiere_20190506_bulgaria-preghiera-pace.html …

As Pope John XXIII said: “I never met a pessimist who managed to do something good”. The Lord is the first not to be pessimistic. He constantly tries to open up paths of resurrection for all of us. #ApostolicJourney #Bulgaria

Every morning, God comes to find us where we are. He summons us to rise at his word, to look up and to realize that we were made for heaven. #ApostolicJourney #Bulgaria http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/homilies/2019/documents/papa-francesco_20190505_omelia-bulgaria.html …

As Saint Cyril said: “With joy I set out for the Christian faith; however weary and physically weak, I will go with joy”. #ApostolicJourney #Bulgaria http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/speeches/2019/may/documents/papa-francesco_20190505_bulgaria-patriarca.html …

I ask you to accompany with your prayers my journey to Bulgaria and North Macedonia, which I begin tomorrow as a pilgrim of peace and fraternity. #ApostolicJourney

In many countries May is the month of Mary. May the Mother of God accompany us and protect Christians in fighting against the forces of evil. Let us entrust ourselves to her and pray for the Church and for peace in the world.

We need a journalism that is free, at the service of truth, goodness, and justice; a journalism that helps build a culture of encounter. #DefendMediaFreedom

May St Joseph, the humble workman of Nazareth, direct us toward Christ, support the sacrifice of those who do good, and intercede for those who have lost their job or who are not successful in finding a job.

Let us ask the Lord to grant us the awareness that we cannot truly be Christians unless we walk with the Holy Spirit, unless we let the Holy Spirit be the protagonist of our life. #SantaMarta

God searches for you, even if you don’t search for Him. God loves you, even if you have forgotten Him. God looks for beauty in you, even if you think you have uselessly squandered all your talents.

If we open our hearts to mercy and we seal forgiveness with a fraternal embrace, we proclaim before the world that it is possible to overcome evil with good. #DivineMercy

The Lord seeks everyone, He wants everyone to feel the warmth of His mercy and His love.

During these #Easter days, proclaim with your life and with your words, the wonderful news that Jesus is Risen.
