In this #SeasonofCreation, we pray once more in the great cathedral of creation, and revel in the grandiose cosmic choir made up of countless creatures singing God's praises. #PrayTogether

This #SeasonofCreation is an opportunity to cultivate our “ecological conversion”, a conversion encouraged by Saint John Paul II as a response to the “ecological catastrophe” predicted by Saint Paul VI back in 1970.

Today, more than ever, we need a non-worldly liturgy, one that makes us raise our eyes toward Heaven to experience that the world and life are inhabited by the Mystery of Christ; and at the same time, a liturgy that is not distanced from life.

May this year's theme, “Listen to the voice of creation”, foster a concrete commitment in each person to take care of our common home. Prey to our consumerist excesses, our sister, mother earth, weeps and implores us to put an end to our abuses and destruction. #SeasonOfCreation

God wants children, not slaves: free children. And love can only be lived in freedom. To learn to live one must learn to love, and for this it is necessary to discern.

Discernment is demanding but indispensable for living. It requires a filial relationship with God. God is Father and He does not leave us alone. He is always willing to welcome us. But He never imposes His will. Why? Because He wants to be loved and not feared. #GeneralAudience

Dear brothers and sisters, a minister of the Church is someone who experiences wonder before God’s plan and, in that spirit, passionately loves the Church, ready to be at the service of her mission wherever and however the Holy Spirit may choose.

To renew our faith and our common mission, we are called to rediscover the core of the faith: our relationship with Jesus and the preaching of his Gospel to the whole world. This is essential!

Mercy is the experience of feeling welcomed, put back on our feet, strengthened, healed, encouraged. To be forgiven is to experience here and now that which comes closest to being resurrected.

Celestine V was a courageous witness of the Gospel. In him, we admire a Church free from worldly logic, witnessing completely to that name of God which is Mercy.

The Word of God for today invites us to become humble and meek. Beginning with our misery, humility makes us take our gaze off ourselves in order to turn it toward God.

Today too, Jesus wants to bring this fire to the earth. He wants to light it anew on the shores of our daily lives. Jesus calls us by name; he looks us in the eye and he asks: Can I count on you?

A Cardinal loves the Church, always with that same spiritual fire, whether dealing with great questions or handling everyday problems, with the powerful of this world or those ordinary people who are great in God’s eyes.

Prayer helps us maintain a lively faith. The oil of faith preserves it, turning our thoughts often toward the Lord. Looking at the image of the crucifix, fixing our eyes on Jesus, can help us a lot. This is a beautiful way to pray.

As we approach the end of our lives, the essentials of life that we hold most dear become definitively clear to us. Our whole life appears like a seed that will have to be buried so that its flower and its fruit can be born.

#Peace is primarily an attitude of the heart. It is born of justice, grows in fraternity, flourishes on gratuitousness. It inspires us to serve the truth.

Jesus urges us to enter through the narrow door. This means following him in love, just like those who suffer because of their faith but who continue to pray and love, responding to evil with good, thus finding the strength to forgive. #GospelOfTheDay Lk 13:22-30

Without humility we cannot encounter God, we cannot experience salvation, and we cannot even encounter our neighbour, the brother and sister living near us.

To love like Jesus means to serve & give our life. To serve means to put others’ interests first, to fight the cancer of indifference, to share the gifts God has given us. To give our life means to leave egoism behind, to make our lives a gift, spending ourselves for all in need.

The witness of the elderly unites the generations of life. Same with the dimensions of time: past, present and future. The various ages of life are not separate worlds competing with each other. The alliance of the elderly and children will save the human family. #BlessingOfTime

The Gospel sets us in motion, and drives us to open up to God and our brothers. It is just like fire: while it warms us with God’s love, it wants to burn our selfishness, enlighten the dark sides of life, consume the false idols that enslave us. #GospelOfTheDay

We need to pray always, even when everything seems in vain, when God appears to be deaf and mute and it seems we are wasting time. Even if heaven is overshadowed, the Christian does not stop praying.
