'It's the moms who pass on the faith. The faith is passed on in dialect, that is, the language of moms, that dialect that moms know to speak with their children. And to you moms: be diligent in passing on the faith in that maternal dialect.' #PopeFrancis #GeneralAudience

🎥 HIGHLIGHTS | The first outdoor General Audience of 2023 with Pope Francis was a joyful moment for all present in St. Peter's Square. The Holy Father made his usual tour to greet the faithful and pilgrims. Check out the highlights: #PopeFrancis #GeneralAudience
The Lord Jesus has entrusted the Gospel to us so that we might bear His light into the world's darkness. Please, do not extinguish this light in you, but share it, so that fraternity might shine forth! #GeneralAudience
To communicate God, the joyful credibility of the testimony, the universality of the proclamation and the timeliness of the message are not enough. Without the Holy Spirit, all zeal is vain and falsely apostolic: it would only be our own and would not bear fruit. #GeneralAudience
What is the shortest way to encounter Jesus? Make yourself needy. Recognize your need for grace, your need for forgiveness, your need for joy. And Jesus will draw near to you. #GeneralAudience

I think back with joy of the local Church and the Mongolian people: a noble and wise people, who showed me great warmth and affection. Today I would like to take you to the heart of this journey. #PopeFrancis #GeneralAudience #Mongolia
The Lord does not look for the centre-stage, but for the simple heart of those who desire him and love him without ostentation, without wanting to tower above others. #GeneralAudience
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
The Church is not a place for the perfect and the privileged. It is a community of disciples that bears witness to Jesus whom by grace they have come to know. We intercede for all, praying, loving and sacrificing ourselves for the world. #GeneralAudience
Education does not consist in filling heads with ideas, but in accompanying and encouraging students on a journey of human and spiritual growth, showing them how friendship with the Risen Jesus enlarges the heart and makes life more human. #GeneralAudience
