I am deeply moved by the death of little Alfie. Today I pray especially for his parents, as God the Father receives him in his tender embrace.

Authentic Christians are not afraid of opening up to others, of sharing their living spaces and transforming them into places of solidarity.

Life only fully makes sense when it is given as a gift. It becomes tasteless when it is lived for itself alone.

Moved by the prayers and immense solidarity shown little Alfie Evans, I renew my appeal that the suffering of his parents may be heard and that their desire to seek new forms of treatment may be granted.

When we are full of self-importance, we leave no space for God. So let us ask the Lord for a conversion of heart.

All it takes to encounter God is to acknowledge that we are needy. And the key to that encounter lies in humbling ourselves.

The Christian vocation means being a brother or sister to everyone, especially if they are poor, and even if they are an enemy.

God asks us little and gives us a lot. He asks us to open our hearts and to welcome Him and the most vulnerable of our brothers and sisters.

Those who protect children are on God’s side and triumph over those who oppress them. Let us free every child from every form of exploitation.

I just did.

Apparently a 'verified account' has a blue tick (that's nice).

Mr Twitter points out that "A verified badge does not imply an endorsement by Twitter."
