We cannot be part-time Christians, Pope tweets

Vatican City, 20 August 2013: Christianity is a full-time faith, Pope Francis told Catholics on Monday. The Pontiff also exhorted Christians to always keep Christ at the centre of their lives.
“We cannot be Christians part-time. If Christ is at the centre of our lives, he is present in all that we do”, Pope Francis wrote from his Twitter account.

Catholics can't put their faith on a part-time schedule or rely on it just for the moments they choose; being Christian is a full-time occupation, Pope Francis had earlier said.

If people don't open their hearts to the Holy Spirit to let God purify and enlighten them, then "our being Christian will be superficial," the pope said on last Wednesday at his weekly general audience.

The Pope now has more than 8 million followers on his Twitter account @Pontifex. The Pope’s English-language handle alone has over 2.8 million followers. The papal tweets are published in nine languages on the micro-blogging website.Source: VR Sedoc
