Pope tweets on Sin and Redemption
Vatican City, 1 February 2014: In a post on the social media on Saturday, Pope Francis
reflected on sin and redemption saying that we may not be discouraged. The Pontiff
wrote on his Twitter account @pontifex: “Sometimes we are saddened by the weight
of our sins. May we not be discouraged. Christ has come to lift this burden and give
us peace.” Pope Francis has often spoken about sin and God’s forgiveness. He wrote on 26th September last year: God’s forgiveness is stronger than any sin. Earlier on 19 September, the Pontiff wrote: We are all sinners, but we experience the joy of God’s forgiveness and we walk forward trusting in his mercy.
The Pope has now close to 11 million followers on his Twitter account @Pontifex. And the re-tweeting of Pope’s message is reported to be reaching at least 60 million people. The Pope’s English-language handle alone has over 3 million followers. The papal tweets are published in nine languages on the micro-blogging website.
