Pope tweets on Our Lady

Vatican City, 24 February 2014: In a post on the social media on Monday, Pope Francis tweeted on Our Lady saying she is close to us when we face difficult problems. The Pontiff wrote on his Twitter account @pontifex: “Our Lady is always close to us, especially when we feel the weight of life with all its problems.”

Pope Francis has been an ardent devotee of Mother Mary, always invoking her intercession at the end of his every appeal or exhortation. On 10 December last year, the Pope wrote on his Twitter account @pontifex: “Mary, Our Mother, sustain us in moments of darkness, difficultly and apparent defeat.”

The Pope has now 11 million followers on his Twitter account @Pontifex. And the re-tweeting of Pope’s message is reported to be reaching more than 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.
