Sweet Tweets for 5/09/14 — Happy (Almost) Mother’s Day! 2015-03-12T16:46:36-07:00 Lisa M. Hendey

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

I was so moved this week by Pope Francis’ tweet this week : “In our families we learn to love and to recognise the dignity of all, especially of the elderly.” This seems to be such a fitting week for a week during which we celebrate the gift of motherhood. And with the beautiful role model of our Pope Benedict XVI, we see such dignity on display.

This week has been particularly busy for me, so I’m eternally grateful to John Clem for helping me to stay in touch — at least once per week — with the big news of the week!
