The Pope’s first Tweets Wednesday, December 12, 2012

Nine days ago, the Vatican launched the firstpersonal Twitter
accounts for the Pope, giving Pope Benedict XVI the opportunity to
tweet in English (via @Pontifex ) and in seven other major languages.
The day these accounts were launched, Pope Benedict also invited the
world to send him questions about faith via #AskPontifex . He promised
to respond to some of these questions nine days later. And now,with
tens of thousands ofquestions in hand, @pontifex has answered: Today,
the Pope sent his first Tweet during a live event at the Vatican
attended by thousands.
Benedict XVI

This Tweet was immediately retweeted thousands of times, and shortly
afterwards @pontifex and its seven related language accounts began
responding to several questions tweeted in the past week. The first
question, asked by Spanish journalist @jcalderero in Madrid, asked:
Benedict XVI
@ PontifexFollow
How can we celebrate the Year of Faith better in our daily lives?

By speaking with Jesus in prayer, listening to what he tells you in
the Gospel and looking for him in those in need

The second question, originally in Portuguese, asked how people can
remain hopeful in troubled times. His response:

@ PontifexFollow
We can be certain that a believer is never alone. God is the solid
rock upon which we build our lives and his love is always faithful

Any suggestions on how to be more prayerful when we are so busy with
the demands of work, families and the world?
