Pope Francis’s Tweet For today Jesus would never ask us to be assassins; he calls us to be disciples. He would never send us to die. He invites us to life. Pape François Jésus ne nous demanderait jamais d’être des assassins, il nous appelle disciples. Il ne nous enverrait jamais mourir, Lui qui est la vie.
