After blessing the Filipinos in a mass attended by millions on the eve of his return to the Vatican, Pope Francis posted another tweet in Filipino on Sunday, reminding how the faithful often forget about their relationship with God.

It was the Pope's fifth tweet in Filipino.

Madalas nating makalimutang pagtuunan ng pansin ang mga bagay na talagang mahalaga. Nakakalimutan natin na tayo'y Anak ng Diyos.

— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) January 18, 2015

An English translation was posted two minutes later.

How often we forget to dedicate ourselves to that which truly matters! We forget that we are children of God.

Earlier in the day, he reminded Christians they are members of God's family, and should go out to the needy and serve them.

"Bilang Kristiyano, miyembro ng pamilya ng Diyos, tinatawag tayo upang hanapin at paglingkuran ang lahat ng mga nangangailangan," he said.
