Papal Tweets
- “The option for the poor and the abandoned motivates us to liberate them from material poverty and to defend their rights, but also to invite them to friendship with the Lord, who loves them and has given them immense dignity. #SocialJusticeDay” @Pontifex 20 February 2020
- “To follow Jesus we must take three steps: draw close to Him to know Him better, confess – with the strength of the Holy Spirit – that He is the Son of God, and accept the path of humility and humiliation that He chose for the redemption of humanity. #HomilySantaMarta” @Pontifex 20 February 2020
- “We received life not to bury it, but to put it into play; not to keep it, but to give it. Whoever is with Jesus knows that the secret to possessing life is to give it.” @Pontifex 21 February 2020
- “On the feast of the #ChairOfSaintPeter, we give thanks to God for the mission entrusted to the apostle Peter and his successors: to gather His people from among the nations and guide them in charity and truth along the path of salvation.” @Pontifex 22 February 2020
- “This is the work the Lord entrusts for the Mediterranean: to restore broken relationships, to rebuild cities destroyed by violence, to make a garden flourish, to instill hope in who has lost it and to encourage those caught up in themselves not to fear their brothers or sisters.” @Pontifex 23 February 2020
- “If we want to be disciples of Christ, this is the way: loved by God, we are called to love; forgiven, to forgive; saved freely, to seek no profit from the good we do. #Bari2020” @Pontifex 23 February 2020
- “Let us pray to the Lord that he may move hearts and that all may overcome the logic of confrontation, hatred and revenge in order to rediscover themselves as brothers, children of one Father. #Bari2020” @Pontifex 23 February 2020
- ““We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God” (2 Cor 5:20) http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/messages/lent/documents/papa-francesco_20191007_messaggio-quaresima2020.html” @Pontifex 24 February 2020
- “I wish you may all learn to look at life from above, from the perspective of heaven, to see things with God’s eyes, through the prism of the Gospel.” @Pontifex 24 February 2020
- “Worldliness is the enemy of God. There is only one path against the spirit of the world: humility. Serving others, choosing the last place, not climbing the ladder. #HomilySantaMarta” @Pontifex 25 February 2020
- “This year the Lord grants us, once again, a favourable time to prepare to celebrate with renewed hearts the great mystery of the death and resurrection of Jesus, the cornerstone of Christian life. #Lent http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/messages/lent/documents/papa-francesco_20191007_messaggio-quaresima2020.html” @Pontifex 26 February 2020

- “We begin the #Lenten Season by receiving #ashes. We are dust in the universe. Yet we are dust loved by God. http://vatican.va/content/francesco/en/homilies/2020/documents/papa-francesco_20200226_omelia-ceneri.html” @Pontifex 26 February 2020
- “The #ashes we receive on our foreheads remind us that, as God’s children, we cannot spend our lives chasing after dust.” @Pontifex 26 February 2020
- “#Ashes remind us of the direction of our existence: a passage from dust to life. We are dust, earth, clay, but if we allow ourselves to be shaped by the hands of God, we become something wonderous. http://vatican.va/content/francesco/en/homilies/2020/documents/papa-francesco_20200226_omelia-ceneri.html” @Pontifex 26 February 2020
- “#Lent is a time of grace, a time for recognizing that our lowly #ashes are loved by God and for letting God gaze upon us with love, and in this way change our lives. We were put in this world to go from ashes to life.” @Pontifex 26 February 2020
