  • “Each and every person is needed in order for the journey of fraternity and peace to progress. Let us all hear the call to expand our horizons to open our hearts because we are all brothers and sisters.” @Pontifex, 9 November 2022
  • “I renew my invitation to pray for war-torn #Ukraine. Let us ask the Lord for peace for these people who are suffering so much cruelty on the part of some mercenaries making war. Let us #PrayTogether” @Pontifex, 9 November 2022
  • “Saints do not come from a “parallel universe”. They are believers rooted in their daily activities with their families, study, work; social, economic and political life. In all these settings, they fearlessly strive to carry out God’s will.” @Pontifex, 10 November 2022
  • “A saint is a luminous reflection of the Lord of history. The path of holiness is universal. It is a call directed toward each of us that begins with Baptism and is unique and unrepeatable for each person.” @Pontifex, 11 November 2022
  • “The poor guarantee us an eternal ”income“. They are already helping us to become rich in love. For the worst kind of poverty to combat is the poverty of our love.” @Pontifex, 12 November 2022
  • “On this #WorldDayOfThePoor, God’s word is a forceful admonition to break through that inner deafness that prevents us from listening to the stifled cry of pain of the frailest. #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 21:5–19)

  • “Let us not be content, like the people in the #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 21:5–19), to admire the beautiful stones of the temple, while failing to recognize God’s true temple, the human person, especially the poor, in whose face, in whose wounds, we encounter Jesus. #WorldDayOfThePoor” @Pontifex, 13 November 2022
  • “Let us always remain close to our brothers and sisters in martyred Ukraine. Close in prayer and with concrete solidarity. Peace is possible! Let us not resign ourselves to war.” @Pontifex, 13 November 2022
  • “On the first anniversary of the launch of the #LaudatoSi’ Platform for Action, which promotes ecological conversion, I encourage this mission, crucial for the future of humanity, so that it may foster in everyone a genuine commitment to the care of creation.” @Pontifex, 14 November 2022
  • “I would like to recall the #COP27 Summit on Climate Change, which is taking place in Egypt. I hope that steps forward will be made, with courage and determination, in the wake of the Paris Agreement.” @Pontifex, 14 November 2022
  • “Goodness is hidden, silent; it requires slow and continuous excavation. Because God’s style is discreet. He does not impose himself. He is like the air we breathe – we don’t see it but it allows us to live, and we realize it only when it’s missing.” @Pontifex, 15 November 2022
