Papal Tweets
- “In #Lent, may we be increasingly concerned with speaking words of comfort, strength, consolation and encouragement, and not words that demean, sadden, anger or show scorn.” @Pontifex, 23 March 2023
- “The martyrs are the most precious gift God could have given to His Church, for in them that “greater love” that Jesus showed us on the cross becomes a reality.” @Pontifex, 24 March 2023
- “Today I am thinking of 25 March last year, when, in union with all the bishops, the Church and humanity, in particular Russia and Ukraine, were consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Let us not tire of entrusting the cause of peace to the Queen of Peace!” @Pontifex, 25 March 2023
- “God came to live among us thanks to Mary’s ‘yes’ at the moment of the #Annunciation. It’s the most important ‘yes’ in history, a humble ‘yes’ that undoes the prideful ‘no’ of Genesis, a faithful ‘yes’ that heals disobedience, a willing ‘yes’ that overturns the egoism of sin.” @Pontifex, 25 March 2023
- “There are moments when life seems to be a sealed tomb: all is dark, and around us we see only sorrow and despair. In #TodaysGospel (Jn 11:1–45) Jesus tells us that in these moments we are not alone. Precisely in these moments He comes closer than ever to restore life to us.” @Pontifex, 26 March 2023
- “#TodaysGospel (Jn 11:1–45 is a hymn to life. Jesus teaches us not to let ourselves be imprisoned by pain, not to let hope die. He wants us free and living, he does not abandon us, he is always with us. He tells us, like Lazarus: come back to life!” @Pontifex, 26 March 2023
- “Let us continue to pray for the tormented Ukrainian people. And let us stay close also to the earthquake victims of Turkey and Syria. Let us also pray for the population of the state of Mississippi, struck by a devastating tornado. Let’s #PrayTogether” @Pontifex, 26 March 2023
- “We need to be cleansed of all the dust that has sullied our hearts. How? Prayer, fasting, works of mercy: this is the journey of #Lent.” @Pontifex, 27 March 2023
- “During this Season of #Lent, it’s good not to turn off the light in our rooms without placing ourselves before God’s light. Let’s give the Lord the chance to reawaken our hearts by opening the Gospel and letting ourselves be amazed by the #WordofGod that illuminates our steps.” @Pontifex, 28 March 2023
- “We must never forget the moment and the way in which God enters into our lives, treasuring in our hearts and minds that encounter with Grace that enkindles faith in our hearts and sparks zeal for the Gospel within us.” @Pontifex, 29 March 2023
