  • “#Lent is a reminder to stop, to return to the essential, to fast from all that is superfluous and distracting. It is a wake-up call for the spirit.” @Pontifex 16 March 2019
  • “#Lent is a journey of returning to the essential, during which the Lord asks us to follow three steps: almsgiving, prayer, and fasting.” @Pontifex 17 March 2019
  • “I pray for the victims of the horrible attack against two mosques in #Christchurch, New Zealand. I renew my invitation for prayer and gestures of peace to combat hatred and violence.” @Pontifex 17 March 2019
  • “How do we not judge, not condemn, and forgive? ”Give and it will be given to you“: be generous in giving. Not only material alms, but spiritual alms too: spend time with someone in need, visit someone who is sick, offer a smile. #SantaMarta” @Pontifex 18 March 2019
  • “Saint Joseph, spouse of the Virgin Mary, watch over the whole Church always, and protect Her in every moment.” @Pontifex 19 March 2019
  • “#Lent is rediscovering that we are made for the flame that always burns: for God, for the eternity of Heaven, and not for the world.” @Pontifex 20 March 2019
  • “I express my sorrow and closeness to the dear people of Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and Malawi, affected by Cyclone Idai. I entrust the many victims and their families to the mercy of God. #PrayForAfrica #cycloneIdai” @Pontifex 20 March 2019
