  • ““This is not just about migrants”, in the twofold sense that migrants are first of all human persons, and that they are the symbol of all those rejected by today’s globalized society. http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/homilies/2019/documents/papa-francesco_20190708_omelia-migranti.html …” @Pontifex 8 July 2019
  • “We pray for the sick who are abandoned and left to die. A society is human if it protects life, every life, from its beginning to its natural end, without choosing who is worthy to live or who is not. Doctors should serve life, not take it away.” @Pontifex 10 July 2019
  • “May God the Father welcome Vincent Lambert in His arms. Let us not build a civilization that discards persons those whose lives we no longer consider to be worthy of living: every life is valuable, always.” @Pontifex 11 July 2019
  • “Faith is a gift that keeps alive a profound and beautiful certainty: that we are God’s beloved children.” @Pontifex 12 July 2019
  • “Today we celebrate #SeaSunday, dedicated to seafarers and fishermen. I pray for them and their families, and I encourage every effort to protect and safeguard their human rights.” @Pontifex 14 July 2019
  • “In today’s Gospel, Jesus proposes the Samaritan as a model. By loving his neighbor as himself, he demonstrates how to love God with one’s whole heart, while at the same time expressing true religiosity and full humanity.” @Pontifex 14 July 2019
  • “Today, the Feast of #OurLadyofMountCarmel, we contemplate the Virgin who stands beside the Cross of Christ. That is also the place of the Church: close to Christ.” @Pontifex 16 July 2019
  • “Today’s Gospel reminds us that the wisdom of the heart lies in knowing how to combine contemplation and action. Let us ask for the grace to love and serve God, and our brothers and sisters, with the hands of Martha and the heart of Mary.” @Pontifex 21 July 2019
  • “Witness is born from the encounter with the living Jesus. #SaintMaryMagdalene, Apostle of Hope, pray for us!” @Pontifex 22 July 2019
