  • “Christian hope, nourished by the light of Christ, makes the resurrection and life shine even in the world’s darkest nights.” @Pontifex 7 November 2019
  • “Faith calls for a journey, a “going out”. Purification takes places on the journey of life, a journey that is often uphill, because it leads upwards.” @Pontifex 8 November 2019
  • “Prayer always arouses feelings of fraternity, it breaks down barriers, crosses borders, creates invisible but real and effective bridges, and opens horizons of hope.” @Pontifex 9 November 2019
  • “Jesus, true God and true man, destroyed death, is risen and wants to rise again in the hearts of all. No one, no matter how wounded by evil, is condemned to be separated from God on this earth forever.” @Pontifex 9 November 2019
  • “Listening to the simple and clear words of Jesus about life after death in the #GospelOfToday (Lk 20:27–38) gives great consolation and hope. We need this a lot in our time, so rich in knowledge about the universe but so poor in wisdom about eternal life.” @Pontifex 10 November 2019
  • “We must put an end to the culture of waste, we who pray to the Lord to give us our daily bread. Food waste contributes to hunger and to climate change. http://www.pas.va/content/accademia/en/events/2019/food_waste.html” @Pontifex 11 November 2019
  • “We ask the Lord to increase our faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in our hearts: He who assumed our human nature, who became Man in order to fight with our flesh and to conquer in our flesh. #HomilySantaMarta” @Pontifex 12 November 2019
  • “I am close to Armenian Catholics of Qamishli, in Syria, as they gather for the funeral of their parish priest, Father Hovsep Bedoyan, who was killed yesterday together with his father. I pray for them, their families, and for all Christians in Syria.” @Pontifex 12 November 2019
  • “Let us ask the Lord to pour His Spirit upon Christian couples and families, so that, as they generously open their doors to Christ and to their brothers and sisters, they may bear authentic witness to a life of faith, hope and charity. #GeneralAudience” @Pontifex 13 November 2019
  • “My thoughts go out to beloved Burkina Faso, where an attack has killed many people. I entrust to the Lord the victims and all those who suffer as a result of such tragedies. I appeal to the Authorities to promote inter-religious dialogue and harmony.” @Pontifex 13 November 2019
