- “The Lord always watches over us with mercy. Let us not be afraid of approaching him! He has a merciful heart! If we show him our inner wounds, our inner sins, he will always forgive us. It is pure mercy! Let us go to Jesus! #SacredHeartofJesus” @Pontifex 19 June 2020
- “Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict. Let us remember that women embody within themselves the protection of life, communion, and the desire to care for all things. The way we treat women’s bodies reveals our level of humanity.” @Pontifex 19 June 2020
- “I invite you to pray for priests, so that through your prayer the Lord might strengthen their vocation, comfort them in their ministry, and help them always be joyful ministers of the Gospel for all people. #SanctificationOfPriests” @Pontifex 19 June 2020
- “Jesus is present, as He was at the time of Herod, in each person forced to flee to safety. In their faces we are called to see Christ’s face who pleads with us to help. In the end, we will be the ones to thank Him for being able to love and serve. #WorldRefugeeDay” @Pontifex 20 June 2020
- “Dear Doctors and Nurses, the world saw how much good you did in a very difficult situation. Even when you were exhausted, you continued dedicating yourselves with professionalism and self-sacrifice. This generates hope. My esteem and sincere thanks go to you!” @Pontifex 20 June 2020
- “Dear young people, let us ask for the grace of a new heart through the intercession of your patron #StAloysiusGonzaga, a courageous young man who never retreated from serving others, to the point of giving his life to care for plague victims. May the Lord change our hearts!” @Pontifex 21 June 2020
- “In this Sunday’s Gospel (Mt 10:26–33) Jesus invites us not to be afraid, to be strong and confident in the face of life’s challenges, because even when we encounter setbacks, our lives rest firmly in God’s hands, who loves us and takes care of us.” @Pontifex 21 June 2020
- “The Word of God is given to us as the Word of life, which transforms, renews, and does not judge in order to condemn, but heals and has forgiveness as its aim. A Word that is light for our steps!” @Pontifex 22 June 2020
- “God created us for communion, for fraternity. Now more than ever the pretense of focusing everything on ourselves, making individualism society’s guiding principle, has proven illusory. We have to be careful! When the emergency is over we can easily fall back into this illusion.” @Pontifex 23 June 2020
- “The birth of #JohnTheBaptist to elderly parents teaches us that God does not rely on our reasoning and limited human abilities. We must learn to trust, to be silent before the mystery of God, and to contemplate His works in humility and silence.” @Pontifex 24 June 2020
