- “In these difficult times, your work as maritime personnel and fishermen has become even more important. Today I would like to offer you a message of hope, comfort and consolation. #SeafarersAreKeyWorkers Message” @Pontifex 25 June 2020
- “Let us begin anew from the numerous examples of generous, freely-given love, which in these months have shown us how much closeness, care, and sacrifice are needed to nourish fraternity and civil coexistence. In this way, we will emerge from this crisis stronger.” @Pontifex 25 June 2020
- “Only those who see with the heart see things well, because they know how to “look into” each person: to see a brother or sister apart from his or her mistakes, hope amid difficulty. They see God everywhere.” @Pontifex 26 June 2020
- “If you are looking for meaning in life but, not finding one, you throw yourself away with ”imitations of love“, such as wealth, career, pleasure, or an addiction, let Jesus look at you, and you will discover you have always been loved.” @Pontifex 27 June 2020
- “Jesus says to His disciples: “Whoever does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me” (Mt 10:38). There is no true love without the cross, without a personal price to pay. When borne with Jesus, the cross is not scary because He’s always at our side to help us.” @Pontifex 28 June 2020
- “God’s generous gratitude takes into account even the smallest gesture of love and service given to our brothers and sisters. Jesus teaches us this in #TheGospelOfTheDay (Mt 10:42).” @Pontifex 28 June 2020
- “I invite everyone to pray for the people of Yemen, especially children, who are suffering as a result of the very serious humanitarian crisis, and for those affected by the severe floods in Western Ukraine.” @Pontifex 28 June 2020
- “On the feast of the Apostles Peter and Paul, I would like to share two key words: unity and prophecy. The Lord asks each of us: “Do you want to be a builder of unity? Do you want to be a prophet of my heaven on earth?” Let’s find the courage to answer: “Yes, I do!”” @Pontifex 29 June 2020
- “Just as the Lord transformed Simon into Peter, so He calls each one of us, to make us living stones with which to build a renewed Church and a renewed humanity.” @Pontifex 29 June 2020
- “The proud Saul became Paul, a name that means “small”. The Lord shook him. He shattered Paul’s illusion of being respectably religious to make him His instrument. Homily” @Pontifex 29 June 2020
- “Today we are united in a special way with the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. Peter and Andrew were brothers. Whenever possible, we exchange fraternal visits on our respective feast days, as we journey together towards the goal that the Lord desires: full unity.” @Pontifex 29 June 2020
- “Today the Fourth Conference of the European Union and the United Nations to “support the future of Syria and the region” takes place. Let us pray for this meeting, so that it might place above everything the good of peoples who need food, health care, education, work.” @Pontifex 30 June 2020
- “Today we commemorate the first martyrs of the Church of Rome. They have left us an inheritance to protect and imitate: the Gospel of love and mercy. The Christian martyrs of every period are men and women of peace, despite persecution.” @Pontifex 30 June 2020
- “Evil never gives peace. It causes frenzy first then leaves bitterness. Instead, God’s voice never promises cheap, easily acquired joy. He invites us to go beyond our ego to find that true good: peace.” @Pontifex 1 July 2020
