  • “#Peace can become a reality if we begin to be in peace with ourselves and with those who are near us, removing the obstacles that prevent us from taking care of those who find themselves in need and in indigence. #WorldPeaceDay Message” @Pontifex 1 January 2021
  • “#WorldPeaceDay YouTube” @Pontifex 1 January 2021

  • “As he did in Bethlehem, so too with us, God loves to work wonders through our poverty. He placed the whole of our salvation in the manger of a stable. He is unafraid of our poverty, so let us allow his mercy to transform it completely!” @Pontifex 4 January 2021

  • “To worship the Lord, we first have to “lift up our eyes”: not to let ourselves be imprisoned by those imaginary spectres that stifle hope, knowing that the Lord is aware of our troubles, attentive to our prayers and not indifferent to the tears we shed.” @Pontifex 6 January 2021
  • “The first step towards an attitude of worship is to “lift up our eyes”. When we lift up our eyes to God, life’s problems do not go away, but we feel certain that the Lord grants us the strength to deal with them. [Homily[(http://vatican.va/content/francesco/en/homilies/2021/documents/papa-francesco_20210106_omelia-epifania.html)” @Pontifex 6 January 2021
  • “Like the Magi, we too are called to allow ourselves to be attracted, illuminated and converted by Christ: He is the journey of faith, through prayer and the contemplation of God’s works, which continually fill us with every new joy and wonder.” @Pontifex 6 January 2021
  • “Today we celebrate World Missionary Child Day. I thank all the children and boys and girls who are involved. I encourage you to be joyful witnesses of Jesus, seeking to always bring fraternity among your peers.” @Pontifex 6 January 2021
