  • “Charity is the beating heart of the Christian: just as one cannot live without a heartbeat, so one cannot be a Christian without charity.” @Pontifex 24 June 2021
  • “Love, following in the footsteps of Christ, in concern and compassion for all, is the highest expression of our faith and hope.” @Pontifex 26 June 2021
  • “Sister, brother, let Jesus look upon and heal your heart. And if you have already felt His tender gaze upon you, imitate Him; do as He does. Help us to bring comfort to those with wounded hearts whom we meet on our journey. #GospelOfTheDay (Mk 5:21–43)” @Pontifex 27 June 2021
  • “Today, in proximity to the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, I ask you to pray for the Pope. Pray in a special way: the Pope needs your prayers!” @Pontifex 27 June 2021
  • “On the occasion of today’s Day of prayer for peace in the Middle East, I invite everyone to implore God’s mercy and peace in that region, where the Christian faith was born and is alive, despite the suffering.” @Pontifex 27 June 2021
  • “If we are docile to love, to the Holy Spirit who is the creative love of God and who brings harmony to diversity, he will open the way to a renewed fraternity.” @Pontifex 28 June 2021
  • “Let us ask the Lord, through the intercession of Saints Peter and Paul, to help us be open to His grace, so that we can see, judge and act from the truth and freedom that come from the encounter with Christ.” @Pontifex 29 June 2021
  • “At the heart of the story of Peter and Paul is not their own gifts and abilities, but the encounter with Christ that changed their lives. They experienced a love that healed and set them free, and because of that, they became apostles and ministers of freedom for others.” @Pontifex 29 June 2021
  • “Peter and Paul did not believe in words, but in deeds. Peter did not speak about mission, he was a fisher of men; Paul did not write learned books, but letters of what he experienced as he traveled and bore witness.” @Pontifex 29 June 2021
  • “70 years ago Pope Benedict was ordained a priest. To you, Benedict, dear father and brother, goes our affection, our gratitude and our closeness. Thank you for your credible witness. Thank you for your gaze, constantly directed towards the horizon of God.” @Pontifex 29 June 2021
  • “Tomorrow a special day of prayer and reflection on Lebanon will take place. I invite you all to join spiritually with us, praying that Lebanon may recover from the serious crisis it is going through and show the world once again its face of peace and hope.” @Pontifex 30 June 2021
  • “Let us pray that, in social, economic, and political situations of conflict, we may be courageous and passionate architects of dialogue and friendship. [Video]” @Pontifex 30 June 2021
