  • “Let us help today’s Europe, faint with weariness, to rediscover the ever youthful face of Jesus! Homily@Pontifex, 23 September 2021
  • “Do not look the other way at the suffering of your brothers and sisters deprived of freedom and dignity, victims of contemporary slavery. Let us ask #OurLadyOfRansom to help us work together to break their chains and give them back a dignified life.” @Pontifex, 24 September 2021
  • “All of us are brothers and sisters! Let us pray to the Most High that, after this time of trial, there may no longer be “others”, but rather, a great “we”, rich in diversity.” @Pontifex, 25 September 2021
  • “In the #GospelOfTheDay Jesus exhorts us: instead of judging everything and everyone, let us be careful of ourselves! Indeed, the risk is that of being inflexible towards others and indulgent towards ourselves.” @Pontifex, 26 September 2021
  • “Today the Church is called to go out to the streets of the existential peripheries to heal the wounded and seek the lost, without prejudices or fear, without proselytism, but ready to expand her tent to welcome everyone in an ever larger WE. #WDMR2021” @Pontifex, 26 September 2021
  • “I appeal to all men and women to journey together towards an ever broader “we”, to renew the human family, to build together a future of justice and peace, and to ensure that no one is left out. #WDMR2021” @Pontifex, 26 September 2021
  • “The arms race, including nuclear weapons, continues to squander precious resources that could better be used to benefit the integral development of peoples and protect the natural environment. #NuclearDisarmament” @Pontifex, 26 September 2021
  • “The example of #SaintVincentDePaul encourages us to make time and space for the poor, and to make their worries and troubles our own, because a Christianity without contact with those who suffer becomes disembodied, incapable of touching the flesh of Christ.” @Pontifex, 27 September 2021
  • “Dear young people, once again I would like to take you by the hand and walk with you on the spiritual pilgrim)age that leads to the 2023 World Youth Day in Lisbon. #WYD2023 Message @Pontifex, 27 September 2021
  • “During this time of crisis – health, social, environmental – let us reflect on how the use of material goods can be harmful for the earth. Let us choose to change and to move toward a simpler and more respectful style of life regarding creation. #SeasonOfCreation” @Pontifex, 28 September 2021
  • “Christian spirituality proposes moderation and simplicity that allows us to stop and appreciate the small things, to be grateful for the opportunities life affords us, to be spiritually detached from what we possess, and not succumb to sadness for what we lack. #SeasonOfCreation” @Pontifex, 28 September 2021
  • “Today, the Church remembers the #ArchangelSaints Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, messengers of God’s grace. Let us entrust ourselves to them so that our good works might make God’s love visible in the world.” @Pontifex, 29 September 2021
  • “The response of faith demands that we be active in our love for God and in our love of neighbour. #GeneralAudience” @Pontifex, 29 September 2021
  • “Fighting against the terrible scourge of hunger means also fighting waste. To throw food away means to throw people away. It is scandalous today not to notice how precious food is as a good, and how so much good ends up so badly. #FLWDay” @Pontifex, 29 September 2021
  • “Dear young people, I would like to thank you for your dreams and good projects, and for the fact that you are as concerned about human relations as you are about caring for the environment. Thank you. It is a concern that is good for everyone. #Youth4Climate” @Pontifex, 29 September 2021
