  • “To respond concretely to the serious phenomenon of global warming is a moral imperative. Lack of action will have secondary effects, especially on the poorest, who are also the most vulnerable. #SeasonOfCreation” @Pontifex, 30 September 2021
  • “Let us #PrayTogether that every baptized person may be engaged in evangelization, available to the mission, by being witnesses of a life that has the flavour of the Gospel. #PrayerIntention #Synod” @Pontifex, 30 September 2021
  • “Saint #ThereseOfTheChildJesus is one of the saints who speaks to us the most about God’s grace and how God takes care of us, takes us by the hand and lets us easily climb the mountain of life – if only we abandon ourselves completely to Him.” @Pontifex, 1 October 2021

  • “Let us #PrayTogether for the gift of peace for the beloved land of Myanmar: so that the hands of those who live there no longer need to wipe away tears of pain and death, but instead join together to overcome difficulties and work together to bring peace.” @Pontifex, 3 October 2021
  • “The #GospelOfTheDay (Mk 10:2–16) says that Jesus is very tender with the little ones. The difficulties and situations that reveal our weakness are privileged opportunities to experience His love: in dark or lonely moments, God’s tenderness towards is made even more present.” @Pontifex, 3 October 2021
  • “Being poor in spirit is the way of achieving everything as persons and as a society: it leads toward using our resources, techologies and talents for integral human development, for the common good, social justice and the care of our common home. #Beatitudes” @Pontifex, 3 October 2021
  • “Together with #SaintFrancis we praise You, Father, with all your creatures who have come forth from your powerful hands. They are yours and are filled with your presence and your tenderness. #LaudatoSi’ #SeasonOfCreation” @Pontifex, 4 October 2021
  • “Care for our common home is also a call to respect: respect for creation, respect for our neighbour, respect for ourselves and for the Creator. #SeasonOfCreation” @Pontifex, 4 October 2021
  • “#COP26 in Glasgow is called to provide effective responses to the unprecedented ecological crisis and the crisis of values we are presently experiencing, and in this way to offer concrete hope to future generations. Let us accompany it with our spiritual closeness. #Faiths4COP26” @Pontifex, 4 October 2021
  • “Openness to interdependence and sharing, the dynamism of love and a call to respect: these are three interpretative keys that can shed light on our efforts to care for our common home. #Faiths4COP26 Speech” @Pontifex, 4 October 2021
  • “If we desire a more fraternal world, we need to educate the younger generations to acknowledge, appreciate and love each person, regardless of physical proximity, place of birth or where they live. #GlobalCompactOnEducation [Speech” @Pontifex, 5 October 2021
