  • “Dear elderly brothers and sisters, please look at the young people. The young people are watching us and our consistency can open up a beautiful path of life for them. Hypocrisy, on the other hand, will do so much harm. Let us #PrayTogether for one another. #BlessingOfTime” @Pontifex, 4 May 2022
  • “We need to be careful of the mentality that separates priests from laity, considering the first as protagonists and the second as executors, and carry out the Christian mission as one People of God. The entire Church is an evangelizing community. #Prayer #Vocations” @Pontifex, 5 May 2022
  • “For the 59th World Day of Prayer for #Vocations, I would like to reflect with you on the bigger meaning of ”vocation“ in the context of a synodal Church that listens to God and the world. YAMF Message” @Pontifex, 5 May 2022
  • “As Christians, we are individually called to a #vocation, but also called together. Each of us shines like a star in the heart of God, but we are called to form constellations that can guide the path of humanity.” @Pontifex, 6 May 2022
  • “The word of God frees us from self-centeredness, and is able to purify, enlighten and recreate us. So let us listen to that Word, to open us to the vocation that God entrusts to us! #Prayer #Vocations” @Pontifex, 6 May 2022
  • “Let us often turn to Mary, Mother of believers! The various forms of Marian devotion, and especially the recitation of the #HolyRosary, will help us live our journey of faith and Christian witness. #PrayTogether” @Pontifex, 7 May 2022
  • “Christ’s followers go where He goes, on the same path. They seeks the lost, are interested in those who are far-off, take to heart the situation of the suffering, weep with those who weep, take their neighbour by the hand, placing them on their shoulders. #GospelOfTheDay” @Pontifex, 8 May 2022
  • “Today is Mother’s Day in many countries. Let us affectionately remember our mothers, even those who are no longer with us down here, but who live in our hearts. Our prayer, our affection, and our best wishes for all our mothers.” @Pontifex, 8 May 2022
  • “Before the madness of war, please, let us continue to pray the Rosary for peace each day. And let us pray for the leaders of nations, so they might not lose the “pulse of the people” who want peace and who know well that weapons never achieve it, never.” @Pontifex, 8 May 2022
  • “We should not fear the crises of life and faith. Crises help us recognize that we need God and thus allow us to return to the Lord, to experience his love anew.” @Pontifex, 9 May 2022
  • “Dear #GrandparentsAndElderly, in our world, we are called to create a revolution of tenderness, to together free the world from the darkness of loneliness and the demon of war! Message” @Pontifex, 10 May 2022
