  • “As we approach the end of our lives, the essentials of life that we hold most dear become definitively clear to us. Our whole life appears like a seed that will have to be buried so that its flower and its fruit can be born.” @Pontifex, 24 August 2022

  • “Peace is not often achieved by famous people, but by the daily determination of ordinary men and women.” @Pontifex, 25 August 2022
  • “Prayer helps us maintain a lively faith. The oil of faith preserves it, turning our thoughts often toward the Lord. Looking at the image of the crucifix, fixing our eyes on Jesus, can help us a lot. This is a beautiful way to pray.” @Pontifex, 26 August 2022
  • “A Cardinal loves the Church, always with that same spiritual fire, whether dealing with great questions or handling everyday problems, with the powerful of this world or those ordinary people who are great in God’s eyes.” @Pontifex, 27 August 2022
  • “Today too, Jesus wants to bring this fire to the earth. He wants to light it anew on the shores of our daily lives. Jesus calls us by name; he looks us in the eye and he asks: Can I count on you? Kz Vatican@Pontifex, 27 August 2022
  • “Mercy is the experience of feeling welcomed, put back on our feet, strengthened, healed, encouraged. To be forgiven is to experience here and now that which comes closest to being resurrected.” @Pontifex, 28 August 2022
  • “et us #PrayTogether for the people of Pakistan, hit by floods of disastrous proportions. Let us pray for the numerous victims, for the wounded and those forced from their homes, and that international solidarity might be prompt and generous.” @Pontifex, 28 August 2022
  • “Let us #PrayTogether for the people of Ukraine and for all those who suffer because of war. May the God of #peace revive a human and Christian sense of pity and mercy in the hearts of the leaders of nations.” @Pontifex, 28 August 2022
  • “Celestine V was a courageous witness of the Gospel. In him, we admire a Church free from worldly logic, witnessing completely to that name of God which is Mercy.” @Pontifex, 28 August 2022
  • “The Word of God for today invites us to become humble and meek. Beginning with our misery, humility makes us take our gaze off ourselves in order to turn it toward God.” @Pontifex, 28 August 2022
  • “To renew our faith and our common mission, we are called to rediscover the core of the faith: our relationship with Jesus and the preaching of his Gospel to the whole world. This is essential!” @Pontifex, 29 August 2022
  • “Dear brothers and sisters, a minister of the Church is someone who experiences wonder before God’s plan and, in that spirit, passionately loves the Church, ready to be at the service of her mission wherever and however the Holy Spirit may choose.” @Pontifex, 30 August 2022
