  • “My #ApostolicJourney to #Canada was a penitential pilgrimage. Together we remembered the good memory of the thousands of years of history of these peoples, in harmony with their land and the painful memory of the abuse they suffered.” @Pontifex, 3 August 2022
  • “The second step of our journey was reconciliation, and the third, healing, drawing from Christ, the spring of living water. There, in Jesus, we saw the proximity of the Father who heals wounds and also forgives sins.” @Pontifex, 3 August 2022
  • “May the fortitude and peaceful action of the indigenous peoples of #Canada be an example for all indigenous peoples not to close in on themselves, but to offer their contribution for a more fraternal humanity that knows how to love creation and the Creator.” @Pontifex, 3 August 2022
  • “I hope that #Lebanon, with the help of the international community, may continue on the path of rebirth, remaining faithful to its vocation to be a land of peace and pluralism, where communities of different religions can live in fraternity.” @Pontifex, 4 August 2022
  • “Jesus, the Good Shepherd, cares for us because he truly loves us. We, the Church’s pastors, are asked to show that same generosity in tending the flock, so as to manifest Jesus’ concern for everyone and his compassion for each person’s wounds. #CureOfArs” @Pontifex, 4 August 2022
  • “To give hope to others, sometimes it is simply enough to be kind, to put aside your own worries and priorities in order to show interest, give the gift of a smile, speak an encouraging word, create a space for listening amid so much indifference.” @Pontifex, 5 August 2022
  • “Being disciples of Jesus and progressing along the path of #holiness means first and foremost letting ourselves be transfigured by the power of God’s love.” @Pontifex, 6 August 2022
  • “The departure of the first ships loaded with grain from the ports of Ukraine is a sign of hope. I sincerely hope that, following in this direction, there might be an end to combat and that a just and lasting peace might be reached.” @Pontifex, 7 August 2022
  • “Brothers and sisters, let us walk without fear, in the certainty that the Lord accompanies us always. And let us stay awake lest we be asleep when the Lord passes by. #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 12:32)” @Pontifex, 7 August 2022
  • “Reviving a dialogue happens not with words, but witth silence; not by insisting, but by patiently beginning anew to patiently listen to another person, hearing about their struggles and what they carry inside. The healing of the heart begins with listening.” @Pontifex, 8 August 2022
  • “How precious is that profoundly genuine sense of family and community among #IndigenousPeoples! And how important it is to cultivate properly the bond between young and old, and to maintain a healthy and harmonious relationship with all of creation!” @Pontifex, 9 August 2022
