Papal Tweets
- “May we work together against human trafficking, walking with those who are destroyed by the violence of sexual and labour exploitation, as well as with migrants and displaced persons. May we courageously reaffirm the value of human dignity! #PrayAgainstTrafficking” @Pontifex, 8 February 2023
- “Let’s #PrayTogether for the peoples of Türkiye and Syria hard hit by the earthquakes that have caused thousands of deaths and injuries. I thank those who are working to provide relief, and I encourage everyone to offer their solidarity.” @Pontifex, 8 February 2023

- “Now is the time for compassion and for solidarity. We must put aside hatred, wars, and divisions that lead to self-destruction. Let us unite in our sorrow to help those who suffer in #Turkey and #Syria. May we build peace and fraternity in our world.” @Pontifex, 9 February 2023
- “We are all fragile and vulnerable. We all need that compassion which knows how to pause, come close, heal us, and raise us up.” @Pontifex, 10 February 2023
- “Today is the #WorldDayOfTheSick. Like the Good Samaritan, let us stop and care for people who are ill and suffering. May #OurLadyOfLourdes bless all the sick and those who care for them with love. @VaticanIHD” @Pontifex, 11 February 2023

https://t.co/AvGBBjPkrh Message” @Pontifex, 11 February 2023 - “Let’s #PrayTogether for all those who are suffering in #Nicaragua, for Bishop Álvarez of Matagalpa, whom I care about greatly, and for the people who have been deported. May the Lord open the hearts of political leaders and all citizens to the sincere search for peace.” @Pontifex, 12 February 2023
- “Let us continue to stay close, with prayer and concrete support, to the earthquake victims in #Syria and #Turkey. And let us not forget tormented Ukraine: may the Lord open ways of peace and give those responsible the courage to follow them. Let’s #PrayTogether” @Pontifex, 12 February 2023
- “God loves us first, freely, taking the first step towards us without us deserving it; and so we cannot celebrate his love without in our turn taking the first step towards reconciliation with those who have hurt us. #GospelOfToday” @Pontifex, 12 February 2023
- “In the #GospelOfToday Jesus shows that religious rules are only the beginning. Formal observance is satisfied with the bare minimum, whereas Jesus invites us to aspire to the maximum possible. True love is never satisfied: love goes beyond, one cannot do without.” @Pontifex, 12 February 2023
- “Where love becomes tangible, become closeness, becomes tenderness, becomes compassion, God is there.” @Pontifex, 13 February 2023
