Papal Tweets
- “#Lent is the “favourable time” to return to what is essential, to divest ourselves of all that weighs us down, to be reconciled with God, and to rekindle the fire of the Holy Spirit hidden beneath the ashes of our frail humanity.” @Pontifex, 23 February 2023
- “One year ago the absurd war against Ukraine began. Let us remain close to the tormented Ukrainian people, who continue to suffer, and let us ask ourselves: has everything possible been done to stop the war? Peace built on rubble will never be a true victory.” @Pontifex, 24 February 2023
- “During #Lent we are called to respond to God’s gift by accepting his word, which is “living and active” (Heb 4:12). Regular listening to the #WordOfGod makes us open and docile to his working and bears fruit in our lives.” @Pontifex, 25 February 2023
- “I renew my appeal to make dialogue prevail over hatred and vengeance in the Holy Land, and I pray to God for Palestinians and Israelis, that they may find the path to fraternity and peace, with the help of the international community.” @Pontifex, 26 February 2023
- “Let’s #PrayTogether for the people of Burkina Faso, so that the violence they have suffered does not make them lose faith in the path of democracy, justice and peace.” @Pontifex, 26 February 2023
- “Jesus teaches us to repel the attacks of the devil who, as his name says, wants to sow division in us, between us and God, between us and others. How do we repel him? Not by negotiating with him, but by opposing him in faith with the divine word. #GospelOfToday (Mt 4:1–11)” @Pontifex, 26 February 2023
- “Let’s #PrayTogether also for the victims of the shipwreck this morning, off the Calabrian coast, including many children, and for the other surviving migrants. I thank those who have brought relief and are providing shelter.” @Pontifex, 26 February 2023
