  • “The word of Jesus is a teaching that touches and shapes life, frees it from the dullness of evil, satisfies and infuses it with a joy that does not pass: it is the better part.

  • “Let us #PrayTogether for the people of Sri Lanka. I urge all parties to seek a peaceful solution to the current crisis that especially favors the poorest, resecting everyone’s rights.” @Pontifex, 17 July 2022
  • “I am near the suffering Ukrainian people. How is it possible not to understand that war only creates destruction and death, driving people apart, killing truth and dialogue? Let us #PrayTogether that negotiations might begin again.” @Pontifex, 17 July 2022
