• “It’s important to safeguard the roots of life and faith.

• “On the Feast when God became a child, let‘s think of the Ukrainian children suffering so much because of this war.

• “God became a Child and then let himself be nailed on a cross. In that weakness, God’s omnipotence is manifested. In forgiveness, God’s omnipotence is always at work. Thus, may our gifts this #Christmas be gratitude, conversion and peace.
  Speech” @Pontifex, 22 December 2022
• “Let us ask Mary, the Virgin of Sweet Expectation, to teach us how to ”watch and pray“ so we do not get distracted in our following of her Son, and to discover His saving presence in the events of our daily lives. #Advent” @Pontifex, 23 December 2022

• “In the #GospelOfTheDay, John the Baptist is no longer able to recognize in Jesus the awaited Messiah, and he sends the disciples to check. Even the greatest believer goes through the tunnel of doubt. This is not a bad thing, and sometimes it is essential for spiritual growth.” @Pontifex, 11 December 2022
• “This is a difficult time for humanity, but it is also a propitious time of salvation, in which the Lord, through the Virgin Mary, continues to give us His Son, who calls us to fraternity, to set aside selfishness, indifference and enmity, and to get involved with each other.” @Pontifex, 12 December 2022

• “Jesus, naked on the cross, removes every veil from God and destroys every false image of His kingship. Let us look upon Him to find the courage to make ourselves servants, so as to reign with Him. #ChristTheKing g Vatican” @Pontifex, 20 November 2022
• “We are living a famine of peace in our time. Let’s think of how many places in the world are scourged by war, in particular of war-torn Ukraine. Let us roll up our sleeves and continue to pray for #peace!” @Pontifex, 20 November 2022
• “Let us also pray for the families of the victims of the serious fire in a refugee camp in Gaza, in Palestine, where several children also died. May the Lord welcome into heaven those who lost their lives and console those people who have suffered years of conflict.” @Pontifex, 20 November 2022
• ““Mary arose and went with haste” (Lk 1:39) is the theme of this #WorldYouthDay. Aiming for the heights, getting on the move, leaving behind our own fears to take someone in need by the hand, is the secret to remaining young. #AriseandGo @laityfamilylife” @Pontifex, 20 November 2022
• “In the #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 23:35–43), the good thief calls Jesus by name, he confesses his faults, he begs: ”Jesus, remember me“. In this way, a criminal becomes the first saint: he draws near to Jesus for an instant and the Lord keeps him forever at his side.” @Pontifex, 20 November 2022
• “Through prayerful silence and hidden sacrifice, contemplative monasteries maternally sustain the life of the Church. #ProOrantibus” @Pontifex, 21 November 2022
• “Each time we join our hands and open our hearts to God, we find ourselves in the company of anonymous saints and official saints who pray with us and intercede for us as older brothers and sisters who have preceded us on this same human adventure. #Prayer” @Pontifex, 22 November 2022
• “Spiritual consolation is an experience of interior joy that allows us to see God’s presence in everything. It strengthens faith, hope, and the ability of doing good; it helps us never give up in the face of difficulties because it gives us a peace that is stronger than any trial.” @Pontifex, 23 November 2022
• “In the past few hours, the island of #Java in Indonesia was hit by a strong #earthquake. I express my nearness to that dear population and I pray for the dead and the injured.” @Pontifex, 23 November 2022
• “I would like to send my greetings to the athletes, fans and spectators following the football #WorldCup taking place in Qatar. May this important event be an occasion for encounter, fostering fraternity and peace among peoples. #Qatar2022” @Pontifex, 23 November 2022
• “Let us #PrayTogether for #peace in the world, with a special thought for the people of Ukraine. This Saturday is the anniversary of the terrible #Holodomor genocide. Let us pray for the children, the women and the elderly, who are today suffering the martyrdom of the aggression.” @Pontifex, 23 November 2022

Papal Tweets

• “Each and every person is needed in order for the journey of fraternity and peace to progress. Let us all hear the call to expand our horizons to open our hearts because we are all brothers and sisters.” @Pontifex, 9 November 2022
• “I renew my invitation to pray for war-torn #Ukraine. Let us ask the Lord for peace for these people who are suffering so much cruelty on the part of some mercenaries making war. Let us #PrayTogether” @Pontifex, 9 November 2022
• “Saints do not come from a “parallel universe”. They are believers rooted in their daily activities with their families, study, work; social, economic and political life. In all these settings, they fearlessly strive to carry out God’s will.” @Pontifex, 10 November 2022
• “A saint is a luminous reflection of the Lord of history. The path of holiness is universal. It is a call directed toward each of us that begins with Baptism and is unique and unrepeatable for each person.” @Pontifex, 11 November 2022
• “The poor guarantee us an eternal ”income“. They are already helping us to become rich in love. For the worst kind of poverty to combat is the poverty of our love.” @Pontifex, 12 November 2022
• “On this #WorldDayOfThePoor, God’s word is a forceful admonition to break through that inner deafness that prevents us from listening to the stifled cry of pain of the frailest. #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 21:5–19)
  Uf Event” @Pontifex, 13 November 2022
• “Let us not be content, like the people in the #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 21:5–19), to admire the beautiful stones of the temple, while failing to recognize God’s true temple, the human person, especially the poor, in whose face, in whose wounds, we encounter Jesus. #WorldDayOfThePoor” @Pontifex, 13 November 2022
• “Let us always remain close to our brothers and sisters in martyred Ukraine. Close in prayer and with concrete solidarity. Peace is possible! Let us not resign ourselves to war.” @Pontifex, 13 November 2022
• “On the first anniversary of the launch of the #LaudatoSi’ Platform for Action, which promotes ecological conversion, I encourage this mission, crucial for the future of humanity, so that it may foster in everyone a genuine commitment to the care of creation.” @Pontifex, 14 November 2022
• “I would like to recall the #COP27 Summit on Climate Change, which is taking place in Egypt. I hope that steps forward will be made, with courage and determination, in the wake of the Paris Agreement.” @Pontifex, 14 November 2022
• “Goodness is hidden, silent; it requires slow and continuous excavation. Because God’s style is discreet. He does not impose himself. He is like the air we breathe – we don’t see it but it allows us to live, and we realize it only when it’s missing.” @Pontifex, 15 November 2022
