• “So often today man does not know what is within him, in the depths of his mind and heart…. Therefore, let Christ speak to man. He alone has words of life, of eternal life. #StJohnPaulII” @Pontifex 22 October 2020
• “St #JohnPaulII and his passion for life and fascination with the mystery of God, of the world and of humankind was an extraordinary gift of God to the Church. Let us remember his faith: may it be an example to lives as witnesses today.” @Pontifex 22 October 2020
• “Life without fraternal gratuitousness becomes a form of frenetic commerce, constantly weighing what we give and what we get back. God, instead, gives freely, helping even those who are unfaithful; he “makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good” (Mt 5:45). #FratelliTutti” @Pontifex 23 October 2020
• “If we want true integral human development for all, war must be avoided, ensuring the rule of law and tireless recourse to negotiation and arbitration. The United Nation ’s Charter applies transparently and sincerely, and is an reference point of justice and a peace. #UNDay” @Pontifex 24 October 2020
• “What is not expressed in love of neighbour is not true love of God; and, likewise, what is not drawn from one’s relationship with God is not true love of neighbour. #GospelOfTheDay (Mt 22:34–40)” @Pontifex 25 October 2020
• “Let us pray to the Lord for Nigeria, so that every form of violence might always be avoided, in the constant search of social harmony through the promotion of justice and the common good.” @Pontifex 25 October 2020
• “Kindness frees us from the cruelty that at times infects human relationships, from the anxiety that prevents us from thinking of others, from the frantic flurry of activity that forgets that others also have a right to be happy. #FratelliTutti” @Pontifex 26 October 2020
• “Those who love may be sure that none of their acts of love will be lost, nor any of their acts of sincere concern for others, nor any single act of love for God, nor any generous effort, nor any painful endurance. All of these enfold our world like a vital force. #FratelliTutti” @Pontifex 27 October 2020
• ““You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased” (Lk 3:22). This simple phrase enables us to intuit something of the mystery of Jesus and of His heart, always turned to the Father. Jesus gave us His own #Prayer, which is His loving dialogue with the Father. #GeneralAudience” @Pontifex 28 October 2020
• “I unite myself to the pain of the families of the students barbarically killed in #Kumba, #Cameroon. May God enlighten hearts, so that similar acts may never be repeated! I send my affection to the families and all Cameroon, and I invoke the comfort that only God can give.” @Pontifex 28 October 2020

Papal Tweets

• “Today we recall Saint #TeresaOfJesus, master of #prayer. She teaches us that prayer is an expression of friendship with God who always loves us. With God nothing can disturb or frighten us, because ”God alone suffices.”” @Pontifex 15 October 2020
• “It is time to subscribe to a global pact on education for and with future generations. This requires commitment from families, communities, schools, universities, institutions, religions, governments, and the human family to train mature men and women. #GlobalCompactOnEducation” @Pontifex 15 October 2020
• “Education bears within itself a seed of hope: the hope of peace and justice; the hope of beauty and goodness; the hope of social harmony. #GlobalCompactOnEducation Message” @Pontifex 15 October 2020
• “Hunger is not only a tragedy for humanity, it is shameful. Faced with this reality, we cannot remain insensitive or paralyzed. We are all responsible. #WorldHungerDay” @Pontifex 16 October 2020
• “A courageous decision? Using the money spent on weapons for a “global Fund” to defeat hunger. This would help avoid many wars and the emigration of many of our brothers and sisters from the poorest nations.” @Pontifex 16 October 2020
• “We need to develop the awareness that nowadays we are either all saved together or no one is saved. #Poverty, decadence and suffering in one part of the earth are a breeding ground for problems that will end up affecting the entire planet. #FratelliTutti #EndPoverty” @Pontifex 17 October 2020
• “Today and tomorrow, one million children around the world pray the Rosary. May we confidently recite the #Rosary every day. It is a weapon that protects us from evil and temptation. #ChildrenPraying” @Pontifex 18 October 2020
• “The mission, the ‘Church on the move’, is not a programme to be carried out by sheer force of will. It is Christ who makes the Church go out of herself. In the mission of evangelization, you move because the Holy Spirit pushes you, and carries you. #WorldMissionDay” @Pontifex 18 October 2020
• “Belonging to Christ, and the resulting way of life, do not isolate the believer from the world, but rather make him or her the protagonist in a service of love for the common good.” @Pontifex 18 October 2020
• “I invite you again to take the #Rosary and lift up your gaze to Our Lady, sign of consolation and sure hope. One million children around the world are doing this today, as they pray for unity and peace. #ChildrenPraying” @Pontifex 19 October 2020
• “Our present gathering represents an incentive to religious leaders and to all believers to pray fervently for peace, never resigned to war, but working with the gentle strength of faith to end conflicts. #Peaceandfraternity YouTube” @Pontifex 20 October 2020
• “The “gospel” of save yourself is not the Gospel of salvation. It is the falsest of the apocryphal gospels, making others carry the cross. Whereas the true Gospel bids us take up the cross of others. #Peaceandfraternity” @Pontifex 20 October 2020
• ““Enough!” says Jesus (Lk 22:38), when his disciples produce two swords before the Passion. “Enough!” That single word of Jesus echoes through the centuries and reaches us forcefully in our own time: enough of swords, weapons, violence and war!” @Pontifex 20 October 2020
• “To all believers, and to men and women of good will, we say: let us become creative artisans of peace, let us build social friendship, let us make our own the culture of dialogue. #Peaceandfraternity Homily” @Pontifex 20 October 2020
• “Prayer is the centre of life. If there is prayer, even a brother, a sister, becomes important. Those who adore God, love His children. Those who respect God, respect human beings. #GeneralAudience” @Pontifex 21 October 2020
