Papal Tweets

• “Ecumenical hospitality requires a willingness to listen to other Christians, paying attention to their personal stories of faith and to the history of their community.” @Pontifex 23 January 2020
• “This year I want to dedicate World Communications Day to the theme of storytelling. In order not to get lost, we must make the truth of good stories our own. Stories that build up and help us find our roots and the strength to move forward together. http://vatican.va/content/francesco/en/messages/communications/documents/papa-francesco_20200124_messaggio-comunicazioni-sociali.html” @Pontifex 24 January 2020
• “Envy and jealousy are seeds that generate war. Let us ask for the grace to have a transparent heart, like that of David, a transparent heart that seeks justice and peace. #SantaMarta” @Pontifex 25 January 2020
• “The Bible is the great love story between God and humanity. At its centre stands Jesus, whose own story brings to fulfilment both God’s love for us and our love for God.” @Pontifex 25 January 2020
• “We need God’s Word: so that we can hear, amid the thousands of other words in our daily lives, that one Word that speaks to us not about things, but about life. #SundayoftheWordofGod

• “Let us make room for the Word of God! Each day, let us read a verse or two of the Bible. We will discover that God is close to us, that He dispels our darkness and, with great love, leads our lives into deep waters. #SundayoftheWordofGod” @Pontifex 26 January 2020
• “God’s Word consoles and encourages us, it challenges us, frees us from the bondage of our selfishness and summons us to conversion; because it has the power to change our lives and to lead us out of darkness into the light. #SundayoftheWordofGod” @Pontifex 26 January 2020
• “If we lose our memory, we destroy our future. May the anniversary of the Holocaust, the unspeakable cruelty that humanity learned of 75 years ago, serve as a summons to pause, to be still and to remember. We need to do this, lest we become indifferent. #DayofMemory” @Pontifex 27 January 2020
• “The Gospel will not go forward with boring, bitter evangelizers. No. It will only go forward with joyful evangelizers, full of life. #HomilySantaMarta” @Pontifex 28 January 2020
• “The Beatitudes are the ”identity card“ of a Christian. They are not about the joy that passes, but about happiness that knows how to live side by side with suffering. #GeneralAudience” @Pontifex 29 January 2020

Papal Tweets

• “The Lord has so much compassion, He involves Himself in our problems. Let us often repeat this simple prayer: Lord, I am a sinner, have mercy on me, have compassion for me. #HomilySantaMarta” @Pontifex 16 January 2020
• “Jesus looks at the paralytic and focuses on what is essential: ”Your sins are forgiven“. Physical health is a gift that we must preserve but the Lord teaches us that we must also preserve the health of the heart, spiritual health. #HomilySantaMarta” @Pontifex 17 January 2020
• “Whoever has faith feels a great need for God and, in our own smallness, we surrender ourselves, trusting fully in Him.” @Pontifex 18 January 2020
• “Let us pause at #GospelofToday (John 1,29–34), perhaps even contemplating an icon of Christ, Son of God made lamb, to free us from evil. Yes, we are still poor sinners but not slaves, no, but children, children of God!” @Pontifex 19 January 2020
• “Being Christian does not mean defending yourself with an ideology in order to move forward. To be Christian is to be free, because we have confidence, because we are docile to the Word of the Lord. #HomilySantaMarta” @Pontifex 20 January 2020
• “Through Baptism, we Christians are all anointed by the election of the Lord, and this is a pure gift. Today let us ask the Holy Spirit to be able to preserve this gift with faithfulness. This is Christian holiness. #HomilySantaMarta” @Pontifex 21 January 2020
• “This year, the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is dedicated to the theme of hospitality. #GeneralAudience” @Pontifex 22 January 2020
• “Working together to practice hospitality, especially towards those whose lives are most vulnerable, will make us better human beings, better disciples, and a more united Christian people. #GeneralAudience” @Pontifex 22 January 2020
