Papal Tweets

• “Faith was passed down from generation to generation through life, through witnesses who brought the flame of the Gospel, the joy of the saving love of Jesus, and the hope of his promise. Faith grows through witness.” @Pontifex, 27 April 2023
• “We are called to be open to the times in which we live, with their changes and challenges. We are called to sow the seeds of the Gospel, to prune the dead branches of evil and to bear fruit. #ApostolicJourney” @Pontifex, 28 April 2023
• “St. Stephen of #Hungary was an intrepid evangelizer who listened and dialogued with everyone, and cared for the poor. This is the Church we dream of: a Church able to listen, dialogue and care for the most vulnerable; a welcoming Church that courageously brings the Gospel to all.” @Pontifex, 28 April 2023
• “Those who profess to be Christian are called to bear witness and walk with everyone to cultivate a humanism inspired by the Gospel which moves along two fundamental tracks: acknowledging that we are beloved children of the Father, and loving one another as brothers and sisters.” @Pontifex, 28 April 2023
• “#Peace will never come by pursuing individual strategic interests, but only from policies capable of looking to the bigger picture and the development of all: policies attentive to individuals, the poor and the future, and not merely to power, profit and the present.” @Pontifex, 28 April 2023
• “Those who “bind themselves to God”, as did Sts Francis of Assisi and Elizabeth of #Hungary did, become charitable to the poor. For “he who does not love his brother whom sees, cannot love God whom he has not seen” (1 Jn 4:20). #ApostolicJourney Speech” @Pontifex, 29 April 2023
• “I encourage you to speak the language of #charity always. Whenever you strive to bring bread to the hungry, the Lord makes joy blossom and your lives are fragrant with the love you give. #ApostolicJourney #Hungary” @Pontifex, 29 April 2023
• “When you pray, don’t be afraid to bring everything going on inside you to Jesus: emotions, fears, problems, expectations, memories, hopes. Prayer is dialogue. Prayer is life. #ApostolicJourney #Hungary” @Pontifex, 29 April 2023
• “Each of us is precious to Jesus. Remember that no one can take your place in the history of the Church and the world. No one else can do what only you can do.

• “I thank the beloved Hungarian people for their welcome and the affection I have experienced in these days. I entrust all Hungarians to Our Lady. Grateful for these days, I keep you in my heart and ask you to pray for me. Isten áld meg a magyart!” @Pontifex, 30 April 2023
• “Self-knowledge means to be able to recognize our limitations and to curb the presumption of self-sufficiency. This proves beneficial because,once we realize that we are creatures, we become creative. We learn to immerse ourselves in the world instead of attempting to dominate it.” @Pontifex, 30 April 2023
• “In our words, deeds and daily activities, let’s try to be like Jesus: an open door that never shuts in anyone’s face, a door that allows everyone to enter and experience the beauty of the Lord’s love and forgiveness. #ApostolicJourney” @Pontifex, 30 April 2023
• “Queen of Peace, instil in the hearts of peoples and their leaders the desire to build peace and to give the younger generations a future of hope, not war, a future full of cradles not tombs, a world of brothers and sisters, not walls and barricades. https://t.co/wpzoNWCCLg Image” @Pontifex, 30 April 2023
• “How sad and painful it is to see closed doors: the closed doors of our selfishness, of our indifference towards those who are suffering, towards those who are foreigners, different, the migrant, the poor. Let’s open those doors, please! PyPj Homily” @Pontifex, 30 April 2023
• “The gift of vocation is like a divine seed that springs up in the soil of our lives, opens our hearts to God and to others, so that we can share the treasure we have found. God calls us in love and we, in gratitude, respond to Him in love. #Vocations xMakr Message” @Pontifex, 30 April 2023
• “Jesus the Good Shepherd calls us by name and takes care of us with infinite tenderness. He is the door, and the one who enters through Him has eternal life. He is our future, a future of “life in abundance” (Jn 10:10). Therefore, let us never get discouraged. #ApostolicJourney” @Pontifex, 30 April 2023
