• “Reconciliation is not merely the result of our own efforts. It is a gift that flows from the crucified Lord. It is a peace that radiates from the Heart of Jesus, a grace that must be sought. #IndigenousPeoples #Canada” @Pontifex, 25 July 2022
• “Dear #IndigenousPeoples of #Canada, I have come to your native lands to tell you in person of my sorrow, to implore God’s forgiveness, healing and reconciliation, to express my closeness and to pray with you and for you.” @Pontifex, 25 July 2022

• “Let us pray for and in union with our forebears. Let us dedicate time to remember and keep their legacy. In the fog of forgetfulness overshadowing our times, it is essential to cultivate our roots. This is how the future is built. #GrandparentsAndElderly” @Pontifex, 26 July 2022
• “We have received so much from those who have gone before us. What do we want to bequeath to those who come after us? “Rose water” or a living faith? A society founded on personal profit or on fraternity? A world at war or at peace? A devastated creation or a welcoming home?” @Pontifex, 26 July 2022
