  • “I address a special thought to the people of #SriLanka, especially the young. I urge everyone to maintain a peaceful approach, without giving in to violence. I appeal to all those with responsibility to listen to the aspirations of the people, respecting human and civil rights.” @Pontifex, 11 May 2022
  • “A long life – so the Bible teaches – is a blessing. The #ElderlyAndGrandparents are signs of the goodness of God who bestows life in abundance. Blessed is the house where an older person lives! Blessed is the family that honours its grandparents! #BlessingOfTime” @Pontifex, 11 May 2022
  • “Part of the vocation of grandparents is to support their sons and daughters in raising their children. The little ones learn the power of tenderness and respect for frailty: irreplaceable lessons that are easier to impart and receive with grandparents. #BlessingOfTime” @Pontifex, 11 May 2022
  • “Old people lose some sight, but their inner gaze becomes more penetrating. They become capable of seeing things that previously escaped them. The Lord does not give his talents only to the young and the strong. He has talents for everyone, made to fit each person. #BlessingOfTime” @Pontifex, 11 May 2022
  • “A better future can exist only if it is built by everyone for everyone. No one must be excluded! I dedicated my Message for the 108th World Day of Migrants and Refugees to this. #BuildingtheFutureTogether #WDMR2022 @M_RSection

  • “As tensions and wars increase in the world, may the new Saints inspire paths of dialogue, especially in the hearts and minds of those who hold positions of great responsibility and are called to be agents of #peace, not war.” @Pontifex, 15 May 2022
  • “Let us support the #family! Let us defend it from what compromises its beauty. Let us approach this mystery of love with discretion and tenderness. And let us commit ourselves to safeguarding its precious and delicate bonds that allow it to flourish make humanity more fraternal.” @Pontifex, 15 May 2022
