  • “Holy women and men do not have easier lives than others. On the contrary, they are often objects of opposition. But through #prayer, they nourish the flame of their faith, as oil used to do for lamps. And thus, they move ahead walking in faith and hope.” @Pontifex, 30 June 2023
  • “This is Christian prophecy: responding to evil with good, to hatred with love, to division with reconciliation. Faith transforms reality from within.” @Pontifex, 1 July 2023
  • “A prophet is a living sign who points God out to others, a reflection of Christ’s light on the path of the brothers and sisters, someone who helps others read the present under the action of the Holy Spirit, to understand God’s plans and correspond to them. #Angelus” @Pontifex, 2 July 2023
  • “Let us #PrayTogether that Catholics place at the centre of their lives the Eucharistic Celebration, which transforms human relationships and opens up an encounter with God and their brothers and sisters. #PrayerIntention #ClickToPray CHDRoym Video” @Pontifex, 3 July 2023

  • “One of the things that draws art closer to faith is the fact that both tend to be troubling. Neither art nor faith can leave things simply as they are: they change, transform, move and convert them.” @Pontifex, 23 June 2023
  • “Artists remind us that the dimension in which we move, even unconsciously, is always that of the Spirit. The art is like a sail swelling with the wind of the Spirit and propelling us forward.” @Pontifex, 23 June 2023
  • “The secret of the lives of the #saints is their familiarity and confidence with God, which grew within them and made it easier for them to recognize what was pleasing to Him. This familiarity overcomes the fear or the doubt that His will is not for our good.” @Pontifex, 24 June 2023
  • “I am very saddened by what happened a few days ago in the women’s Penitentiary Centre in Honduras. I pray for the deceased and for their families. May the Virgin of Suyapa, Mother of Honduras, help hearts to open themselves to reconciliation and brotherhood even within prisons.” @Pontifex, 25 June 2023
  • “The cost to remain faithful to what counts is going against the tide, being separated from those who “follow the current”. But it doesn’t matter, Jesus says. What matters is not to throw away the greatest good: life. This is the only thing that should frighten us. #GospelOfTheDay” @Pontifex, 25 June 2023
  • “Let us put a stop to the horror of torture! It is essential that the international community put the dignity of the person above all else and dedicate itself without delay to abolish torture and provide support to the victims.” @Pontifex, 26 June 2023
  • “God looks with joy upon all those who serve the needy. This is how goodness grows: in the simplicity of hands and hearts stretched out to others and in the courage of the small steps that approach those who are most vulnerable in the name of Jesus.” @Pontifex, 27 June 2023
  • “Education does not consist in filling heads with ideas, but in accompanying and encouraging students on a journey of human and spiritual growth, showing them how friendship with the Risen Jesus enlarges the heart and makes life more human. #GeneralAudience” @Pontifex, 28 June 2023
  • “It is only by following the Lord that we come to know him each day, only by becoming his disciples and listening to his words that we become his friends and experience his transforming love.#StsPeterandPaul
    i Homily” @Pontifex, 29 June 2023
