• “Let us #PrayTogether for the gift of peace for the beloved land of Myanmar: so that the hands of those who live there no longer need to wipe away tears of pain and death, but instead join together to overcome difficulties and work together to bring peace.” @Pontifex, 3 October 2021
• “The #GospelOfTheDay (Mk 10:2–16) says that Jesus is very tender with the little ones.

• “The example of #SaintVincentDePaul encourages us to make time and space for the poor, and to make their worries and troubles our own, because a Christianity without contact with those who suffer becomes disembodied, incapable of touching the flesh of Christ.” @Pontifex, 27 September 2021

• “Dear young people, I would like to thank you for your dreams and good projects, and for the fact that you are as concerned about human relations as you are about caring for the environment. Thank you. It is a concern that is good for everyone. #Youth4Climate” @Pontifex, 29 September 2021

• “In the #GospelOfTheDay (Mk 9:20–37), the Lord overturns the criteria about what truly matters: greatness and success in God’s eyes are measured by service. Not on what someone has, but on what someone gives. Do you want to be first? Serve.” @Pontifex, 19 September 2021
• “Witnesses do not lose themselves in words, but rather they bear fruit. They do not complain about others and the world, but start with themselves. They remind us that God is not to be proven, but shown; not announced with proclamations but witnessed by example.” @Pontifex, 20 September 2021
• “Saints are witnesses whom we venerate and who in thousands of different ways bring us to Jesus Christ, the only Lord and Mediator between God and humanity. They remind us that holiness can blossom even in our lives, however weak and marked by sin. #SaintMatthew” @Pontifex, 21 September 2021
