Papal Tweets

• “Prayer helps us maintain a lively faith. The oil of faith preserves it, turning our thoughts often toward the Lord. Looking at the image of the crucifix, fixing our eyes on Jesus, can help us a lot. This is a beautiful way to pray.” @Pontifex, 26 August 2022
• “A Cardinal loves the Church, always with that same spiritual fire, whether dealing with great questions or handling everyday problems, with the powerful of this world or those ordinary people who are great in God’s eyes.” @Pontifex, 27 August 2022
• “Today too, Jesus wants to bring this fire to the earth. He wants to light it anew on the shores of our daily lives. Jesus calls us by name; he looks us in the eye and he asks: Can I count on you? Kz Vatican” @Pontifex, 27 August 2022
• “Mercy is the experience of feeling welcomed, put back on our feet, strengthened, healed, encouraged. To be forgiven is to experience here and now that which comes closest to being resurrected.” @Pontifex, 28 August 2022
• “et us #PrayTogether for the people of Pakistan, hit by floods of disastrous proportions. Let us pray for the numerous victims, for the wounded and those forced from their homes, and that international solidarity might be prompt and generous.” @Pontifex, 28 August 2022

• “The Word of God for today invites us to become humble and meek. Beginning with our misery, humility makes us take our gaze off ourselves in order to turn it toward God.” @Pontifex, 28 August 2022

Papal Tweets

• “The witness of the elderly unites the generations of life. Same with the dimensions of time: past, present and future. The various ages of life are not separate worlds competing with each other. The alliance of the elderly and children will save the human family. #BlessingOfTime” @Pontifex, 17 August 2022

• “To love like Jesus means to serve & give our life. To serve means to put others’ interests first, to fight the cancer of indifference, to share the gifts God has given us. To give our life means to leave egoism behind, to make our lives a gift, spending ourselves for all in need.” @Pontifex, 19 August 2022
• “Without humility we cannot encounter God, we cannot experience salvation, and we cannot even encounter our neighbour, the brother and sister living near us.” @Pontifex, 20 August 2022

• “The mercy of God, who has made us brothers and sisters, calls us to be builders of harmony and peace.” @Pontifex, 22 August 2022
• “#Peace is primarily an attitude of the heart. It is born of justice, grows in fraternity, flourishes on gratuitousness. It inspires us to serve the truth.” @Pontifex, 23 August 2022
