Papal Tweets
- “How important it is to learn to be a friendly and outstretched hand! Try to grow in friendship even with those who think differently than you, so that solidarity might grow among you and become the best weapon to change the course of history.” @Pontifex 28 November 2019
- “The Church exists to keep alive in people’s heart the memory that God loves them. It exists to tell everyone, even those furthest away: “God doesn’t forget you, He cares about you”.” @Pontifex 30 November 2019
- “In the #GospelOfTheDay, Jesus exhorts us to be ready for His coming: ”Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming“ (Mt 24:42). To watch means to have your heart ready to give and to serve, to be attentive to our neighbour in difficulty.” @Pontifex 1 December 2019
- “The word #Advent means coming. The Lord is coming. This is the root of our hope: the certainty that God’s consolation comes to us amidst the troubles of the world. Not a consolation of words, but of His presence among us.” @Pontifex 1 December 2019
- “With this Letter, I wish to encourage the beautiful family tradition of preparing the nativity scene in the days before Christmas, but also the custom of setting it up in the workplace, in schools, hospitals, prisons and town squares. http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/apost_letters/documents/papa-francesco-lettera-ap_20191201_admirabile-signum.html” @Pontifex 1 December 2019
- “The closeness to the Lord invites our heart to approach our brothers and sisters with love, to show compassion towards everyone.” @Pontifex 2 December 2019
- “Today we renew our commitment so that every disabled person may share their gifts with the community to which they belong and in which they take part. #IDPD” @Pontifex 3 December 2019
- “Today the Church praises smallness. God’s works begin by sprouting from a seed, from little things. Jesus speaks about this smallness of the Kingdom: the small heart, humble, that is open to the revelation of the Lord. #HomilySantaMarta” @Pontifex 3 December 2019
- “Let us pray for all the pastors of the Church, that they might guide the flock entrusted to them with the same firmness and tenderness of the Good Shepherd. #GeneralAudience” @Pontifex 4 December 2019
