- “Many children are forced into jobs that are inappropriate for their age, depriving them of their childhood and jeopardizing their integral development. I appeal to institutions to spare no effort to protect minors. #NoChildLabourDay” @Pontifex 12 June 2020
- “If we draw God’s mercy, forgiveness, and tenderness from the #HeartOfJesus, then our heart too will gradually become more patient, more generous, and more merciful.” @Pontifex 12 June 2020

- “The Lord knows that evil and sins do not define us; they are diseases, infections. And he comes to heal them with the Eucharist, which contains the antibodies to our negative memory. With Jesus, we can become immune to sadness.” @Pontifex 14 June 2020
- “The Lord, offering himself to us in the simplicity of bread,invites us not to waste our lives in chasing the myriad illusions that we think we cannot do without,yet that leave us empty within. The Eucharist satisfies our hunger for material things and kindles our desire to serve.” @Pontifex 14 June 2020
- “In the Eucharist, Jesus draws close to us. Let us not turn away from those around us, those who hunger for food and dignity, those without work, and those who struggle to carry on. Genuine closeness is needed, as are true bonds of solidarity. Homily” @Pontifex 14 June 2020

- “Our principle of unity is the Holy Spirit who reminds us that above all we are God’s beloved children. He comes to us, in our differences and difficulties to tell us that we have one Lord, Jesus, and one Father. For this reason we are brothers and sisters!” @Pontifex 15 June 2020
