Papal Tweets
- “We are about to begin a synodal process ”Towards a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation, Mission“. This process was conceived as an exercise in mutual listening involving the entire People of God. #Synod” @Pontifex, 8 October 2021
- “If peoples are to remain brothers and sisters, prayer must rise unceasingly to Heaven, and one single word constantly echo on earth: peace. #FraternityForFuture Speech” @Pontifex, 8 October 2021
- “We undertake the journey to cultivate peace in God’s name aware that we are brothers and sisters. Even though some foment division and conflict, we believe in the importance of journeying together for peace: with one another, never again against one another. #FraternityForFuture” @Pontifex, 8 October 2021
- “The Synod offers us the opportunity to become a Church of closeness, that does not stand aloof from life, but immerses herself in today’s problems and needs, bandaging wounds and healing broken hearts with the balm of God. #ListeningChurch” @Pontifex, 9 October 2021
- “Synodality is an expression of the Church’s style. The word “synod” says it all: it means “journeying together”. And the movement is the fruit of docility to the Holy Spirit, who directs this history, in which all have a part to play. #Synod” @Pontifex, 9 October 2021
- “Let us experience this moment of encounter, listening and reflection as a season of grace that offers us the opportunity of becoming a synodal Church: an open square where all can feel at home and participate. #Synod #ListeningChurch” @Pontifex, 9 October 2021
- “The Synod offers us the opportunity to become a listening Church, to break out of our routine and pause from our pastoral concerns in order to stop and listen. #ListeningChurch” @Pontifex, 9 October 2021
- “Dear brothers and sisters, may this Synod be a true season of the Spirit! For we need the Spirit, the ever new breath of God, who sets us free from every form of self-absorption, revives what is moribund, loosens shackles and spreads joy. #ListeningChurch” @Pontifex, 9 October 2021
- “In the #GospelOfTheDay, Jesus listens with his heart and not just with his ears. He does more than simply answer the rich man’s question but lets him tell his story, to speak freely about himself. #Synod #ListeningChurch” @Pontifex, 10 October 2021
- “In this #Synod, we too are called to become experts in the art of encounter by taking time to encounter the Lord and one another, to listen to what the Spirit wants to say to the Church. #ListeningChurch” @Pontifex, 10 October 2021
- “The experience of encounter changes us and it frequently suggests new ways we never thought of taking. This is how God so often points out new paths. Everything changes once we are capable of genuine encounters with Him and with one another. #Synod #ListeningChurch” @Pontifex, 10 October 2021
- “Celebrating a #Synod means walking on the same road, together. Let us look at Jesus in the #GospelOfTheDay who first encounters the rich man on the road; then he listens to his questions, and finally he helps him discern what he must do to inherit eternal life. #ListeningChurch” @Pontifex, 10 October 2021
- “True encounter arises only from listening. #Synod #ListeningChurch Homily” @Pontifex, 10 October 2021
- “Let us invoke the Holy Spirit with greater fervour and frequency, and humbly listen to him, journeying together as He, the source of communion and mission, desires: with docility and courage. #Synod #ListeningChurch” @Pontifex, 11 October 2021
- “Participating in a #Synod means taking the same path as the Word made flesh: following in his footsteps, listening to his word and the words of others, discovering with amazement that the Holy Spirit always surprises us with fresh paths and new ways of speaking.” @Pontifex, 12 October 2021
- “Today we remember the final apparition of #OurLadyOfFatima. I entrust you all to the heavenly Mother of God. May she accompany you on your way and be of comfort in the trials of life.” @Pontifex, 13 October 2021
- “The Lord has liberated us from slavery freely, and set us on the path to walk in the fullness of freedom. #GeneralAudience” @Pontifex, 13 October 2021
