Papal Tweets

• “Climate change can be faced with a renewed sense of shared responsibility for our world, and an effective solidarity based on justice, a sense of our common destiny and a recognition of the unity of our human family in God’s plan for the world. #Faiths4COP26” @Pontifex, 29 October 2021
• “When we pray, we never do so alone: even if we do not think about it, we are immersed in a majestic river of invocations that precedes us and proceeds after us. #Prayer #CommunionOfSaints” @Pontifex, 30 October 2021
• “The #WordOfGod must be repeated, made one’s own, safeguarded. It must reach every aspect of life, involve, as Jesus says in the #GospelOfTheDay, the entire heart, the entire soul, the entire mind, all of our strength (Mk 12:28). It must resound within us.” @Pontifex, 31 October 2021
• “Let us build cities that, while preserving their respective cultural and religious identity, are open to differences and know how to promote them in the spirit of human fraternity. #FratelliTutti #WorldCitiesDay” @Pontifex, 31 October 2021
• “This is a moment to dream big, to rethink our priorities – what we value, what we want, what we seek – and re-plan our future, committing to act in our daily life on what we have dreamed of. The time to act, and to act together, is now! #COP26![img” @Pontifex, 31 October 2021
• “I am thinking about the population of Haiti who are living in extreme conditions. I ask that all leaders of nations help this country, not to leave it on its own. How much suffering, how much pain there is in that land. Let us #PrayTogether for Haiti, let us not abaondon them.” @Pontifex, 31 October 2021
• “Do not be afraid to set your sights higher, to allow yourself to be loved and liberated by God. Do not be afraid to let yourself be guided by the Holy Spirit. Holiness does not make you less human, since it is an encounter between your weakness and the power of God’s grace” @Pontifex, 1 November 2021
• “Do not be afraid of holiness. It will take away none of your energy, vitality or joy. On the contrary, you will become what the Father had in mind when he created you, and you will be faithful to your deepest self. #UniversalSanctification” @Pontifex, 1 November 2021
• “Blessed be Jesus Christ, the only Saviour of the world, together with this immense flowering of saintly men and women who populate the earth and who have made their life a hymn to God. #AllSaintsDay” @Pontifex, 1 November 2021
• “The saints, who often count for little in the eyes of the world, are in reality the ones who sustain it, not with the weapons of money and power, but with the weapon of #prayer. #AllSaintsDay” @Pontifex, 1 November 2021
• “There is a mysterious solidarity in Christ between those who have already passed to the other life and we pilgrims in this one. Our deceased loved ones continue to take care of us from Heaven. They pray for us, and we pray for them and we pray with them. #Prayer #FaithfulDeparted” @Pontifex, 2 November 2021
• ““To you who pass by, think about your footsteps and your final step”: that it be peaceful. These tombs are a message of peace: “Stop, brother and sister, stop! Stop, weapons makers, stop!”” @Pontifex, 2 November 2021
• “There is no time to wait. Unfortunately, there are too many people suffering from the environmental crisis. Urgent and courageous action is needed along with the responsible preparation of a future in which humanity will be capable of taking care of itself and nature. #COP26![img” @Pontifex, 2 November 2021
• “When we are tempted to judge others badly, we must rather reflect on our own weakness. It is good to ask ourselves what drives us to correct a brother or a sister, and if we are not in some way co-responsible for their mistake. #GeneralAudience” @Pontifex, 3 November 2021
• “Love is the supreme rule for following the path of Christ, it makes us aware of our weakness, and merciful and in solidarity with the difficulties and weaknesses of others. #GeneralAudience” @Pontifex, 3 November 2021
