Papal Tweets
- “May the protection of minors be more and more a concrete, ordinary priority within the Church’s educational works. May it be the promotion of an open, trustworthy and reliable service, in strict contrast to every form of domination, betrayal of intimacy or silent complicity.” @Pontifex, 4 November 2021
- “Being a member of the people of God is a gift, a responsibility: the responsibility of witnessing by our deeds, not just our words, to God’s wonderful works, which, once known, help people to acknowledge his existence and to receive his salvation. #Synod” @Pontifex, 5 November 2021
- “Contemplating the Heart of Christ, we can allow ourselves to be guided by three words: memory, passion and comfort.” @Pontifex, 5 November 2021
- “Memory. To remember means ”to return with the heart“. It is good for us to nurture our memory with those who have loved us, taken care of us, lifted us up. The Heard of Jesus reminds us that whatever happens to us in life, we are loved.” @Pontifex, 5 November 2021
- “Passion. The Heart of Christ is an impassioned heart, wounded by love, torn open for us on the cross. That tenderness and suffering, that Heart reveals what God’s passion is: man.” @Pontifex, 5 November 2021
- “Consolation is a strength that does not come from ourselves, but from the One who is with us: Jesus, the God-with-us. Let us encourage ourselves with this certainty, with God’s consolation. And let us as the Sacred Heart for the grace of being able to console when it is our turn.” @Pontifex, 5 November 2021
- “Let us care for our common home, and also for ourselves, trying to eliminate the seeds of conflict: greed, indifference, ignorance, fear, injustice, insecurity and violence. Humanity has never before had at its disposal so many means for achieving this goal #COP26
