Papal Tweets
- “If the young open themselves to gratitude for what they have received, and if the elderly take the initiative of relaunching their future, nothing can stop the flourishing of God’s blessings among peoples! #BlessingOfTime” @Pontifex, 27 April 2022
- “Working safely allows everyone to express the best of themselves while earning their daily bread. The more we take care of the dignity of work, the more certain we are that the quality and beauty of the work carried out will increase.” @Pontifex, 28 April 2022
- “A Christianity that seeks the Lord among the ruins of the past and encloses him in the tomb of habit is a Christianity without Easter.” @Pontifex, 29 April 2022
- “The joy of knowing we are loved by God, despite our infidelities, enables us to face the trials of life to emerge from them better. It is in living this joy that constitutes our being true witnesses, because joy is the distinctive sign of a Christian.” @Pontifex, 30 April 2022
- “Я задаюсь вопросом, действительно ли существует стремление к миру; есть ли желание избежать непрестанной военной и словесной эскалации; делается ли всё возможное, чтобы заставить замолчать оружие?” @Pontifex, 1 May 2022
- “I beg you, let us not surrender to the logic of violence, to the perverse spiral of weapons. May the path of dialogue and peace be taken! #PrayTogether” @Pontifex, 1 May 2022
- “Прошу вас, не підаваймося логіці насильства, спотвореній спіралі озброєнь. Нехай буде обрана дорога діалогу та миру! #МолімосяРазом” @Pontifex, 1 May 2022
- “Пожалуйста, не поддавайтесь логике насилия, извращённой спирали вооружений. Встанем на путь диалога и мира! #Молимсявместе” @Pontifex, 1 May 2022
- “I wonder if peace is truly being sought, whether there is the will to avoid a continued military and verbal escalation, whether everything possible is being done so to silence the weapons.” @Pontifex, 1 May 2022
- “Запитую себе, чи дійсно відбуваються пошуки миру; чи існує воля запобігати безперервній військовій і вербальній ескалації; чи робиться все можливе для того, щоби замовкла зброя.” @Pontifex, 1 May 2022
- “I suffer and weep thinking of the sufferings of the Ukrainian people, and, in particular, the weakest, the elderly and the children.” @Pontifex, 1 May 2022

- “Every day of May, let us #PrayTogether the Rosary for peace. My thought goes to the Ukrainian city of Mariupol’, ”Mary’s City“, barbarically bombed and destroyed. I renew the request that secure humanitarian corridors might be arranged for the people trapped in that city.” @Pontifex, 1 May 2022
- “#МолімосяРазом кожного дня травня Розарій за мир. Думка відразу лине до українського міста Маріуполя, “Міста Марії”, варварськи бомбардованого та знищеного. Повторюю заклик надати безпечні гуманітарні коридори для людей, що заблоковані в цьому місті.” @Pontifex, 1 May 2022
- “Каждый день мая будем молиться Святым Розарием о мире. Мои мысли обращаются к украинскому городу Мариуполю, «городу Марии», варварски разбомбленному и разрушенному. Я вновь призываю к созданию безопасных гуманитарных коридоров для людей, оказавшихся в ловушке в этом городе.” @Pontifex, 1 May 2022
- “When our nets are empty in life, it is not the time to feel sorry for ourselves, to have fun, to return to old pastimes. It is the time to start again with Jesus, to find the courage to begin again, to set out with him. #GospelOfTheDay (Jn 21:1–19)” @Pontifex, 1 May 2022
- “Saint Joseph reminds us that those who appear hidden or in the shadows can play an incomparable role in the history of salvation. A word of recognition and of gratitude is due to them all.” @Pontifex, 1 May 2022
- “Страждаю і плачу, коли думаю про страждання населення України, особливо, про найслабших, похилих віком, дітей.” @Pontifex, 1 May 2022
