- “Let us #PrayTogether for a more widespread culture of non-violence, that will progress when countries and citizens alike resort less and less to the use of arms. #PrayerIntention #ClickToPray Video” @Pontifex, 30 March 2023
- “I am touched by the many messages received in these hours and I express my gratitude for the closeness and prayer.” @Pontifex, 30 March 2023
- “When experienced with faith, the trials and difficulties of life serve to purify our hearts, making them humbler and thus more and more open to God. #Lent” @Pontifex, 31 March 2023
- “Living #HolyWeek means entering ever more deeply into God’s logic, into the logic of the Cross, which is not primarily that of suffering and death, but rather that of love and of the gift of self that brings life.” @Pontifex, 1 April 2023
- “I thank everyone for their closeness and prayer. I entrust the sick to Mary, especially the youngest, like those I met in the oncology ward at Gemelli. Let us pray for those who suffer the loss of dear ones and for those who work in hospitals. It takes courage. I admire them. https://t.co/WBUBDEmzdW Image” @Pontifex, 1 April 2023
- “On the cross, Christ put Himself in solidarity with us so that each of us can say: In my failures, in my desolation, when I feel betrayed and abandoned, You are there, Jesus. When I feel I can’t take it anymore, you are with me. In all my unanswered “why’s”, you are with me.” @Pontifex, 2 April 2023
- ““My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Mt 27:46). These are the words that bring us to the very heart of Christ’s passion, the culmination of the sufferings He bore to save us. #PalmSunday” @Pontifex, 2 April 2023
- “Abandoned, Christ stirs us to seek and love Him in the abandoned. For they are not only people in need, but He is there – Jesus abandoned – the One who saved us by descending to the depths of our human condition. #PalmSunday” @Pontifex, 2 April 2023
- “God chose to enter into our human history the most difficult way possible: the cross. This way, no one could ever be so desperate and not to be able to find Him, even in the midst of anguish and abandonment. God arrived in the very place we didn’t think He could be.” @Pontifex, 3 April 2023
- “During these days of Holy Week, let us #PrayTogether more intensely for the war-torn people of Ukrainia, and for all peoples experiencing war, that with God’s help, paths of peace might be opened.” @Pontifex, 3 April 2023
- “From the Cross forgiveness poured forth and fraternal love was reborn: the Cross makes us brothers and sisters. #HolyWeek” @Pontifex, 4 April 2023
