Papal Tweets
- “The first task of Christians is to keep alive the flame that Jesus brought to earth (Lk 12:49), which is the Love of God: the Holy Spirit. Without the fire of the Spirit, prophecies are extinguished, sorrow supplants joy, and routine substitutes love.” @Pontifex, 26 May 2023
- “The Holy Spirit is the source of joy, born of our relationship with God, from knowing that we are not alone, lost or defeated even amid struggles and dark nights, because He is with us. We can overcome everything with God, even the abyss of pain and death.” @Pontifex, 27 May 2023
- “If the world is divided, if the Church is polarized, if hearts are broken, let us not waste time in criticizing others and growing angry with one another; instead, let us invoke the Spirit.” @Pontifex, 28 May 2023
- “Come, Creator Spirit, harmony of humanity, renew the face of the earth. Come, Gift of gifts, harmony of the Church, make us one in you. Come, Spirit of forgiveness and harmony of the heart, transform us as only you can, through the intercession of Mary.” @Pontifex, 28 May 2023
- “Holy Spirit, Spirit of Jesus and of the Father, inexhaustible wellspring of harmony, to you we entrust the world; to you we consecrate the Church and our hearts. JsrQZMtg Homily” @Pontifex, 28 May 2023
- “Let’s #PrayTogether for the populations who live at the border between Myanmar and Bangladesh, hard hit by a cyclone. I hope access to humanitarian aid will be enabled, and I appeal for a sense of solidarity to aid these brothers and sisters of ours.” @Pontifex, 28 May 2023
- “The People of God, in order to be filled with the Spirit, must therefore journey together, “do Synod”. That is how harmony in the Church is renewed: by journeying together with the Spirit at the centre. Brothers and sister, let us build harmony in the Church!” @Pontifex, 29 May 2023
- “I thank all who have joined the #FamilyGlobalCompact, and I invite them to devote themselves creatively and confidently to every initiative that can help put the family once more at the heart of our pastoral and social engagement. @laityfamilylife” @Pontifex, 30 May 2023
- “Let us #PrayTogether that the international community commit itself concretely to abolish torture, guaranteeing support to victims and their families. #PrayerIntention #ClickToPray fWAu Video” @Pontifex, 30 May 2023
