Papal Tweets

• “Holy women and men do not have easier lives than others. On the contrary, they are often objects of opposition. But through #prayer, they nourish the flame of their faith, as oil used to do for lamps. And thus, they move ahead walking in faith and hope.” @Pontifex, 30 June 2023
• “This is Christian prophecy: responding to evil with good, to hatred with love, to division with reconciliation. Faith transforms reality from within.” @Pontifex, 1 July 2023
• “A prophet is a living sign who points God out to others, a reflection of Christ’s light on the path of the brothers and sisters, someone who helps others read the present under the action of the Holy Spirit, to understand God’s plans and correspond to them. #Angelus” @Pontifex, 2 July 2023
• “Let us #PrayTogether that Catholics place at the centre of their lives the Eucharistic Celebration, which transforms human relationships and opens up an encounter with God and their brothers and sisters. #PrayerIntention #ClickToPray CHDRoym Video” @Pontifex, 3 July 2023
