“With Jesus, the Risen Lord, no night will last forever. Even in the darkest night, the morning star still shines.” @Pontifex, 21 April 2022
“We all need to make a contribution to halt the destruction of our common home and to restore nature: governments, businesses and citizens – we must act like brothers and sisters who share the Earth, the common home that God has given us. #EarthDay” @Pontifex, 22 April 2022
“How beautiful is a Church that can run through the streets of our world with the desire to bear the joy of the Gospel to everyone. That is what we are called to do: to roll away the stone from the tomb where we have often enclosed the Lord, in order to spread his joy in the world” @Pontifex, 22 April 2022
“Let us ask for the grace to feeling that we are in need of mercy: this is the only way that the salvation of God operates in us. #DivineMercy” @Pontifex, 23 April 2022
“I ask everyone to increase their prayers for peace and to have the courage to say, to show that peace is possible. Political leaders, please, listen to the voice of the people who want peace, not an escalation of the conflict.” @Pontifex, 24 April 2022
“Христос воскрес! Он воистину воскрес! Да наполнит Господь надеждой благие ожидания сердец, да принесёт Он мир, оскорблённый варварством войны.” @Pontifex, 24 April 2022
“Печально, что в эти дни – самые святые и торжественные для всех христиан – чаще раздаётся смертоносный грохот оружия, чем звон колоколов, возвещающих о Воскресении; печально, что оружие всё больше занимает место слов.” @Pontifex, 24 April 2022
“Я вновь призываю к пасхальному перемирию. Наступление обязано прекратиться, чтобы облегчить страдания измученного населения; необходимо остановиться, повинуясь словам Воскресшего, Который в день Пасхи повторяет Своим ученикам: ‘Мир вам!’.” @Pontifex, 24 April 2022
“Я прошу всех умножить молитвы о мире и смело заявить и показать, что мир действительно возможен. Политические лидеры, пожалуйста, прислушайтесь к голосу людей, которые хотят мира, а не эскалации конфликта.” @Pontifex, 24 April 2022
“Я прошу всіх посилити молитву за мир і мати сміливість говорити та демонструвати, що мир є можливим. Політичні лідери, будь ласка, прислухайтесь до голосу людей, які прагнуть миру, а не ескалації конфлікту.” @Pontifex, 24 April 2022
“Повторюю заклик до великоднього перемир’я. Нехай припиниться наступ, щоби вийти назустріч стражданням виснаженого населення; нехай зупиниться, слухаючись слів Воскреслого, Який в день Пасхи повторює Своїм учням: «Мир вам!»” @Pontifex, 24 April 2022
“I renew my appeal for an Easter truce. Stop the attack, so as to respond to the suffering of the exhausted population. Let it stop, in obedience to the words of the Risen Lord, who on Easter repeats to his disciples: “Peace be with you!” @Pontifex, 24 April 2022
“It is sad that in these days, which are the holiest and most solemn for all Christians, the deadly roar of weapons is heard rather than the sound of bells announcing the Resurrection. And it is sad that weapons are increasingly taking the place of words” @Pontifex, 24 April 2022
“Сумно, що в ці дні, найсвятіші та найурочистіші для всіх християн, смертельний гуркіт зброї звучить гучніше, аніж передзвін, що звіщає Воскресіння; сумно, що зброя дедалі більше займає місце слова.” @Pontifex, 24 April 2022
“Христос Воскрес! Він воістину воскрес! Нехай же Він наповнить надією добрі очікування сердець! Нехай же Він дарує мир, скривджений варварством війни” @Pontifex, 24 April 2022
“This Sunday, we discover three ways the #DivineMercy acts in us: it gives joy, it grants forgiveness and comforts in difficulties. https://t.co/TlkICgagAb Event” @Pontifex, 24 April 2022
“There are difficult times when life seems to belie faith. It’s precisely then that we rediscover the Lord’s heart. In those situations, Jesus doesn’t perform earth-shattering miracles, but instead offers us heartwarming signs of #mercy. He comforts us by offering us his wounds.” @Pontifex, 24 April 2022
“Jesus is not afraid of our crises. He always comes back when the doors are closed and when we doubt. He always comes back, not with powerful signs that would make us feel inadequate, but with his wounds, the signs of his love. #GospelOfTheDay Jn 20:19–31” @Pontifex, 24 April 2022
“Christ is risen, he is truly risen! May he fill with hope the good expectations of hearts. May he grant peace, outraged by the barbarity of war.” @Pontifex, 24 April 2022
“Let’s remember the forgiveness and peace we have received from Jesus. Let’s put the memory of God’s warm embrace before the memory of our own mistakes and failings. In this way, we will grow in joy. For nothing will ever is ever the same for anyone who has experienced God’s joy!” @Pontifex, 25 April 2022
“#МолімосяРазом за всі жертви насильства та війни. VtSsQHCgO Image” @Pontifex, 26 April 2022
“When we bring peace to someone who is suffering physically or spiritually, when we spend some time listening, being present, or consoling someone, we encounter Jesus who repeats to us through the eyes of all those who are weighed down by the trials of life: Peace be with you!” @Pontifex, 26 April 2022
“Let us #PrayTogether for all the victims of violence and war. Image” @Pontifex, 26 April 2022
“#МолимсяВместе обо всех жертвах насилия и войны. vvYDnDlQ Image” @Pontifex, 26 April 2022
