Papal Tweets

• “I invite you to go out and look for those elderly persons who are most alone, at home or in residences where they are guests. Let’s make sure no one feels alone. Visiting the elderly who live alone is a work of mercy in our time! #GrandparentsElderly #BlessingOfTime” @Pontifex, 13 July 2022
• “#OurLadyofMountCarmel d Image” @Pontifex, 16 July 2022
• “The word of Jesus is a teaching that touches and shapes life, frees it from the dullness of evil, satisfies and infuses it with a joy that does not pass: it is the better part. Therefore, Mary gives it first place: she stops and listens. The rest will come after. #GospelOfTheDay” @Pontifex, 17 July 2022
• “Let us #PrayTogether for the people of Sri Lanka. I urge all parties to seek a peaceful solution to the current crisis that especially favors the poorest, resecting everyone’s rights.” @Pontifex, 17 July 2022
• “I am near the suffering Ukrainian people. How is it possible not to understand that war only creates destruction and death, driving people apart, killing truth and dialogue? Let us #PrayTogether that negotiations might begin again.” @Pontifex, 17 July 2022
• “We must return to the essence of Christianity: the love of God, the driving force of our joy that sends us out to trod the pathways of the world, and welcoming our neighbour. This is the simplest and most beautiful witness we can give the world.” @Pontifex, 19 July 2022
