Papal Tweets
- “Let us not forget those suffering from the earthquake in #Turkey and #Syria. Let us continue to pray for the victims and their loved ones and make a concrete commitment to help the survivors. May the Lord give consolation to the people affected by this terrible tragedy.” @Pontifex, 15 February 2023
- “The proclamation of the Gospel does not begin from us, but from the beauty of what we have freely received: meeting Jesus, knowing Him, and discovering that we are loved and saved. It is such a great gift that we cannot keep it to ourselves, we feel the need to spread it.” @Pontifex, 15 February 2023
- “The #WordOfGod, which is addressed to all, calls us to conversion. When we are filled with the Word, it transforms our hearts and minds; it changes us and helps us direct our lives to the Lord.” @Pontifex, 16 February 2023
- “#Lent is a time of grace to the extent that we listen to Jesus. He speaks to us in the Word of God and through our brothers and sisters, especially in the faces and stories of those who are in need. @VaticanIHD
VUYft Message” @Pontifex, 17 February 2023 - “God never leaves us on our own. God waits for us to ask Him to give us a hand. We need to learn how to distinguish God’s voice through silent #Prayer and intimate dialogue with Him, treasuring in our hearts that which does us good and gives us peace.” @Pontifex, 18 February 2023
- “In the #GospelOfToday (Mt 5:38–48), the Lord invites us not to respond to evil with evil, but to dare to do good, even if we receive little or nothing in return. For it is this love that slowly transforms conflicts, overcomes enmities and heals the wounds of hatred.” @Pontifex, 19 February 2023
- “I am close to the people of New Zealand, struck in recent days by a devastating cyclone. Let’s #PrayTogether” @Pontifex, 19 February 2023
- “Let us not forget those who are suffering. I think of Syria and Turkey, of the very many victims of the earthquake; of the dear Ukrainian people and the many populations who suffer as a result of war of poverty, lack of freedom, or environmental devastation.” @Pontifex, 19 February 2023
- “#SocialJustice demands that we fight against the causes of poverty: inequality and the lack of labour, land, and lodging; against those who deny social and labour rights; and against the culture that leads to taking away the dignity of others.” @Pontifex, 20 February 2023
- “In God, no act of love, no matter how small, and no generous effort will ever be lost.” @Pontifex, 21 February 2023
- “Dear brothers and sisters, may the Holy Spirit sustain us this #Lent2023 in our ascent with Jesus. May we experience His divine splendour and thus, confirmed in faith, persevere in our journey with Him, the glory of His people and light of the nations.
VUYft Message” @Pontifex, 22 February 2023 - “The Spirit sheds light on the path of the Church. He is not only the light of hearts, He is the light that orients the Church: He brings clarity, helps to distinguish, to discern. This is why it is necessary to invoke Him often; let us also do so today, at the beginning of #Lent” @Pontifex, 22 February 2023
- “Let us not neglect the grace of this holy season, responding generously to the powerful promptings of #Lent. At the end of the journey, we will encounter with greater joy the Lord of life, who alone can raise us up from our ashes.” @Pontifex, 22 February 2023
- “Almsgiving, charity, will be a sign of our compassion toward those in need, and help us to return to others. Prayer will give voice to our profound desire to encounter the Father, and will bring us back to him.” @Pontifex, 22 February 2023
- “Fasting will be the spiritual training ground where we joyfully renounce the superfluous things that weigh us down, grow in interior freedom and return to the truth about ourselves.” @Pontifex, 22 February 2023
