I ask you to remember me in your prayers and also the members of the Roman Curia, who this evening begin a week of Spiritual Exercises.

May His experience also help us to be vigilant in the face of temptation and not to surrender to any idol of this world
The #GospelOfTheDay (Mt 4:1-11) shows how Jesus responds to the tempter who tries three times to ensnare Him. May His experience also help us to be vigilant in the face of temptation and not to surrender to any idol of this world. #Lent

May we allow ourselves to be reconciled
May we allow ourselves to be reconciled, in order to live as beloved children, as forgiven and healed sinners, as wayfarers with him at our side. #Lent

A full life
#RareDiseaseDay offers us the opportunity to together care for our brothers and sisters who are ill, to integrate research, medical care, and social assistance so that they might enjoy equal opportunities and lead a full life.

Dignity of the person, justice, subsidiarity and solidarity: this it the contribution of the Church’s social teaching in our common pursuit of “algor-ethics”
Dignity of the person, justice, subsidiarity and solidarity: this it the contribution of the Church’s social teaching in our common pursuit of “algor-ethics”. The Call that has been signed today is an important step in this direction. #renAIssance https://t.co/jr8wntY1bK

It is time to turn off the TV
#Lent is great time to make space for the Word of God. It is time to turn off the TV and open the Bible. It is a time to pull ourselves away from cell phones and connect ourselves to the Gospel.

We pray, fast, and perform the works of mercy
We pray, fast, and perform the works of mercy in this time of grace, so that the Lord might find our hearts ready and fill them with the victory of His love. #Lent

We were put in this world to go from ashes to life
#Lent is a time of grace, a time for recognizing that our lowly #ashes are loved by God and for letting God gaze upon us with love, and in this way change our lives. We were put in this world to go from ashes to life.
— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) February 26, 2020
We are dust, earth, clay, but if we allow ourselves to be shaped by the hands of God, we become something wonderous
#Ashes remind us of the direction of our existence: a passage from dust to life. We are dust, earth, clay, but if we allow ourselves to be shaped by the hands of God, we become something wonderous. https://t.co/C0dilCH8OR

We cannot spend our lives chasing after dust
The #ashes we receive on our foreheads remind us that, as God's children, we cannot spend our lives chasing after dust.
— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) February 26, 2020
We are dust in the universe. Yet we are dust loved by God
We begin the #Lenten Season by receiving #ashes. We are dust in the universe. Yet we are dust loved by God. https://t.co/C0dilCYKdr

The beauty of a simpler life
Fasting means knowing how to renounce vanities that pass away and superfluous things, to get to what is essential. It means seeking the beauty of a simpler life. #Lent #GeneralAudience

The great mystery of the death and resurrection of Jesus, the cornerstone of Christian life
This year the Lord grants us, once again, a favourable time to prepare to celebrate with renewed hearts the great mystery of the death and resurrection of Jesus, the cornerstone of Christian life. #Lent https://t.co/sM29Xsch3l

There is only one path against the spirit of the world: humility. Serving others, choosing the last place, not climbing the ladder
Worldliness is the enemy of God. There is only one path against the spirit of the world: humility. Serving others, choosing the last place, not climbing the ladder. #HomilySantaMarta

I wish you may all learn to look at life from above
I wish you may all learn to look at life from above, from the perspective of heaven, to see things with God's eyes, through the prism of the Gospel.

We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God

Let us pray to the Lord that he may move hearts and that all may overcome the logic of confrontation, hatred and revenge in order to rediscover themselves as brothers, children of one Father
Let us pray to the Lord that he may move hearts and that all may overcome the logic of confrontation, hatred and revenge in order to rediscover themselves as brothers, children of one Father. #Bari2020

Loved by God, we are called to love
If we want to be disciples of Christ, this is the way: loved by God, we are called to love; forgiven, to forgive; saved freely, to seek no profit from the good we do. #Bari2020

To instill hope in who has lost it and to encourage those caught up in themselves not to fear their brothers or sisters
This is the work the Lord entrusts for the Mediterranean: to restore broken relationships, to rebuild cities destroyed by violence, to make a garden flourish, to instill hope in who has lost it and to encourage those caught up in themselves not to fear their brothers or sisters.

In charity and truth along the path of salvation
On the feast of the #ChairOfSaintPeter, we give thanks to God for the mission entrusted to the apostle Peter and his successors: to gather His people from among the nations and guide them in charity and truth along the path of salvation.
— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) February 22, 2020
We received life not to bury it, but to put it into play
We received life not to bury it, but to put it into play; not to keep it, but to give it. Whoever is with Jesus knows that the secret to possessing life is to give it.
— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) February 21, 2020
Accept the path of humility and humiliation that He chose for the redemption of humanity
To follow Jesus we must take three steps: draw close to Him to know Him better, confess - with the strength of the Holy Spirit - that He is the Son of God, and accept the path of humility and humiliation that He chose for the redemption of humanity. #HomilySantaMarta
— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) February 20, 2020
The option for the poor and the abandoned
The option for the poor and the abandoned motivates us to liberate them from material poverty and to defend their rights, but also to invite them to friendship with the Lord, who loves them and has given them immense dignity. #SocialJusticeDay
— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) February 20, 2020
Peace renewed with a brother or sister
"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." The "earth" to conquer is the salvation of our brother and sister. There is no earth better than someone's heart, no land more beautiful to gain than peace renewed with a brother or sister. This is the earth to inherit.
— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) February 19, 2020
Blessed are the meek
"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth" (Mt 5:5). Meekness can win over hearts, save friendships, and much more, because people get angry then they calm down. They rethink the issue before retracing their steps, and relationships can be rebuilt. #Beatitudes

The medicine to combat hardheartedness is memory: recalling the blessings of the Lord
Every one of us has something that has hardened within our heart. The medicine to combat hardheartedness is memory: recalling the blessings of the Lord. This keeps our heart open and faithful. #HomilySantaMarta

Go back to being small within, be simple and enthusiastic, filled with fervor for God and love for others
We alone cannot satisfy ourselves. We need to unmask our self-sufficiency, overcome our closures, go back to being small within, be simple and enthusiastic, filled with fervor for God and love for others.
— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) February 17, 2020
From the heart comes good and bad deeds
In #TodaysGospel, Jesus encourages us to move from a formal observance of the Law to a substantial observance, accepting the Law in our hearts. From the heart comes good and bad deeds.
