It is specifically women who welcome life within them. Women demonstrate that living does not consist in continually producing things, but in embracing things as they are. #InternationalWomensDay

Understanding the mystery of Christ
The wondrous event of the Transfiguration, recounted in the #GospelOfTheDay (Mt 17:1-9), opens us to a fuller understanding of the mystery of Christ, who must suffer, die and then rise again.

We will experience the mercy He freely gives us
In this favorable time of #Lent, may we listen to the voice of the Lord. The more we are fully engaged with His Word, the more we will experience the mercy He freely gives us.

It is the time to turn compassion into concrete acts of solidarity and care
#Lent is the perfect time to allow ourselves to contemplate the pain of those who suffer without anyone to help them. It is the time to turn compassion into concrete acts of solidarity and care.

I wish to express again my closeness to those who are ill

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

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

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
