- “The Eucharist, source of love for the life of the Church, is the school of charity and solidarity. Those who are nourished by the Bread of Christ cannot remain indifferent to those who do not have their daily bread. #CorpusDomini” @Pontifex 3 June 2021
- “During this month of June, dedicated in a special way to the Heart of Christ, we can repeat this simple prayer: “Jesus, make my heart resemble yours”. In this way, our own hearts will slowly but surely become more patient, more generous, more merciful…” @Pontifex 4 June 2021
- “We need an integral human ecology that can transform our way of living, our relationship with the earth’s resources, and that involves not only environmental questions, but the entire human person responding to the cry of the poor. #WorldEnvironmentDay” @Pontifex 5 June 2021
- “In this Decade on #Ecosystem Restoration, we must restore the various levels of ecological equilibrium: within ourselves, with others, with nature and other living creatures, and the spiritual equilibrium with God. #WorldEnvironmentDay” @Pontifex 5 June 2021
- “The #Eucharist heals because it unites with Jesus: it makes us assimilate his way of living, his ability to be broken up and given to brothers and sisters, to respond to evil with good. #CorpusDomini” @Pontifex 6 June 2021
- “In the #Eucharist fragility is strength: the strength of God’s love that becomes small so as to be welcomed and not feared; the strength of the love that is broken and shared so as to nourish and give life; the strength of the love that is split apart so as to join us in unity.” @Pontifex 6 June 2021
- “The #Eucharist gives us the courage to reach out with love toward the fragility of others. As God does with us. This is the logic of the Eucharist: we receive Jesus who loves us and heals our fragilities in order to love others and help them in their fragilities.” @Pontifex 6 June 2021
- “Let us #PrayTogether for the victims of the massacre that took place in a village of Burkina Faso. I am close to the family members and all the Burkinabé people suffering greatly because of these repeated attacks. Africa needs peace, not violence!” @Pontifex 6 June 2021
- “ join the Canadian Bishops and the whole Catholic Church in Canada in expressing my closeness to the Canadian people, who have been traumatised by shocking discovery of the remains of two hundred and fifteen children, pupils at the Kamloops Indian Residential School.” @Pontifex 6 June 2021
- “These difficult times are a strong call for everyone to turn away from the colonial model and walk side by side in dialogue, mutual respect and recognition of the rights and cultural values of all the daughters and sons of Canada.” @Pontifex 6 June 2021
- “To celebrate the #Eucharist, we need first to recognize our thirst for God, to sense our need for him, to long for his presence and love, to realize that we cannot go it alone. Homily” @Pontifex 7 June 2021
- “We cannot break bread on Sunday if our hearts are closed to our brothers and sisters. We cannot partake of that Bread if we do not give bread to the hungry. We cannot share that Bread unless we share the sufferings of our brothers and sisters in need.” @Pontifex 7 June 2021
- “Today at 1:00 pm International Catholic Action is calling for the dedication of ”one minute for peace“, each according to his or her own religious tradition. Let us pray in particular for the Holy Land and for Myanmar.” @Pontifex 8 June 2021
- “Our Eucharistic celebrations are transforming the world to the extent that we are allowing ourselves to be transformed and to become bread broken for others.” @Pontifex 8 June 2021
