On February 23, 2025, Pope Francis addressed the public in two heartfelt messages on X amid his ongoing health crisis.
In his first message, he called upon his followers to courageously embody love and positivity in their lives, emphasizing the transformative power of kindness and solidarity.
“I urge you to continue your apostolate with joy and to be a sign of a love that embraces everyone,” the pontiff said, referencing the day’s Gospel reading.
He passionately encouraged his followers, adding,
“May we transform evil into goodness and build a fraternal world. Do not be afraid to take risks for love!”
