Friends, today is the Holy Father’s birthday! Please join me in praying for Pope Leo. May the Holy Spirit continue to guide and strengthen him as our trusted shepherd.
In today's WSJ: the Pope apologizes for 18 centuries of the Church being wrong about who counts morally, then redraws the line with the same confidence.
A glaring inconsistency at the heart of an otherwise remarkable encyclical on AI.
"I agree with [St. Thomas] in everything; but when it comes to the Incarnation, I follow Scotus." -St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, OCD (aka Edith Stein)
I pray for you, too. I pray above all for #Peace. From here, war appears even more absurd. Let us pray for martyred Ukraine, Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Myanmar, Sudan, and Kivu.
I have recently received many messages of affection, and I have been particularly struck by the letters and drawings from children. Thank you for your closeness, and for the consoling prayers I have received from all over the world!
Ricevo questo messaggio dalla parrocchia di #Gaza
“Questa sera ci ha chiamato il #Papa dall'ospedale, gli abbiamo salutato.
Era stanco però con voce chiara.
Ha domandato come eravamo e ha ringraziato preghiere, e ci ha dato la sua benedizione”
