Thérèse of Lisieux’s “Little Way” is the spirituality of imperfection; we come to God not by doing it right, but by doing it wrong. It’s not a matter of doing great things. Whenever we act in conscious love, this is the little way. https://t.co/QgWDP9Rrsl

On his return flight from France, Pope Leo XIV describes the "four days of blessings" he experienced in France:
"The four days were literally filled with many blessings. Almost miracles, I would say, especially the time at Lourdes, walking with, accompanying so many people who are sick and suffering and seeing how the grace of God's presence manifested in many different ways, touches people's hearts, transforms their lives, and, to use an expression that I mentioned there, restores dignity to the sick, the elderly, those who in some parts of society are discarded.
So, there were many signs, many expressions, many symbols throughout the four days. And personally, I felt very blessed myself to have the privilege to visit France to encourage especially young people who are obviously searching for something.
It was so apparent at the stadium, the evening with 80,000 young people gathered together from around France and their enthusiasm and their joy and the sense of hope that they offered, but especially I think that they received and will be able to share with others.
So, amongst the many different things that we celebrated and lived during these four days I would say those are some of the highlights, and not to exclude others, but that that were quite significant. I'm very happy to have had you along on this trip, and if you have a few questions."
Amid heightened social tensions regarding immigration, National Migration Week focuses this year on the presence of Christ within each migrant child. The week culminates today with the 112th World Day of Migrants and Refugees and Pope Leo XIV's theme, "Even just one of these children." Most Rev. Cristiano Barbosa, Auxiliary Bishop of the @bostoncatholic, shares how every migrant child carries the face of Christ and how the Church stands in solidarity with migrants and refugees by affirming that they are not alone.
