Blessed and happy first anniversary of the Pontificate of Pope Leo XIV. May God continue to bless him with graces. May the Holy Spirit guide and inspire him every day.
In thanksgiving, let's offer an Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be.
Pope Leo XIV responded to President Trumpโs social media post saying:
โI do not look at my role as being political, a politician. I donโt want to get into a debate with him. I donโt think that the message of the Gospel is meant to be abused in the way that some people are doing.โ
Jn 16,33: โIn the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world.โ
ยซOur passion-plungรจd giant risen,
The Christ of the Father compassionate, fetched in the storm of his strides.ยป
-Hopkins, The Wreck of the Deutschland
โWe know that we can suffer injustice and mistreatment, and that we are very capable of being unjust and mistreating others. Christ carrying his Cross shows us that we cannot mistreat anyone, and we must defend those who are mistreated.โ
Stations of the Cross, Basรญlica de Nuestra Seรฑora:
โSabemos que podemos sufrir injusticia y maltrato y que somos muy capaces de ser injustos y maltratar a otros.
Cristo cargando su Cruz nos muestra que no podemos maltratar a nadie, y debemos defender a los maltratadosโ.
