Too true.

When you live in a country where the six richest people control as much wealth as poorest 13 million, but you choose to be angry at workers striking because they’re living costs are higher than their wages, you’re thinking in interests of those six, not the 13 million.

A truly beautiful moment. May our life in Christ be as prophetic as this!

A young child runs up to #PopeFrancis during the Wednesday’s #GeneralAudience and quietly stands by his side.

Pope Francis notes the child’s courage and how the alliance between the old and the young “will save the human family.”

[Chasing Columba @ChasingColumba]

Amen.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

It will not be the arms race and strategies of deterrence that will bring peace and security. We need not ask how to pursue wars, but how to stop them. What is needed is creative and farsighted policies capable of moving beyond the categories of opposition.
