[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

No nation, no society, and no international order can call itself just and humane if it measures its success solely by power or prosperity while neglecting those who live at the margins. Indeed, Christ’s love for the least and the forgotten compels us to reject every form of selfishness that leaves the poor and the vulnerable invisible.

I think about the love, the capacity for human connection, for generosity of spirit...Everything about our politics is zero-sum. That is not what we were meant for, as human beings. Our inclination is to be connected and to care.

Peace comes from being able to contribute the best that we have, and all that we are, toward creating a world that supports everyone. But it is also securing the space for others to contribute the best that they have and all that they are.

On this St George's Day we remember that George was martyred for putting his love of Christ before his love of Emperor or his military career.

The dragon he slew was the temptation to deny Christ in favour of Empire.
