The situation in the Gaza Strip is increasingly worrying and painful. I renew my heartfelt appeal to allow the entry of dignified humanitarian aid and to bring an end to the hostilities, whose heart-rending price is borne by children, the elderly, and the sick.
Pope Leo XIV greets the world for the first time to grant his Urbi et Orbi blessing. Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was elected as the 267th Successor of Peter by the 133 Cardinal electors on Thursday, May 8.
White smoke! The 133 Cardinal electors gathered in the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel have elected the new Pope. He will appear soon at the central window of St. Peter’s Basilica.

BREAKING :
The UN confirms that the events did not start on October 7th.
“October 7th did not occur in a vacuum; it was preceded by decades of violence, dispossession, unlawful occupation, and the denial of Palestinian self-determination.”
@RamAbdu Israeli Defence Force or Israeli Dark Force? The men's trauma & distress prompt us yet again to pray every day for Palestinian prisoners, esp. when we know what the IDF does to them. May God send them help and strength; may political leaders of goodwill find a way. #stopstalling
Palestinian Sami al Ghoulah was released from #Israeli_jails today morning along with 75 others..
He says: “The Israeli occupation forces beat us, starved us, prevented treatment, banned medicines, prevented us from sleeping, played noisy music and treated us like animals.
“I do not believe that I am holding a piece of bread in my hand.”
Israel invading forces are holding Palestinian families at gunpoint, then destroying the homes in Hebron in the occupied West Bank…
Netanyahu has ordered the demolition of over 3,500 Palestinian homes that will be used for settlements…
We are witnessing a genocide…🇵🇸💔
I reject the premise of Israel’s genocide that “something needs to be done about Hamas” when Israel is the brutal colonizer. Israel has no right to do anything to Palestinians.
Every time I walk down the street right now, all I feel is heartbreak; people are stuck in the middle of nowhere, puzzled where to go or where they can set up their tents.
They are exhausted, lacking food, money, and even water.
@griptmedia I hope Mr Meehan will now have a good rest and then be able to prepare well for the 6th June. It's shameful that no consideration was given to him by Tipperary County Council to put this 'order' on hold while he was undergoing medical treatment.
