[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Let us entrust to the intercession of the Mother of God the universal desire for peace, in particular for tormented Ukraine, which suffers greatly. With God’s help, peace is possible; disarmament is possible. May Our Lady help us to convert ourselves towards God’s plans.

Let us walk together with peace this Advent 🙏💜

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

I wish you all a good #Advent journey made up of many small gestures of #peace every day: welcoming gestures, gestures of understanding, closeness, forgiveness, and service... Gestures from the heart, like steps towards Bethlehem, towards Jesus, the King of peace.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Poor people are not “outside” our communities. They are brothers and sisters whose suffering we share, in order to alleviate their difficulties and marginalization, so that their lost dignity might be restored, and to ensure their necessary social inclusion. #EndPoverty

Today is International Day of Disaster Risk Reduction.
Preparing for disasters is crucial, especially for vulnerable communities in countries like the Solomon Islands, situated on the Ring of Fire.
