Japanese fans cleaned the WHOLE stadium after Japan tied the Netherlands. Hours later, NYC Knicks fans torched buses celebrating their first NBA title since 1973. Same win, opposite
character. Save this and share it with someone who needs to see the contrast.
In message for 6th World Grandparents Day, Pope Leo XIV says: “The Church understands the suffering of her elderly members; she knows full well that they are all too often viewed through the lens of stereotypes and considered a burden; she is aware that a profit-driven economy weakens family ties; she knows that many elderly people are left behind by children who are forced to migrate or, in some cases, to fight in wars. For each of these reasons, she joyfully proclaims the Lord’s promise: “But I will never forget you!””

St Anthony Of Padua
St. Anthony of Padua (1195-1231) was born in Lisbon, Portugal to a powerful yet pious family. At age 15 he relinquished a life of nobility, wealth, and honor, and chose instead to serve God with the Augustinians. Years later he witnessed the dead bodies of Franciscan friars who had been martyred by Muslims being carried through the town where he was stationed. Filled with renewed zeal to follow Christ even more completely after the example of these martyrs, St. Anthony joined the Franciscan order and traveled to Morocco to preach to the Moors. However, his poor health prevented his mission and he was forced to return to Italy. There he lived a largely quiet and secluded life, spending his time in prayer, study, and priestly duties. No one had any idea of St. Anthony’s giftedness as a preacher and teacher of theology until one day he was called upon to be a substitute preacher. He amazed everyone in attendance with his depth of knowledge and oratory skill. He then became the foremost preacher of the Franciscans and was sent to preach against the heretics and the vices of the day. His zeal and effectiveness as a preacher earned him the title "Hammer of the Heretics." St. Anthony was known for his holiness and miracles, and was declared a Doctor of the Church in 1946. He is the patron saint of the elderly, fishermen, and the poor, and is renowned as the finder of lost articles. His feast day is June 13.
Dear brother priests, on the day when the Church ponders her Lord’s pierced Heart, from which gushes forth an inexhaustible fountain of peace and unity for all humanity, I first address to myself and to all of you the words that God spoke to the people of Israel: “Be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy” (Lev 19:2; 1 Pt 1:16).

El talento del Papa León no deja de sorprendernos, pasando sin papel y sin esfuerzo del español al francés y al inglés en menos de 20 segundos. En su último día en España, se reunió con migrantes en el Centro “Las Raíces” en Tenerife, abierto en 2021 como respuesta a la crisis de 2020, cuando más de 23.000 migrantes llegaron a las costas de las Islas Canarias. Allí se salió del guion antes de leer su discurso en francés y, casi sin darse cuenta, fue cambiando con total naturalidad entre tres idiomas en un saludo improvisado.
Today, on the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, we celebrate the infinite love and mercy of Christ, both divine and human!
His Heart pierced for us, burns with compassion for every soul.
His Heart invites us not to a heavy burden of rules, but to intimate friendship with God. It is meek and humble, ever ready to embrace the weary and give them rest.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in you.

Roughly two weeks ago, the Japanese "Kaze no Ie" movement celebrated the 40th anniversary of its establishment. Founded by Father Yoji Inoue and Endō Shūsaku, it seeks to have "the gospel of Jesus... ...take root and blossom in the cultural climate of Japan."
From this square, I wish to address a clear message to those who take advantage of people’s desperation, to those who organize death routes, traffic in human beings, withhold documents, exploit workers, threaten women, deceive families, and turn the suffering of others into a business. Stop! Repent! (Mk 1:15) #ApostolicJourney
