The #HornofAfrica, is facing its worst ever crisis. Our partners are reporting widespread suffering - extreme weather, political instability and global food issues have made access to food extremely difficult.
Here are some important figures about the #GlobalFoodCrisis.
Final shift at @Daily_Record tonight after a thoroughly enjoyable year working with some great people. Looking forward to a bit of an adventure in Asia before landing in Australia in November for the next chapter.
This may be the Pope's finest moment, and I mean that. He is his own man here, and the papacy stripped and reduced to one thing: a priest being a priest to a desperate and scared flock.
A vision of the papacy all should support
Pope Francis: “We were not shaken awake by wars or injustice across the world, nor did we listen to the cry of the poor or of our ailing planet. We carried on regardless, thinking we would stay healthy in a world that was sick."
“We have an anchor: by his cross we have been saved. We have a rudder: by his cross we have been redeemed. We have a hope: by his cross we have been healed and embraced so that nothing and no one can separate us from his redeeming love.” #UrbietOrbi https://t.co/OgGlOsU9xs
This is the letter I sent out to Priests over the weekend. If you can still access your church please take a free copy of this week's SCO! Please consider helping parishes in any way you can during this difficult time.
BREAKING: Holy Week celebrations and Liturgies in Vatican to take place without the Faithful present. GA and Angelus will continue to be live streamed until April 12.
It's only a matter of time before similar decisions are taken here if the crisis continues on this trajectory.
350 Faithful attended St Ignazio Church in Rome this morning to celebrate Scotland's historical and current connections with this great city. Brilliant experience and liturgy!
