"...Do good. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway" Blessed Mother Teresa #DoGood#BeKind#ShareLove#GiveYourBest
Cardinal Pietro Parolin led the second night of the recitation of the Holy Rosary at the Basilica of St. Mary Major in suffrage for Pope Francis.
"In tonight’s prayer as well, we entrust our beloved Holy Father Francis to Most Holy Mary, Salus Populi Romani."
The body of the late Pope Francis will be transferred to St. Peter’s Basilica on Wednesday at 9:00 AM to lie in state until his funeral on Saturday morning at 10:00 AM.
The Holy See Press Office announced on Tuesday that Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, Dean of the College of Cardinals, will preside at the funeral Mass, which will be concelebrated by Patriarchs, Cardinals, Archbishops, Bishops, and priests from across the globe.
The Eucharistic celebration will conclude with the Ultima commendatio and the Valedictio, marking the beginning of the Novemdiales, or nine days of mourning and Masses for the repose of Pope Francis' soul.
The late Pope's body will then be taken into St. Peter’s Basilica and then to the Basilica of St. Mary Major for entombment.
Earlier, on Wednesday, the coffin containing the Pope’s body will be carried from the chapel of the Casa Santa Marta to St. Peter’s Basilica.
Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church, will preside over the rite of translation on April 23, which will begin at 9:00 AM with a moment of prayer.
The procession will pass through Santa Marta Square and the Square of the Roman Protomartyrs, according to the Holy See Press Office.
The procession will then exit through the Arch of the Bells into St. Peter’s Square and enter the Vatican Basilica through the central door.
At the Altar of the Confession, the Cardinal Camerlengo will preside over the Liturgy of the Word, at the conclusion of which the visits to the body of the Roman Pontiff will commence.
At 9:45 AM on Easter Monday, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Apostolic Chamber, spoke these words at the Casa Santa Marta:
"Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church. He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalized. With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God."

Excellent write-up of the Newham young adult probation Hub @russwebt. You have captured our key points including if there is not capacity for the model to be rolled out more widely, there should be dedicated young adult teams within adult mainstream probation. @jakephillips

No two drops of water are alike, nor are two brothers or sisters, not even twins are completely identical. Living out fraternity means welcoming each other, recognizing each other as equal in diversity. #ApostolicJourney
In the #GospelOfTheDay, Jesus explains that "purity" is not linked to external rituals, but first and foremost to our inner dispositions. For example, we cannot appear devout in prayer, but then treat our family with coldness and detachment at home.

Da Vinci's Last Supper is a keystone of Christian art.
It inspired centuries of awe and speculation — over its subtle symbols and concealed messages.
But there's something hidden that nearly everyone overlooks... (thread) 🧵

"there were 238,765 offenders under probation supervision as at 31 December 2023, down 1% on the previous year." So what is the ***real*** issue for probation?" 1/2
As James Timpson takes up office, there is much talk about the value of ‘second chances’. Some reflections are decent and positive; others are ill-informed and unkind. But it is worth remembering that there are large numbers of people in prison who never had a FIRST chance.
Watch this it’s fascinating - I asked James Timpson what he’d do about prisons and sentencing if he was in charge. He believes only a third of prisoners in jail should definitely be there. He’s now in charge of prisons (but not sentencing).
