We can experience joy in difficult circumstances only if our lives are rooted in a relationship with God as a loving Father. Only God's love can give us true and perfect joy. If we are deeply convinced that God cares for us as His beloved children, we will not be confused or discouraged, even in the midst of hardship. https://t.co/duKCEN0LpU

There has been distressing news about the war in #Ukraine, which keeps expanding. There are many innocent victims, rescue workers killed, and churches and cultural heritage sites devastated by flames. I am close to all those who mourn their loved ones, to the wounded, and to those who continue to serve life with courage amid violence. Let us #PrayTogether that this war may end. Let us ask the Lord to open paths of dialogue, extinguish hatred, and make a just and lasting #Peace possible.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The human heart is not filled by accumulating experiences, possibilities, or temporary guarantees; it is filled when it discovers a call, when it understands that life reaches fullness only if it is given. Following Christ does not impoverish existence, but expands it. #ApostolicJourney

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

Science has now confirmed what anyone who has ever sought shade under a tree on a scorching day already instinctively knew: trees are nature’s ultimate air conditioners.

A single mature tree can release up to 380 liters of water vapor into the atmosphere every day through a process called evapotranspiration. Water drawn up from the roots travels through the trunk and evaporates from the leaves, quietly absorbing heat and cooling the surrounding air in the process.

The scale of this natural cooling is astonishing. According to environmental researchers, one large tree can produce a cooling effect equivalent to running five to ten air conditioners continuously for 20 hours — every single day. It does this silently, without using any electricity, without making any noise, and without emitting a single gram of carbon.

Every tree standing on a hot afternoon is essentially a free, self-powered, zero-emission cooling system that has been working since the day it was planted. Every tree we cut down removes that powerful natural cooling forever. Every tree we plant adds it back.

Nature really did build the perfect climate control system long before we ever invented one.

“A society can absorb some divorce. It can absorb some family instability. It cannot indefinitely normalize the idea that the basic reproductive, emotional, and developmental unit of civilization is optional, fragile, litigated, and subordinate to adult self-actualization.

At that point, the family is no longer the foundation of society. It is a temporary arrangement subject to dissolution whenever adult desire, discomfort, or self-conception changes.”

Teaching means forming people to listen to the heart, to inner freedom and the capacity for critical thinking. In this dynamic, faith and reason neither ignore nor oppose one another. They should both be traveling companions in the humble and sincere search for truth.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Christ calls us to freedom. He does not want servants or clients, rather He seeks brothers and sisters to whom He can totally dedicate Himself. To respond with faith to this love, it is not enough to hear Jesus speak: we must accept the meaning of His words. It is not enough even to just observe what Jesus does: we must follow and imitate Him. #ApostolicJourney #Angola https://t.co/WQ4wr7yrLn

His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.

Now if only the PNoy administration had built NAIA-X as a train line rather than an expressway.

After a three-year wait, the airport line of the Metro Manila Subway Project has been awarded. Soon, NAIA will be a train ride away for hundreds of thousands of commuters in Metro Manila. Exclusive to the @PhilippineStar https://t.co/NnkZGDciGa

Let us allow ourselves to be transformed by the peace of Christ! Let us make heard the cry for peace that springs from our hearts! For this reason, I invite everyone to join me in a prayer vigil for peace that we will celebrate here in Saint Peter’s Square next Saturday, April 11. #Easter
