“Procure siempre inclinarse no a lo más fácil, sino a lo más dificultoso; no a lo más sabroso, sino a lo más desabrido; no a lo que es descanso, sino a lo trabajoso [...] No a andar buscando lo mejor de las cosas temporales, sino lo peor”.
~San Juan de la Cruz
🇱🇧🇬🇷 Lebanon’s Maronite patriarch has been welcomed by Orthodox monks on Mount Athos.

He drew a connection between their monastic heritage and Lebanon’s own Holy Valley.
Pray for Christian unity. These encounters matter. ✝️

INDISCREZIONE | Il Giornale: malumore in Vaticano per le parole del cardinale Parolin, che giovedì aveva detto che il Papa «rimodulerà il suo pontificato, se sarà necessario». Venerdì il Segretario di Stato ha precisato che si riferiva solo ai viaggi, a partire da quello in America Latina.
Secondo Nico Spuntoni, fonti vaticane giudicano «inappropriata» l'uscita.

Schmitt escribió a su editor que los mayores elogios a «El concepto de lo político» venían de los sionistas. Se refería a esto, un Estado que nace y vive en emergencia institucionalizada habita el Ernstfall, la posibilidad latente de una enemistad desatada. Peligro existencial.
🇦🇷🔻Marcelo Bielsa: "I am sure that football is in a process of decline."
"It is becoming less and less attractive because what made it the best game in the world is not there anymore."
"If you let a lot of people watch football, but you don't protect the pleasure of what they watch, that favours business, because the business is that a lot of people watch football."
"For me, the introduction of technology (like VAR) does a lot of harm to football."
"This sport has a particularity: when it becomes completely predictable, it loses its appeal."
"As time passes, as fewer and fewer footballers are worth watching and as the game produced is less and less enjoyable, this artificial increase in the number of spectators will be interrupted."
El Estado más vendehumo de la historia; logró derrotar a la Alemania nazi usando a millones de sus ciudadanos como carne de cañón y ni siquiera sobrevivió un siglo.
