The history of Peter and Paul shows us that the communion to which the Lord calls us is a unison of voices and personalities that does not eliminate anyone’s freedom. Our patron saints followed different paths, had different ideas and at times argued with one another with evangelical frankness. Yet this did not prevent them from living a living communion in the Spirit, a fruitful harmony in diversity.

With time comes silence—not absence of noise, but a transition of roles. At 60, you notice the world moves on. At 65, you shift from proving to mentoring. At 70, you shed titles and embrace essence. At 80, love is not possession but freedom. In the end, what remains are not achievements but the bonds we create. Be light, be presence, and you will be eternal.

This week in key Covid publications:
—Young, healthy individuals with mild cases had objective cognitive deficits at 1-year that they did not perceive
—Older, hospitalized adults with severe Covid had an equivalent of 20 years of decline in cognitive performance at 1-year follow-up
—A nasal vaccine (2 doses) blocked infections for at least 3 months and was effective across 10 different variants
—Reinfections increase the risk of #LongCovid
—mRNA shots don't induce long-lived plasma cells, but we don't know if this is true with other vaccine platforms

Long vacations rarely cure burnout. They usually bring temporary relief.
The frequency of time off from work matters more than the duration. 2 separate week-long vacations are more restorative than a 2-week trip.
Regular breaks are vital to well-being.

Marie Curie died of aplastic anaemia on 4 July 1934, a result of years of exposure to radiation through her work. Even today her laboratory notebook from 1899-1902, is radioactive and will be for 1,500 years.
We should not be afraid of proclaiming the truth, even if it is at times uncomfortable, but of doing so without charity, without heart. #WCD https://t.co/PwJoo0RyQx
