On the first anniversary of the birth into heaven of our dear #PopeFrancis, his words and actions remain written in our hearts. We carry on his legacy by always proclaiming the joy of the Gospel, announcing God’s mercy, and promoting fraternity among all men and women.
BREAKING:
Speaking to reporters aboard the papal plane to Algeria on Monday, Pope Leo XIV said:
“I think that the people who read will be able to draw their own conclusions: I am not a politician, I have no intention of entering into a debate with him. Rather, let us always seek peace and put an end to wars. I am not afraid of the Trump administration. I speak about the Gospel, I am not a politician. I do not think the message of the Gospel should be abused in the way some people are doing. I will continue to speak out loudly against war, to try to promote peace, multilateral dialogue between states in order to seek the right solution to problems. The message of the Church is the message of the Gospel, blessed are the peacemakers; I do not see my role as that of a politician, I do not want to enter into a debate with him. Too many people are suffering in the world.”
Today we commemorate Good Friday, the day of Christ’s Passion and Death on the Cross—the most solemn day of the Church’s year. Here are 4 things to know:
1️⃣ Mass is not celebrated: instead, the liturgy centers on the Passion and the adoration of the Cross.
2️⃣ A day of fasting and abstinence: Catholics are called to penance through fasting and abstaining from meat.
3️⃣ The Church is bare: altars are stripped, and silence marks the solemnity of the day.
4️⃣ The liturgical color is red: symbolizing Christ’s blood, sacrifice, and love poured out for humanity.
Today, the Church stands at the foot of the Cross, contemplating the mystery of redemption. ✝️

be kind, always.
kita ga pernah tau seberat apa dunia seseorang hari ini. dia keliatan fine, ketawa ketawa, jalanin hari kaya biasa padahal deep down dia lagi parah banget, berjuang mati matian untuk sekedar bertahan hidup.
'Thanks' (고맙다) was made while they were being chased by the deadline. It was made in the midst of Woozi and Bumzu preparing for other works, SEVENTEEN doing Clap activities and also preparing for the year-end award ceremonies at the same time.
Woozi prepared 8 songs, but all were thrown away. When they were chased by the deadline, they miraculously made it in one night, and Woozi said it was made just because he was really thankful for everything.
'Thanks' is such a special song because Woozi said whenever he let others hear a new song, there would be different opinions among the members but not for 'Thanks', all the members said it was good.
Seungkwan said “Woozi-hyung went through a lot. In that situation (in the midst of a busy schedule and the fact that 8 songs were thrown away), one day he came and played a song titled ‘Thanks.’ All the members said it was good, and only then did Woozi Hyung’s face brighten up. I want to say he worked really hard.”
Happy 8th Anniversary, THANKS 🩷
The #Eragon TV series at Disney+ has taken a big step forward.
Todd Harthan and Todd Helbing have joined the project as co-showrunners, with Harthan set as co-creator on the show alongside “Eragon” author Christopher Paolini. All three will serve as executive producers.
Variety exclusively reported “Eragon” was in development at Disney+ back in 2022. The official logline for the show states, “When destiny selects an ordinary teenager to become the first Dragon Rider in over a hundred years, he must forge an unbreakable bond with his dragon, master ancient magic, and challenge the mad king who destroyed the Riders.”

Tiga hal penting:
- Tidak ada kata 'maaf' disampaikan oleh presiden.
- Penggunaan kata 'petugas'. Kenapa tidak menyebut nama institusinya?
- Penggunaan kalimat 'Bangsa kita sedang berbenah diri.' Betul. Dan bangsa ini sedang di ambang revolusi. Lihat sejarah dunia dan bandingkan.
Saudara-saudara sekalian,
Saya telah mengikuti perkembangan beberapa hari ini, terutama peristiwa tadi malam, di mana terjadi demonstrasi yang mengarah kepada tindakan anarkis. Juga ada peristiwa di mana seorang petugas menabrak pengemudi ojek online yang mengakibatkan almarhum Affan Kurniawan tadi malam meninggal dunia.
Atas nama pribadi dan Pemerintah Republik Indonesia, saya mengucapkan turut berduka cita dan menyampaikan bela sungkawa yang sedalam-dalamnya. Saya sangat prihatin dan sangat sedih terjadi peristiwa ini. Pemerintah akan menjamin kehidupan keluarganya, serta memberikan perhatian khusus kepada orang tuanya, adik-adiknya, dan kakak-kakaknya.
Sekali lagi, saya terkejut dan kecewa dengan tindakan petugas yang berlebihan. Saya telah memerintahkan agar insiden tadi malam diusut secara tuntas dan transparan, serta petugas-petugas yang terlibat harus bertanggung jawab. Seandainya ditemukan bahwa mereka berbuat di luar kepatutan dan ketentuan yang berlaku, kita akan ambil tindakan sekeras-kerasnya sesuai hukum yang berlaku.
Dalam situasi seperti ini, saya menghimbau masyarakat untuk tenang. Untuk percaya kepada pemerintah yang saya pimpin. Pemerintah yang saya pimpin akan berbuat yang terbaik untuk rakyat. Semua keluhan masyarakat akan kami catat dan tindak lanjuti.
Saya juga menghimbau kepada seluruh bangsa Indonesia untuk selalu waspada. Ada unsur-unsur yang selalu ingin huru-hara, yang ingin chaos. Saya sampaikan kepada seluruh rakyat bahwa hal tersebut tidak menguntungkan rakyat, tidak menguntungkan masyarakat, tidak menguntungkan bangsa kita.
Bangsa kita sedang berbenah diri. Bangsa kita sedang mengumpulkan semua tenaga, kekuatan, kekayaan, untuk kita bangkit membangun negara yang kuat, sejahtera, serta berhasil mengatasi kemiskinan dan kelaparan. Kita akan menjadi bangsa yang maju, yang mandiri, yang berdiri di atas kaki sendiri.
Untuk itu, kita harus waspada, kita harus tenang, dan kita tidak boleh mengizinkan kelompok-kelompok yang ingin membuat huru-hara dan kerusuhan. Aspirasi yang sah, silakan untuk disampaikan. Kita akan perbaiki semua yang perlu diperbaiki.
Saya kira itu pesan saya.
Terima kasih. Merdeka!
WE ALL SAW THE VIDEO. YOU KILLED HIM. YOU DIDNT BACK UP. YOU DROVE OVER HIM. THEN YOU DROVE AWAY. BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS. WE DESERVE TO RUN YOU OVER TENFOLD, SO CALLED PROTECTORS.
A LIFE FOR A LIFE.
