The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney

“Donald Trump was elected president 10 months ago, and he and Mr Albanese have never met each other. This is unprecedented. Given the US is our primary security partner, and the world’s most powerful country, it’s also risky.”
