Cada barca que llega no trae sólo migrantes; trae consigo una pregunta: ¿qué mundo hemos construido, si tantos hermanos tienen que arriesgarse a morir para buscar la vida? La dignidad humana exige vías legales y seguras, rescate y asistencia, cooperación real contra los traficantes, protección efectiva a las víctimas, procesos serios de acogida e integración y políticas que permitan a cada persona vivir con dignidad en su propia tierra. No podemos acostumbrarnos a contar los muertos. La dignidad humana no tiene pasaporte ni pierde valor al cruzar una frontera. #ViajeApostólico
El cristiano, además de ser bondadoso y amable, ha de ser compasivo, amar sin interés y buscar el bien de los demás, sabiendo que en cada hermano y hermana que sufre es el mismo Señor quien pide y recibe, quien es acogido o rechazado, amado o despreciado.
Mañana comenzará el Mundial, y muchos estarán atentos a los partidos. El fútbol nos recuerda algo que no debemos olvidar: la vida no es una carrera para lucirse en solitario, sino un camino que aprendemos a recorrer juntos. Quien no sabe pasar el balón, aunque tenga talento, todavía no ha entendido el juego. Y quien no sabe vivir con los demás y para los demás, todavía no ha entendido la vida. #ViajeApostólico
Life’s mistakes do not define a person’s identity. If we trust in divine grace and allow ourselves to be guided and transformed by it, we discover in our lives that the past does not condemn the future, but rather offers us the possibility to change our decisions and choices.
Every human being is worthy by the mere fact of having been willed, created, and loved by God. There is no situation that causes the Lord to turn His gaze away from us. It is a consoling truth that accompanies us at all times and reminds us that His merciful love always outweighs whatever good or evil we may have done. #ApostolicJourney

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
La caridad no admite demoras. Esta es nuestra responsabilidad ante quienes están necesitados, una responsabilidad que consagra cada encuentro con el otro como un momento de gracia único e irrepetible para amar, que no hay que perder ni posponer. El amor de Cristo nos empuja hacia los hermanos, y la caridad y la solicitud con que respondemos son la prueba de nuestra fe. #ViajeApostólico #España
The Gospel is much more than a book: it is Christ Himself, the Good News for humanity that is confused, deceived, and disappointed by many evils. He satisfies our thirst for justice and truth, and He instills in us the courage to persevere in doing good and to place ourselves personally at the service of our neighbor.
However, when we discover that our life has value, that we are loved, awaited, and called to carry out a task in the world, then hope is born. This spiritual force sustains life, even in the most difficult moments.
#AI can be a valuable tool and, at the same time, it calls for a measured and vigilant approach. The speed and simplicity with which practical assistance can be accessed undoubtedly makes life easier. Yet they can also encourage excessive reliance and the search for ready-made answers, and weaken personal creativity and judgment. #MagnificaHumanitas
Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
