#Peace always begins “here and now” and depends on how we behave, how we look at one another, how we respect one another, and how we listen to one another. If we wish to spread peace, we must first safeguard and nurture it before God, within ourselves and among those dear to us, and then spread it in our communities and in the various spheres of social and political life. #ApostolicJourney #Peru
I would also like to address fathers and grandfathers. Young people need to see that you pray, receive the sacraments, treat your wives with respect, ask for forgiveness and live with integrity, even when doing so requires sacrifice.

Even if your loved ones seem far from God, continue to place them before him. There are doors that you cannot open, but God can. #ApostolicJourney #Uruguay

Grilled Lemongrass Pork Shoulder Banh Mi. Will ask for more jalapeños next time, as recommended by a stranger who noticed me eating my sandwich on a park bench and accurately identified where I had bought it from. I love it when my choices are affirmed by the universe.
