Il vento soffia dove vuole e ne senti la voce, ma non sai da dove viene né dove va (Gv 3,8).
Che merito avevo io? (Bartolomea)

"Ritorniamo alle sorgenti per offrire al mondo l’acqua viva che non trova; e, mentre la società e i social accentuano la violenza delle parole, noi stringiamoci
alla mitezza della Parola di Dio che salva, che è mite,
che non fa rumore, che entra nel cuore"
"Cari migranti: prima di dirvi qualsiasi altra parola, voglio inchinarmi davanti alla vostra dignità. Non siete numeri, né fascicoli! Siete persone con una famiglia e una casa che vi siete lasciata alle spalle, con sogni che nessuno ha il diritto di disprezzare"
Domani inizierà il Mondiale, e molti saranno attenti alle partite. Il calcio ci ricorda qualcosa che non dobbiamo dimenticare: la vita non è una gara per mettersi in mostra da soli, ma un cammino che impariamo a percorrere insieme. Chi non sa passare la palla, anche se ha talento, non ha ancora capito il gioco. E chi non sa vivere con gli altri e per gli altri, non ha ancora capito la vita. #ViaggioApostolico
Quizá España necesitaba un líder con altura de miras que nos ayudara a levantar la mirada hacia lo Alto, lo esencial, lo bello y lo bueno, hacia aquello que de verdad merece la pena. Como usted nos recordó, “la esperanza se construye cada día” desde lo pequeño. Cada uno de sus discursos y encuentros ha dejado una huella imborrable, en creyentes y no creyentes.
¡Gracias por su viaje a España, Santo Padre! @Pontifex

Como jurista, me quedo con una frase del discurso del @Pontifex_es en el @Congreso_Es que debería enmarcarse en cada parlamento: "Una ley no alcanza su verdadera grandeza por el mero hecho de haber sido formalmente aprobada; la alcanza cuando puede comparecer ante la dignidad de la persona y salir de ese examen sin avergonzarse".
El próximo día 10 de junio en el interior de la Basílica se celebrará la misa solemne en homenaje a Antoni Gaudí, oficiada por el Papa León XIV y concelebrada por Cardenales, Obispos y Presb��teros, acompañados por músicos y coros de toda Cataluña que llenarán el interior de la Basílica con su canto. Su presencia conferirá al acto una dimensión única y excepcional y lo situará como uno de los momentos más destacados de la historia reciente de la Sagrada Família.

Ужасный день. Счастлив��й день. День воспоминаний. День хороших людей.
Столько чувств, и все они крепко переплетаются между собой - любовь, нежность, благодарность, тоска. Всё это живёт одновременно и с трудом помещается в слова. Но я пробую. Горестно. Больно. И в то же время - светло и радостно от того, что Алексей был. Что мы были вместе - что это случилось в нашей жизни.
Я очень хочу, чтобы этот день, 4 июня, не проходил незаметно. Чтобы Алексей не забывался. Чтобы вы, как и я, чувствовали его рядом - хотя бы сегодня.
Я очень старалась придумать для вас что-то особенное. И вот получился такой подарок для всех - в этом году мы сделали аудиокнигу мемуаров Алексея «Патриот».
Её читают удивительные, близкие вам люди, которым дорога память о нём. Каждый из них пережил свой кусочек жизни вместе с ним - и вложил в это чтение свою душу. Получилось что-то очень живое, очень тёплое. Когда я слушала, я и плакала, и улыбалась.
Я бесконечно благодарна каждому из тех, кто поучаствовал.
И вам - за то, что помните. За то, что вы есть.
Послушать аудиокнигу можно на сайте издательства. Это бесплатно.

I had 20 patients in my Pediatric War Injuries Clinic today, for follow-up care.
Of the 20 children, Israel had killed one or both parents of 19 of them.

Pope Leo XIV has appointed Maria Montserrat Alvarado, President and Chief Operating Officer of EWTN News, as Prefect of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Communication. The appointment will take effect Nov. 5, 2026.
Since 2023, Alvarado has overseen EWTN News’ global and multilingual news operations across television, radio, print, digital, and social media platforms. During her tenure, she helped expand the network’s international news presence and deepen collaboration across its multilingual platforms.
“Montse’s background in international media, public affairs, and Church engagement has helped shape EWTN’s outreach at a critical moment in the history of our apostolate: the pivot into a deeper engagement with the digital space,” said Michael P. Warsaw, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of EWTN. “Just as importantly, she has remained deeply committed to the mission that defines EWTN: proclaiming the truth of Jesus Christ and the teachings of His Church with clarity, fidelity, and charity.”
Before joining EWTN, Alvarado spent 14 years in leadership roles at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, where she worked extensively on issues related to religious freedom and human dignity.
In a statement released following the appointment, Alvarado said she received the news “with deep gratitude, humility, and trust in the Lord,” adding that the faithful witness of the EWTN family strengthened her faith.
The Dicastery for Communication was established by Pope Francis in 2015 as part of his reform of the Roman Curia, bringing together the Holy See’s various communications entities, including Vatican News, Vatican Radio, L’Osservatore Romano, Vatican Media, the Vatican Publishing house and printing press, Filmoteca Vaticana, and the Holy See Press Office. Appointed for a five year term, the Prefect is responsible for overseeing the entire media network of the Holy See.
Alvarado succeeds Paolo Ruffini, whom Pope Francis appointed in 2018 as the first lay prefect of a dicastery in the Roman Curia. Ruffini said he had come to know Alvarado “over the last couple of years” and will work closely with her in the coming months “in the spirit of communion that unites us in the Church.”
In recent years, Pope Francis entrusted a growing number of leadership roles in the Vatican to lay men and women, including several senior appointments for women religious. Alvarado’s appointment continues that development and marks the first time a woman who has not taken religious vows as a nun or a sister has been appointed to lead a dicastery of the Holy See.
Born in Mexico City, Alvarado earned academic degrees from Florida International University and George Washington University. She has received several national recognitions for her commitment to religious freedom and service to the Church, and her writings and commentary have appeared in a range of international media outlets.
While noting that EWTN would miss Alvarado’s leadership, Warsaw said the network rejoices in her new mission of service to the universal Church.
“We offer her our prayers, our encouragement, and the full support of the EWTN family as she begins this important mission in service to Pope Leo XIV and his pontificate.”

Quand les oiseaux chantent dans votre jardin, votre cerveau reçoit un signal qu'il interprète depuis des centaines de milliers d'années comme une seule information : il n'y a pas de danger. Pas une impression. Un mécanisme.
Dans toute l'histoire évolutive des mammifères, le silence soudain des oiseaux précédait la présence d'un prédateur. Leur chant continu signalait l'inverse : l'environnement est sûr, les ressources sont disponibles, le système nerveux peut sortir de sa vigilance. Ce câblage n'a pas disparu. Des chercheurs de l'Institut Max Planck pour le développement humain à Berlin ont soumis 295 participants à six minutes de chant d'oiseaux ou de bruit de circulation, dans une expérience randomisée publiée dans Scientific Reports en 2022. Le chant des oiseaux a réduit de manière significative l'anxiété et les pensées anxieuses — des effets mesurables sur l'état mental après six minutes d'écoute.
Une étude plus récente a suivi 233 personnes lors d'une promenade de trente minutes dans un parc, en mesurant la pression artérielle, la fréquence cardiaque et le cortisol salivaire avant et après. Le cortisol a chuté en moyenne de 33 %. Les participants qui avaient activement prêté attention au chant des oiseaux autour d'eux ont obtenu des résultats encore plus marqués. Pas besoin d'identifier les espèces. Pas besoin de connaître leur nom. Juste écouter.
Ce qui rend ce signal plus fragile qu'il n'y paraît : la LPO, le Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle et l'Office français de la biodiversité ont publié le bilan de trente ans de comptages. Entre 1989 et 2019, la France a perdu près de 30 % de ses oiseaux communs. Dans les milieux agricoles, un tiers des effectifs a disparu. Merles, mésanges, pinsons, rouge-gorges — les espèces des jardins ordinaires déclinent à mesure que les haies disparaissent, que les insectes se raréfient, que les façades se rénovent sans laisser de cavités.
Le chant du matin n'est pas un fond sonore. C'est un rapport sur l'état du vivant autour de vous.
Ce que votre jardin attire, votre cerveau l'entend.
