Grazie, #PapaFrancesco. A 1 mese dalla tua morte, ti ricordo con gratitudine per quello che hai dato alla Chiesa e al mondo. E mi piace ricordati così, non solo per il tuo sorriso, ma per la tua capacità di piegarti, abbassarti, sbilanciarti, abbracciare, farti abbracciare.

Questa è una immagine che offende i credenti, insulta le istituzioni e dimostra che il capo della destra mondiale si diverte a fare il clown. Nel frattempo l’economia americana rischia la recessione e il dollaro perde valore. I sovranisti fanno danni, ovunque

Who knows whether we who boast of being in the institutional, hierarchical Church... are not less holy than those who perhaps live outside the Church but have simpler hearts, greater respect for others, and a profound appreciation of God and his Spirit! —St Oscar Romero

The charisms and the marvellous gifts that God gives for the good of the whole Church should not be monopolized by anyone —St Oscar Romero, 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time (B), 1979 #StOscarRomero #Gifts #God

Del mordersi la lingua. A 40 anni di distanza non abbiamo ancora imparato questo prezioso insegnamento di Italo Calvino

Simply as human beings we are the same. And the 8 billion people alive today will only survive by acknowledging that we belong to one human family. This is how we create a truly peaceful world—by keeping in mind what we all have in common and being helpful to each other. This can be our #PeaceDayChallenge

71 years ago today, on Sept. 21, 1953, the young Jorge Mario Bergoglio — now Pope Francis — went to confession before a party and had an experience of mercy that became a decisive moment in his life and would lead to his vocation as a #Jesuit priest.https://t.co/HhVXH8uNy0

We are living in a dark night, but Christians can discern beyond the night the glow of dawn, and they carry in their hearts the hope that never fails. Christ walks by our side! Let us not fear! —St Oscar Romero, 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time (B), 1979 #StOscarRomero #Christians

[The Romero Trust @RomeroTrust]

I ask all of you to remain closely united with our priests. Let us try to help them so that all their discourse and all their action may be truly as we want it to be, a discourse of a living Gospel, not a dead one! —#StOscarRomero, 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time (B) 1979

Wishing you a happy feast of St Ignatius of Loyola.

His journey from a soldier to a spiritual leader reminds us of the transformative power of faith and dedication. May we continue to draw inspiration from the life and teachings of St Ignatius.
