Honest to God never thought I’d see a Papal letter (235 pages long) with Safeguarding in the title …. AI either…knock me over with a feather.

Took this pic of the refectory in old Santa Marta, just below the office, Daughters of Charity who sprinkle forgotten corners with simple joy, it is pure Christmas in its humble presence. #GodBlessSisters

@Pontifex to declare St John Henry Newman Doctor of the Church, it will be one hell of a celebration @LondonOrat I wonder if @ucddublin created from 'The Idea of a University' written by founding Rector St John Henry Newman, will follow suit. Eitherway great news!!

Just wondering if @ConclaveSeagull will introduce us to their friends? A lot more crowded up there on that roof this #conclave25

No flag, no pontifical guard, doors closed #Conclave2025 what next for Santa Marta, for the Church? The world waits….

[Emer McCarthy @emfmcc]

Blue skies on what was a momentous day. Until we meet again…

On the eve of Divine Mercy Sunday you, who made Mercy your motto, will be laid to rest. Thank you for your unwavering faith and humanity.
