St. Sharbel Makhlouf (1828–1898) was a Lebanese Maronite monk and hermit known for his deep prayer, humility, and love of silence. After his death, many miracles were attributed to his intercession. Canonized in 1977, he is one of the most beloved saints of the Middle East.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of the legendary Kevin Keegan and mourn his loss. His indomitable spirit and remarkable contribution will be forever etched in our history and his legacy will live on.

Rest in peace, Kevin. 1951-2026

The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

As evidenced by the unbridled promotion and implementation of technology at the expense of human dignity, we are truly experiencing an eclipse of the sense of what it means to be human. It is imperative to recover an understanding of the true meaning and grandeur of humanity as intended by God. It is in this sense that the challenge we currently face is not technological, but anthropological, and it is my hope that the Encyclical Letter to be published within a few days will contribute to answering this challenge.

That was the best they've played for some time. Curtis near perfect.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The rich ethical principles and patterns of thought that are the intellectual patrimony of Christian Europe are essential for safeguarding the divinely bestowed rights and inherent worth of every human person, from conception to natural death. They are also fundamental for responding to the challenges presented by poverty, social exclusion, and economic deprivation, as well as by the ongoing climate crisis, violence and war. https://t.co/ia9U7wZaQ8

An extraordinary day in the South Korean calendar.

[The Korea Herald 코리아헤럴드 @TheKoreaHerald]

The annual CSAT kicked off this morning, with tens of thousands—students, retakers, and even 77-year-old Seo Hye-sook—facing 9+ hours of testing. Families cheered them on, while police helped latecomers make it before the 8:10 a.m. deadline.

Today is the Feast of St. Martin de Porres, a Dominican friar from Peru. Among the many miracles attributed to him were those of levitation, bilocation, miraculous knowledge, and instantaneous cures. Patron Saint of mixed-race people and race relations.

On this Solemnity of All Saints, it is a great joy to include Saint John Henry Newman among the Doctors of the Church, and, at the same time, on the occasion of the Jubilee of the World of Education, to name him, together with Saint Thomas Aquinas, as co-Patron of the Church’s educational mission.
