The Blessed Virgin Mary, assumed into the glory of heaven, is a sign of hope and consolation for the entire People of God. For this reason, I wish to invoke her maternal intercession today on behalf of those communities that are in particular need of consolation and of renewed hope. My thoughts go out to our brothers and sisters in the Holy Land, which is also, par excellence, the Land of Mary. My thoughts also go out to the Ukrainian and Russian peoples, both of whom are united by their filial devotion to the Holy Mother of God, and to Christians who suffer discrimination or even persecution.
There are only a few movies that can make you clap without even realising it.
You don’t plan to. You don’t think about it. Something happens on screen and your hands just start clapping.
#DC is one of those movies.
#2026WorldCup — David Beckham is watching the Scotland vs Brazil match from the stands with a glass of wine.
One of the clearest examples of football being taken away from the working class and handed over to the wealthy.
Let us ask Mary, Queen of Peace, to teach us to renounce hurtful words, hasty judgment, gossip, and slander. May we learn to cherish and nurture love within our families, among friends, in the workplace, on social media, in political debates, and in Christian communities, so that hatred may give way to hope and peace. #ApostolicJourney
If He had only taken me back and didn’t forgive me, it would have been enough.
If He had only forgiven me and didn’t love me, it would have been enough.
But He didn’t stop there.
He gave more.
He died for me on the cross because he loves me.
He always gives more.
Inspired by the Dayenu scene from The Chosen
If Jesus had only noticed me and didn’t come looking for me, it would have been enough.
If He had only come looking for me and didn’t find me, it would have been enough.
If He had only understood me and didn’t hold on to me, it would have been enough.
If He had only held on to me and didn’t keep calling my name, it would have been enough.
If He had only called me and didn’t take me back, it would have been enough.
Pope Leo: For Lent, fast from words that hurt others, disarm language, avoid rash judgment, refrain from speaking ill of those who can't defend themselves. Let's cultivate kindness, respect in our families, friends, at work, on social media, in political debates, in parishes.
