I would like to share some thoughts on my recent #ApostolicJourney to #France with the motto “That the world may have life” (cf. Jn 6:51). God alone, through his grace, can restore the Church and renew humanity, and this is precisely what is occurring in Paris, Lourdes and Metz.

"I'm only human and I have no doubt Spock will outlive me by many years. I can only hope that, once in a while, when people look at Spock's visage, they might sometimes think of me."

Sixty years ago, when I was 10 years old, the Nimoy clan went to visit some family friends so we could watch the premiere of Star Trek on a color TV. Shortly thereafter, magazine photographers began to appear at our house in West LA and sacks of fan mail were delivered to our
