"We live in a time of terrible storms, of growing violence, from knife crime to war. The chasm between rich and poor is every wider. The world order is breaking down. We have no idea of what Artificial Intelligence will yield. If we are not nervous, we ought to be." zenit.org/2026/01/07/p...

“…the world is not saved by sharpening swords, nor by judging, oppressing or eliminating our brothers and sisters. Rather, it is saved by tirelessly striving to understand, forgive, liberate and welcome everyone, without calculation and without fear.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

Happy new year! 🤲🏼🙏🏼 “But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to ransom those under the law, so that we might receive adoption. As proof that you are children, God sent the spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” …

Et lux in tenebris lucet (Ioannem 1:5) Wishing you all a blessed and peaceful Christmas.

"Una vegada [Papa Francesc] va dir: "No existeix un Déu catòlic. Existeix Déu". Es tracta de buscar Déu on es trobi, no on un es pensa que és. Déu pot arribar a una persona de les maneres més inesperades, poètiques i lliures." @antoniospadaro.bsky.social www.elperiodico.cat/ca/oci-i-cul...

Pope on 60th Anniversary of Nostra Aetate: “We walk this journey not by compromising our beliefs, but by remaining true to our convictions. Authentic dialogue begins not in compromise but in conviction – in the deep roots of our own belief that gives us the strength to reach out to others in love.”
