"... we must strongly reject the use of religion for justifying war, violence, or any form of fundamentalism or fanaticism. Instead, the paths to follow are those of fraternal encounter, dialogue and cooperation." Pope Leo XIV - Iznik, Türkiye November 28, 2025

calls us to confront injustice and stand with the oppressed. In every marginalized person, the Liberating Christ restores dignity and urges us to build a world where all can rise.

Reject the spirit of harsh judgment. 🕊️ St. Eugene de Mazenod warned: “…misunderstanding, misjudging, openly criticizing everything… this is a wicked spirit.” Choose mercy over criticism - your kindness can break cycles of hurt. 🙏

This weekend reflection: The Gospel of the rich man & Lazarus isn’t about “rich vs. poor” but about indifference. Christ calls us: see the person at your gate, act with compassion today, and build the bridge so no chasm remains...

Celebrating Mass in our retirement homes is always humbling. In the faces of the sick, the lonely, and the dying, Christ’s presence shines so powerfully. A reminder that even in suffering, God’s love is near, tender, and alive among us. ✨

Homelessness is not just a social issue — it is a human experience, one that is deeply personal, complex, and often heartbreaking. Those who come to our doors are (...) neighbours, children of God, carrying their own stories and burdens.
