In the era of #ArtificialIntelligence, when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human. We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace. #MagnificaHumanitas vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

5 years ago, I told God, “I don’t want to do a building project. I will only do one if you open the door and turn on the lights. Today, we started the first phase on a major renovation of our church. Thanks be to God and the wonderfully generous support of our benefactors!

On the day I was entrusted with the ministry of the Successor of Peter, exactly one year ago, the Church celebrated the Supplication to Our Lady of the Holy Rosary of #Pompeii. I therefore had to come here, to place my service under the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary. #PastoralVisit vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

From the beginning of my pontificate, I have thought about a journey in #Africa. I thank the Lord for granting me the opportunity to undertake it, as Shepherd, in order to encounter and encourage the people of God, as well as to offer a message of #Peace at a time in history marked by wars and serious and frequent violations of international law. #GeneralAudience

Après l'agression choquante subie par notre compatriote religieuse à Jérusalem, je lui ai exprimé ma vive émotion, mon soutien et mes voeux de prompt rétablissement. L'auteur de cet acte odieux a été arrêté. La sanction doit être exemplaire pour que cessent les actes anti-chrétiens qui se multiplient en Terre sainte et que la France, attachée à sa mission historique de protection des communautés et lieux saints catholiques, ne peut en aucun cas tolérer.

In Tallinn, Estonia, Lay Dominicans, young adults, and inquirers gathered for a retreat led by fr. Cristóbal Torres Iglesias, OP. The weekend reflected on the many ways lay men and women live the mission of the Order in prayer, culture, art, and service.

Fr. @OPoquillon took to X to condemn the “unprovoked assault” on the nun as an “act of sectarian violence” and called on authorities to “act swiftly and firmly.” osvnews.com/suspect-arrest…

Today, 30th of April, is the feast of Saint Pius V, a son of the @Dominican_Order who was a great promoter of the Rosary. It was St Pius V who established the Hail Mary in the form we now know as the universal norm; it was he who first wrote about the form of the Rosary that we all know and love, and he promoted it universally in 1569, and finally it was he in 1571 who led the city of Rome and the Rosary Confraternity members in prayer when the Christian world was under attack by the Muslim Ottoman naval forces, and he subsequently established the feast of the Holy Rosary to be celebrated on the first Sunday of October, in thanksgiving for the victory won on the 7th of October by the Holy League, which he had personally financed for the defence of the Christian people in Europe. flic.kr/p/2saoHys 📷This stained glass window of the pope praying during the battle of Lepanto is from the Basilica of Our Lady of Luján in Argentina. 🙏My homily for today can be read here: tmblr.co/Z_p5txjGRlNXCa…

La France condamne fermement l'agression hier à Jérusalem contre une religieuse française de @EBAFJerusalem.

La France appelle à ce que l'auteur de l'agression soit traduit en justice pour cet acte et que justice soit rendue.

‼️Jérusalem : en fin d’après-midi, à proximité du Cénacle, une religieuse chercheuse à @EBAFJerusalem a été victime d’une agression gratuite. Nous condamnons vivement cet acte de violence sectaire et attendons des autorités qu’elles agissent vite et avec fermeté. #HateCrimeData
