@7ettedecoppe Buona valutazione della situazione. Forza Roma sempre!

Grazie, Claudio. Sei stato l’ultimo baluardo di una Roma che non esiste più.
Hai preso la squadra in macerie, l’hai rimessa in piedi. Hai dato dignità a un club allo sbando. Ci hai fatto sognare per un po’.
Poi hai sbagliato. Hai attaccato Gasperini in pubblico e hai rotto l’equilibrio. E a Trigoria il potere non perdona.
I Friedkin non mediano. Aspettano. Logorano. Colpiscono. E tu sei stato il primo a cadere.
Ma questo non cancella il bene che hai fatto alla Roma.
Sei stato l’uomo che ha salvato la baracca quando nessuno voleva sporcarsi le mani. Per questo, grazie.
Ora la Roma sceglie Gasperini. Sarà l’uomo forte. Forse vincerà, forse no. Ma se cadrà, sarà il prossimo.
Tu eri l’ultimo di una certa idea di calcio: passione, cuore, attaccamento alla maglia.
Per questo, grazie. E in bocca al lupo, mister.

The care of the weakest is a very important sign of the quality of the social life of a nation. Let us remember that the elderly are in need of assistance, but first and foremost need to be listened to, because they preserve the wisdom of a people. We owe them gratitude, because they have faced great difficulties for the good of the community. #ApostolicJourney #Angola

Presiding over his first Easter Sunday Mass in St. Peter's Square as pontiff, Pope Leo acknowledged that the Easter message of hope and light is not always easy to accept, since the power of death constantly threatens us both interiorly and externally.
Yet, the Risen Christ gives us certain hope, the Pope concluded, which is much needed in the world today.

The wars that stain the present moment with blood are the fruit of the idolatry of power and money. Let us not grow accustomed to the clamor of weapons and images of war! #Peace is not merely a balance of power. It is the work of purified hearts, of those who see others as brothers and sisters to be protected, not enemies to be defeated. #ApostolicJourney vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

On behalf of the Christians of the #MiddleEast, and of all women and men of good will, I appeal to those responsible for this conflict: cease fire! May paths of dialogue be reopened! Violence can never lead to the justice, stability and peace for which the peoples are waiting.

@JamesMartinSJ Mi más sentido pésame @JamesMartinSJ . What a loving tribute which brought tears to my eyes. My mom is the same age. I pray for courage when the day of our earthly separation arrives. I will have you and your family in my prayers. Dios los bendiga... 🙏🏼

Please pray for the eternal rest of my mother, Eleanor Spano Martin, who died today at 94 in Abington, Pa. She had only recently developed pneumonia which quickly led to her death this afternoon. I can’t express in words what my sister and I are feeling, how grateful I am to God for her long life, how sad the last few days have been, how devastating it was to see her gasp for air this morning and how moving it was to see the hospice nurse rub her lips with a sponge, which made me cry when I thought about Jesus on the Cross.
Today I want to thank my sister Carolyn for being my mom’s selfless and primary caregiver, especially after she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and then dementia; for Charles for being a wonderful son in law and for Charles and Matthew for being beloved grandsons.
A few days ago, I was terrified I would be stuck in California because of the blizzard, and I called my mom to tell her how I would do everything to get home and she said, through her oxygen mask, “Goody gumdrops.” I thank God I got home early this morning, that a kind Jesuit plowed the car out for me yesterday so that I could drive from New York to Philly at 2 AM, pray the Rosary next to her bed (“now and at the hour of our death”), anoint her with Lourdes water and, most of all, tried to thank her for everything she had done for me: from giving me life, to driving me to school, to teaching me to draw, to baking birthday cakes, to cooking dinners, to encouraging me in my studies, to dealing with the shock of my Jesuit vocation, to being friends with all my friends, to being the biggest fan of anything I wrote or said or did. She wasn’t perfect but she was my mom in every way.
The other day the First Reading was how God’s word goes out, does its work and returns to God. I kept thinking about my mom when we read it during a Mass at a friend’s house in California, especially since I was desperate to get home. Today, I kept looking at her frail body that had been through so much in the last few years—cancer, dementia, frequent falls, stitches—and saw how spent it was after it had done what God had asked it to do
Nothing I could write could describe my unbelievable sadness or my deep gratitude at being with her in her last moments, as she was with me in my first moments. It would take dozens of books.
Mom, I wish you sky-blue-pink days with your beloved mother and father, your brothers Larry and Louis, my dad, and all those who loved and knew you. Please pray for me and Carolyn. Saying goodbye to you today, and hugging you goodbye, was almost impossible, but I know we will see each other in the fullness of time. Love you, Mom.

It is with deep concern that I am following the developments in Venezuela. The good of the beloved Venezuelan people must prevail over every other consideration. This must lead to the overcoming of violence, and to the pursuit of paths of justice and peace. I pray for all this, and I invite you to pray too, entrusting our prayer to the intercession of Our Lady of Coromoto, and to Saints José Gregorio Hernández and Carmen Rendiles. #PrayTogether

Happy bday from across the pond to @rickyaross, member of one of my favorite bands, @deaconbluemusic. He's a great songwriter and this song is hitting deep today.
