"Il Patriarca aveva sospeso anche la grande processione da Gerusalemme e lui andava senza tutto il cerimoniale. E' stata una grande sorpresa ...non buona. " Padre Gabriel Romanelli a #CTCF sulla scelta di Israele di non far entrare il Cardinale Pizzaballa e Ielpo nel Santo Sepolcro per le Palme

This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: “Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood” (Is 1:15).

“Peacemaking takes much more courage and strength than warfare.” Pope Francis

Pope Leo expressed concern about a rising tenor of animosity in the expanding Iran war, repeating calls for a ceasefire amid reports that the US is planning to send thousands of soldiers to the Middle East in a military buildup

Pope Leo XIV renews his call for a ceasefire in the war on Iran, urging leaders to pursue peace through dialogue rather than weapons as hatred and violence deepen and more than one million people remain forcibly displaced.

On this day in 1980, whilst celebrating Mass in the small hospital chapel where Archbishop Romero lived, a lone marksman shot & killed him. Let us keep alive Romero’s memory, inspired by him & his deep love for Christ & the people he walked alongside #StOscarRomero pray for us
