Reading the news from @KompasID which quotes Pope's @Pontifex advice from yesterday. I hope it can inspire people around the world, especially Indonesia. #ApostolicJourney #PopeFrancis Here’s the translation in English: "Then, he said, the devil is in the pocket, in the sense of money, which influences people when they no longer have a loving heart; then money will make people act like devils. They become hostile to others, exploiting them, just because they idolize money. So, money indeed becomes a temptation when there is no willingness to empathize and share," he stated.

Today, September 4th, 2024, the Catholic Church celebrates the feast day of Saint Rosalia. Here's a brief overview of her: Saint Rosalia (also known as La Santuzza or "The Little Saint" in Sicilian) is the patron saint of Palermo, Sicily. She was born into a noble family in Sicily but chose a life of solitude and penance, retreating to a cave on Mount Pellegrino where she lived as a hermit. Life and Legend: According to tradition, Rosalia died alone in her cave around 1160. Her remains were rediscovered in 1624 during a time of plague in Palermo. Following her remains' procession through the city, the plague reportedly ceased, leading to her veneration as a protector against disease. Veneration: After her remains were found, she was declared the patron saint of Palermo. Her feast day, which was initially celebrated on July 15th due to the end of the plague, is also observed on September 4th in many places, including in the liturgical calendar for some regions or by certain groups within the Catholic Church. Legacy: Saint Rosalia's story embodies themes of solitude, repentance, and divine protection. Her cult became particularly strong in Palermo, where her feast is celebrated with significant public festivities, including processions and fireworks. This information reflects the general celebration of Saint Rosalia, though specific liturgical practices might vary by region or diocese within the Catholic Church. For the most accurate liturgical celebration, one would typically refer to the local or universal Catholic calendar for the current year, which might list special commemorations or shifts in feast days due to liturgical priorities or local customs. #feastofthesaint #Catholics #CatholicFeast

Pope Francis has embarked on a historic 12-day tour of the Asia-Pacific region, marking this as the longest and farthest trip of his pontificate. Here's what's happening: - Starting Point: The tour began in Indonesia, where Pope Francis arrived to kick off his visit with a focus on interfaith dialogue and environmental concerns. Despite health challenges, the 87-year-old pontiff is using a wheelchair for mobility during this trip. - Itinerary: After Indonesia, Pope Francis will travel to Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste, and conclude in Singapore. This journey not only spans significant geographical distances but also aims to engage with diverse religious and cultural contexts. - Purpose and Themes: Interfaith Dialogue: A significant aspect of his visit to Indonesia, which has the world's largest Muslim population, includes meetings at the Istiqlal Mosque, emphasizing religious tolerance and coexistence. Environmental Concerns: The Pope will likely address climate change and ecological issues, continuing his advocacy for environmental stewardship as seen in his encyclical "Laudato Si'." Social Issues: In places like Timor-Leste, attention will be given to issues like poverty, unemployment, and the diaspora of young people seeking better opportunities abroad. Cultural and Religious Significance: This tour highlights the growth of the Catholic Church in the Asia-Pacific, where it's one of the few regions seeing an increase in baptized faithful and religious vocations. The Pope's visit underscores the Church's commitment to reaching out to marginalized communities, which he refers to as going to the "peripheries." - Health Considerations: Given his age and recent health issues, this trip is seen as a testament to Pope Francis's commitment to his pastoral duties, even under challenging physical conditions. - Public and Media Attention: The tour has garnered significant interest, with media coverage focusing on the Pope's interactions, messages, and the physical demands of such an extensive journey. This tour not only serves as a pilgrimage but also as a diplomatic and spiritual outreach, aiming to foster peace, understanding, and environmental consciousness across different cultures and religions in the Asia-Pacific region. teapawt.net/AFP/status/18308339477…

He is a very humble person: 1. He flew to Indonesia with an Italian air common plane, instead of a glamorous jet, although he is a super leader 2. He chose to ride a Toyota Innova, instead of Mercy or BMW. 3. He sat in the front seat next to the driver, instead of the back seat like most VVIPs. 4. He stays in the embassy, instead of a 5-star hotel or palace. 5. He left the plane last from the backdoor, instead of the first person. It is possible that he gets the welcoming committee to prepare the front door ready with his wheelchair. He is a patron for all people, especially Indonesia which has a lot of issues.

So cute

Unlike someone. Our Pope is very humble.

Can't wait for it.
