I renew my appeal for an end to the ongoing violence against the Palestinian civilian population in the West Bank, and I urgently call on the international community to work toward advancing the two-state solution, for a just and lasting peace.

French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron arrived at the Vatican today, where Macron held a private meeting with Pope Leo XIV and exchanged gifts with the pontiff. Their talks focused mainly on the war in the Middle East, focusing on Lebanon.
This was the French president’s first meeting with Pope Leo XIV. Macron’s last papal meeting was with Pope Francis in Ajaccio, France, in 2024.

Strong words from Pope Leo on Palm Sunday in which he repeated that Jesus is the “King of Peace” 7 times in his homily.
“Christ, King of Peace, cries out again from his cross: God is love! Have mercy! Lay down your weapons! Remember that you are brothers and sisters,” the pope said.

Wishing the Irish in Ireland and around the world a Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
Ukraine deeply appreciates Ireland’s significant support at the political, economic, and humanitarian level, as well as the shelter your country has given to thousands of Ukrainians.
May peace and plenty bless your world
With a joy that long endures
And may all life’s passing seasons
Bring the best to you and yours.

Pope Leo to journalists today: "It is up to you to show the sufferings that war always brings to the people; to show the face of war and to relate it through the eyes of the victims, so as not to transform it into a videogame. It is not easy [...], but this is the challenge."

In the dramatic circumstances of war, information must guard against the risk of turning into propaganda. It is every journalist's duty to verify the news, so as not to become a megaphone for power. They must show the suffering that war always brings to populations, which entails showing the face of war and recounting it through the eyes of victims.

Catholic philanthropist and media tycoon Jimmy Lai has been sentenced to 20 years in prison, in a bogus show trial by the Chinese Communist Party.
Lai, 78, has donated millions to Catholic causes, especially the persecuted underground Church in China, and has been Joseph Cardinal Zen’s biggest financial backer.

Caravaggio, crowning of thorns, a photo I took in the Kunsthistorisches in Vienna, and The taking of Christ, National Gallery Dublin, 1602. Draw your attention to the armour and the models used in both paintings. Both paintings produced roughly in the same year.

Davanti ad ogni presepe, anche quelli realizzati nelle nostre case, noi riviviamo la nascita di Gesù e riscopriamo la necessità di cercare momenti di silenzio e di preghiera nella nostra vita, per ritrovare noi stessi ed entrare in comunione con Dio. #Natale

'What you have by heart, the bastards cannot touch, they cannot take it from you ... What you don't know by heart, you really haven't loved deeply enough.'
