Amoris Laetitia conference member says the event shows “a Church that is moving to a full realisation of the vision of Vatican II & the Synod on Synodality” It is “a church where everyone has a voice” & where there is “a paradigm shift in theology” towards listening, said Father Stanislaus Chu Ilo

As the world marks the Season of Creation, a catastrophic landfill landslide in Guinea has buried innocent families alive under toxic waste. How can nations rich in resources leave their most vulnerable living atop garbage dumps? In his latest article, Fr. Stan Chu Ilo reflects on the Dar-es-Salam waste disaster, structural injustice across African cities, and the urgent call for genuine ecological conversion.

Fr. Stan makes a passionate appeal to everyone to embrace the path of forgiveness on this reflection on the 24th Sunday of the Ordinary time. Drawing from the parable of the unforgiving servant and the wisdom of Sirach, this reflection goes to the heart of the Christian message: to be a Christian is to learn to forgive. Forgiveness is the path to a better future. It opens the door to healing from the hurts, betrayals, and wounds we carry through life. Yet forgiveness is often difficult, especially when the wound is deep or the person who caused it shows little remorse. This homily explores why forgiveness can be so hard and how, through God’s grace, we can gradually let go of anger, resentment, and bitterness. Forgiving someone does not always mean returning to a harmful relationship or placing ourselves back in a situation where we may be wounded. Sometimes forgiveness means placing the person and the painful experience in God's hands and learning to walk away with a clean heart. It means refusing to allow the person who hurt us to continue living rent-free in our minds and controlling our emotions. Forgiveness is choosing mercy over bitterness, freedom over resentment, and life over the burden of the past. It is learning to speak life again, to ourselves, to others, and to creation, without carrying yesterday’s wounds into tomorrow. In the end, forgiveness is not simply something we do for the person who hurt us. Forgiveness is also a gift we give ourselves. There is no future without forgiveness. youtu.be/IJndp6mSQX0?si=e-QW… @OrbisBooks @Pontifex @OSV @CardinalBCupich @aciafricanews @paddygilgersj @PeterObi @silerenonpossum @JamesMartinSJ @commonwealmag @USCCB @PaxChristiUSA @GregBurkeRome

The Pope is arriving in Paris like a rock star next month, taking centre stage at a mass rally of French youth in the Stade de France. The stadium's 80,000 seats were quickly snapped up online for Leo XIV's evening prayer vigil on 25 September. The following day, the Pope will celebrate an open-air mass in Place de la Concorde. More than 200,000 worshippers have already reserved places and a sea of 300,000 faithful are expected to congregate in the nearby Champs-Élysées. ✍️ Matthew Fraser Article | spectator.com/article/france… | @frasermatthew
