A year has passed since the historical gesture of Pope Benedict XVI – done in all conscience, with courage and great humility. That gesture changed the face of the Church and we remember him with our hearts full of gratitude.
In his last Angelus, on February 24, 2013, we were touched by his words: «The Lord is calling me “to scale the mountain”, to devote myself even more to prayer and meditation.»
Thank you Pope Benedict for having been an instrument of the Holy Spirit!
Mutual love
In the trust that Jesus places in us, each one can find the strength to love as he teaches and the ability to bear witness to that love as the disciples did.In love it is possible to go beyond ourselves and our weaknesses. When Jesus dwells in us, what he works is nothing short of wonderful.
Eliminate every desire of power. In a world constantly torn apart by conflict and in following Pope Leo XIV’s invitation to build an “unarmed and disarming” peace, we want to share a reflection by Chiara Lubich that is extremely relevant for us today, taken from a 1981 Word of Life.
How can we become peacemakers in our everyday lives, right where we are? Anibelka Gómez, from the Dominican Republic, shares her story, showing how education can build human networks that sow beauty for the good of entire communities.
