12 years on, people ask: how can we follow the path the Pope is calling us to? For parishes, communities and the curious, I have written a retreat “with” Francis, based on the Ignatian Exercises which shaped him. In English, español, français, italiano and português.
Delighted to receive copies of this authoritative book by Jesuits Juan Guerrero & Oscar Martín López on the art, craft, theology and practice of conversation in the Spirit. I was privileged to translate it into English from Spanish. Prologue by Francis. From @MgrPublications
“This is not self-defence. It is not even the kind of collateral damage which can be unavoidable in war. It is collective punishment, in other words revenge, visited not just on Hamas but on an entire population. It is, in short, a war crime.” newstatesman.com/world/middle-e…
Powerful truths named here. “We cannot without hypocrisy criticise the wholesale violation of civilised standards by Russia in Ukraine, and tacitly endorse them when practised by Israel in Gaza.” newstatesman.com/world/middle-e…
"The world can't take it anymore," Pope Leo condemns Israel's deadly military attack on the only Catholic Church in Gaza, calling for an end to the "barbarity." Full story: ow.ly/IkBM50Wsj83 (CNS photos/Vatican Media)
Hello @grok, which person in history am I most similar to? Please take into consideration all of my tweets, my bio and all information in general.
@CardinalNichols on preparing Ralph Fiennes for his *Conclave* role: “We spent about three hours together and I said to him, ‘do you want to try on the kit?’ so he did”. @CPsPepTalk in @The_Tablet thetablet.co.uk/news/pope-leo-…
Calm, saddened, but still smiling, Fr Romanelli, parish priest of Holy Family, Gaza, recounts the Israeli attack on the church: those who died and those who survived with wounds, many of them long-term. Netanyahu claims it was a mistake, but it’s happened many times since 2023.

Every single day, starving innocents are being massacred. How many more thousands have to die before our Western governments take firm action? At least 32 Palestinians killed in Gaza as IDF fires on crowds seeking food. Witnesses say scenes near Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid…
Thank you to all who came and to @BelmontAbbeyUK for hosting and to @ctrlamb for fascinating insights into papal transition.
Wonderful to welcome Chris Lamb & Austen Ivereigh to Belmont this morning. Great turn out too for this latest Deanery Talk from afar afield as Surrey and Germany!!!
“The papacy of Francis represented a decoupling of Catholicism from the West; the papacy of Leo unfolds when America itself—seeking to become a certain kind of America “again”—is seen as a problem in the West.” commonwealmagazine.org/leo-xiv-trump-…

In the wake of the Israeli strike on the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza, Pope Leo XIV and Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speak by phone, with the Pope reaffirming the urgent need to protect places of worship and achieve a ceasefire. loom.ly/l51VhoE
Il Santo Padre Leone XIV ha ricevuto, stamani, una telefonata da parte del Primo Ministro di Israele, S.E. il Sig. Benjamin Netanyahu.
“I condemn this appalling strike on the Holy Family Church in Gaza, pray for the dead and injured, and stand in solidarity with Fr Gabriel Romanelli and the people sheltering in the compound – Christians and Muslims alike.” @CardinalNichols cbcew.org.uk/cardinal-nicho…
Big day here in Herefordshire for English Benedictine Congregation:
PAX! Today we warmly welcome the monks of The Community of St Gregory The Great (formerly at Downside) to live with us at Belmont. We pray that this time of discernment together may be blessed by an openness to the Holy Spirit and guided by the Rule of our Holy Father Benedict.
And now this:
The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem says the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza was struck on Thursday morning. Fr. Gabriel Romanelli, the parish priest, has sustained injuries, along with several other people, and the Church has been damaged.
“A believer may be untrue to everything that his faith demands of him, and yet think he is close to God and better than others….Paradoxically, those who claim to be unbelievers can sometimes put God’s will into practice better than believers.” Pope Francis on the Good Samaritan
Ver sin pasar de largo, detener nuestras carreras ajetreadas, dejar que la vida del otro, sea quien sea, con sus necesidades y sufrimientos, me rompan el corazón. Esto nos hace prójimos los unos de los otros, genera una auténtica fraternidad, derriba muros y vallas.
