The elevation of Pope Leo XIV is a profound and historic occasion. Like so many around the world, I am praying for him and wishing him and the Church well as his papacy begins.

The idea that we must first speak to God, emptying ourselves, to truly "hear" Him is helpful. It reflects that paradoxical truth in our spiritual journey: the necessity of being both active and receptive in our relationship with God. Thank you for sharing!
Mohammad Sarwar was the first Muslim to be elected as a member of the British parliament. Here he is, standing in the centre of Glasgow, calling for the introduction of a global blasphemy law, and for those who break it to be ‘brought to justice’. These fundamentalists must be resisted. Never give in to them.
