Thanks to National Security Adviser-turned U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz for his leadership, supporting religious freedom in the Holy Land and Catholic international humanitarian assistance @USAmbUN
As anti-Christian bias continues to flare up around the world, the U.S. will always stand up for persecuted believers. Great to see Vatican Cardinal Secretary of State Parolin during UNGA high-level week.

Two days ago marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks in the United States of America. I renew my prayers for those who lost their lives and for those who continue to bear the wounds of that tragic day. At a time when conflict and violence afflict so many of our brothers and sisters, I invite everyone to pray that the Lord will bestow his gift of peace upon the world.

In the #GospelOfTheDay (cf. Mt 18:21-35) Jesus reminds us that gift and forgiveness are the foundation of our existence. All things are given to us by God out of pure love, and none of us can claim to be perfect in responding to such goodness. For this reason, gratuitousness — which is the source of our existence — is also the best rule for our life together.

My heart is united with the suffering of the people of #Ukraine, who have lived in anguish and fear for years. I renew my appeal to put an end to the violence, halt the destruction, and open hearts to dialogue and #peace! I hope that the efforts undertaken in recent days to resume negotiations will bear concrete fruit and make room for diplomacy. Let us #PrayTogether to the Lord that concord may prevail in every conflict throughout the world.

Every human being is worthy by the mere fact of having been willed, created, and loved by God. There is no situation that causes the Lord to turn His gaze away from us. It is a consoling truth that accompanies us at all times and reminds us that His merciful love always outweighs whatever good or evil we may have done. #ApostolicJourney vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

One year ago today, Pope Francis left this Earth. As a Georgetown student, never did I think that my work would contribute to the good work of dedicated souls at the Vatican. Thanks & Blessings to everyone who made this journey possible, and prayers for Pope Francis and Pope Leo
