The big laboratories to liberalise patents and to carry out a gesture of humanity and allow every human being access to the vaccine.

The environmental and social crisis are two sides of the same coin. Therefore, strategies for resolving them demand an integrated approach to combating poverty, restoring dignity to the excluded, and at the same time protecting nature. #EndPoverty

Dear brothers and sisters, have a good journey! May we be open to the Holy Spirit’s surprises, the grace of encounter, reciprocal listening and discernment, joyfully convinced that, even as we seek the Lord, He always comes with His love to meet us first. #Synod #ListeningChurch

For those reading the stories of incredible hurt caused by the Church, remember that just because you haven’t experienced it doesn’t mean they didn’t. Listen and believe them. The Church can’t get better without hearing these stories!

Brings to mind the story of a priest known for his bloviating. After Mass, one parishioner opined the homily reminded him of God's love.
"How so?" the priest asked, not having learned to quit while ahead.
The parishioner said, "It was beyond all comprehension and without end."

“In welcoming the dismissed and discarded, in drawing close to those ill-treated by life, we are loving Jesus. For that is where he is: in the least of our brothers and sisters, in the rejected and discarded, in those whom our self-righteous culture condemns.” -@Pontifex
