I just play it on repeat since yesterday: "Hello Pope Leo XIV, I'm Renzo, I'm six years old. I'd like to ask you a few questions." Renzo, a little a boy from the poor neighborhood of Barcelona, stole the show yesterday at St. Augustine's parish, a place where Pope Leo admitted he "feels at home." Renzo in the sweetest way ever asked those questions to the pope: Do you like soccer? When you were little, did you want to be Pope? Why are my mom and dad worried? Why does my dad have so many jobs? Why do bad things happen to some people and not to others? Whose fault is it? Why are there so many people living on the streets? Does no one see them? Does no one help them? How can we help if the world is so big? Does God want there to be poor and rich? Why are there so many lonely grandparents, if they are so important? And one last question ... Must we always forgive? What pope Leo answered the boy was really moving. "Regarding whether I like football, I confess that I play tennis and I enjoy it very much, but I also appreciate football; in fact, during my years as bishop in Peru, I liked to follow how some local teams were doing; and now, as Pope, I have also received football clubs and sports groups," the pope said, adding that "sport is important because it helps us grow up healthy in body and mind." He said that as World Cup unfolds, "many will be watching the matches. Football reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off alone, but a path we learn to travel together." "Whoever doesn't know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, hasn't yet understood the game. And whoever doesn't know how to live with others and for others hasn't yet understood life." Answering whether he wanted to be Pope when he was little, the pope said: "Well, Renzo, I don't think so. I don't think I ever thought about it." "But I can tell you something: from a young age, I felt the desire to dedicate my life to God. I didn't yet know exactly how or where the Lord would lead me. Over time, I discovered that Jesus was calling me to follow him as a priest, and that this path led through the Order of Saint Augustine." "But this isn't just true for me," he said. "Every child is a dream of God. You are too. God desires the happiness of all and wants us, from childhood and throughout our lives, to have a heart like that of children (cf. Mt 18:3): capable of trusting, full of kindness; he wants us to be his friends and not turn away from him. Therefore, more important than asking oneself whether one will be a priest, doctor, teacher, parent, or anything else, is asking oneself whether one wants to be a friend of Jesus. Because friendship with Jesus gives us joy, sets us free, and helps us to see, step by step, the vocation and the path that God has planned for each of us." Answering the point on injustices in the world, Pope Leo told the boy that "through the life of Jesus Christ, God shows us that, although there is suffering, he never abandons any of his children, because he has prepared for us an eternal joy where there will be no more sadness or pain. Let us have confidence, Jesus is with us, he helps us and accompanies us, and gives us strength to go through the difficult moments we may encounter in life." Stressing that grandparents play a crucial role in families, the pope said: "Let us not allow loneliness and abandonment to become normalized in the lives of older adults. That is a very sad thing. Let's have our hearts open to all of them." On forgiveness, he told Renzo and those gathered: "It does not mean forgetting by force, as if nothing had happened. Forgiveness means not letting hatred become the master of our hearts ... our willingness to forgive is a condition for the forgiveness we receive from God." Video: Vatican Media

“Detach yourself from the world because its noise prevents you from hearing God.” — St. Charbel Makhluf

This 13-year-old kid, Austin Appelbee, gets swept miles out to sea with his mom and two younger siblings on paddleboards, rough waves, shark-infested waters (great whites spotted nearby just a day before), night falling fast, no rescue in sight. He ditches his leaking kayak, even tosses his life jacket to move faster. Instead of giving up, he prays hard, sings Christian songs, and hears God urging him, "Keep swimming, keep swimming." and swims 4km (2.5 miles) for a grueling 4 HOURS through massive swells. He finally hits shore, collapses from exhaustion, but doesn't stop. He runs another 2km along the beach to their hotel to grab his mom's phone from her bag and calls emergency services calmly telling them his family is still out there, kilometers offshore. That call triggers the helicopter rescue; his mom and siblings are found clinging to the boards after 10 hours at sea! Everyone makes it home safe. Austin gives ALL the glory to God, "It wasn't me, it was God the whole time. I kept praying and praying." What an incredible young hero! Check out this full clip, it's outstanding and shows true faith and bravery in action. Forget Hollywood awards for celebs! Real heroes like Austin deserve the spotlight. Would you keep pushing like that in pure desperation, leaning on faith to save your loved ones? 🙏✝️🕊️

This is actual brotherhood. NHL star Johnny Gaudreau was killed by a drunk driver before he could play for this Olympic team. When Team USA won gold yesterday, they didn’t just hold his jersey. They pulled his two babies onto the ice and put them right in the center of the world's biggest stage. A completely heart-wrenching moment

Happy Feast of the Immaculate Conception. May Christians once again bring civilization and culture into the world.

In a world and industry full of TERRIBLE people, Chris Pratt is one of the good ones. I applaud this man's love for God and his faith. "God is real!" "God Loves you!" "God wants the best for you. Believe that because I do." "Learn to pray! It is so good for your soul." We need more Chris Pratt's in this world!

The culture of a school is created by everyone in the school. Walk in a school and see how the front office staff talks and interacts or the staff /teachers in the hallway. Yes the admin influences it but everyone is ultimately responsible for a positive school culture.
