Living through uncertain times calls for a deep-rooted patience and trust that isnโt always easy to find. Yet, just as every season has its purpose, so do these moments of waiting, questioning, and wondering what lies ahead. In uncertainty, we are given the chance to slow down, to look within, and to trust that this chapter, too, is part of a larger journey. Even when we donโt have clear answers, we can hold onto hope, knowing that clarity often comes in its own time, like the dawn following a long night.

Let us pray that all parents who mourn the loss of a son or daughter find support in their community, and may receive peace of heart from the Spirit of Consolation. ~ Pope Francis, November 2024
Yesterday was the World Day of the Poor, a call to look closely, to see beyond statistics and truly recognise the humanity in those around us who are struggling. Poverty isnโt distant; itโs woven into our communities, often hidden yet present. We are called to stand closer, to listen deeply, and to let our compassion move usโnot just for a moment, but as a steady, enduring commitment to justice and dignity for all.
