The eight-week schedule is such that the adventure can be started at any time, on your schedule. Join in a flexible experience of daily prayer and reflection. Choose to commit to a regular period of prayer each day, or start with only one day a week. Use as much or as little of the material as helps you in your Ignatian adventure.

With this letter, I wish, as it were, to come into your homes to speak about an event which will take place at the Vatican this coming October.

Indeed, in our day the Church is called to proclaim the Gospel by confronting the new and urgent pastoral needs facing the family........

Our Holy Father continues to challenge all people of the world to look at world hunger and find ways to share the resources of the world. "When I was hungry, you gave me to eat."

(Vatican Radio) He who speaks ill of his neighbor is a hypocrite who lacks the courage to look to his own shortcomings. Speaking during his homily at morning Mass at the Domus Sanctae Marthae, Pope Francis focused on the fact that gossip has a “criminal” side to it, because every time we speak ill of our brothers, we imitate Caine’s homicidal gesture.
