"In many of our countries today, people live like "sheep without a shepherd", not only because of the scandalous lack of trustworthy leadership but also because those who rise to power have no compassion for the people."

"...Those who exercise power without compassion live with this obsession: holding on to power. To achieve this, they strip the people of their freedom, condemn them to poverty, and repress them in a criminal manner."

"How badly we need politicians who are genuinely disturbed by the state of society, the people, the lives of the poor! (cf. Evangelii Gaudium 205) We are so much in need of political leaders who have compassion for the people, as Jesus had!"

Message from the Carmelite Nuns of Aleppo 🧵

Dearest friends,

So many of you have reached out asking for news, and we're deeply touched by your concern. The massacres unfolding on Syria’s northwest coast, in the Alawite region where the former president’s family comes from, defy words.
1/10Image
This is a crime against humanity—a true genocide. How can the simple, impoverished Alawite people be held responsible for decades of rule by the Assad family? Shock, anger, and fear are spreading across Latakia and beyond. Where is this all leading?
2/10
Who will stand up for these poor people—who have no money, no power, and no means to defend themselves? We beg you: pray, and do whatever is in your power to help stop this inhuman slaughter.

This morning, we spoke with Sr. Rima, the Superior of the Apostolic Carmelite Sisters of St.

UNDOCUMENTED MIGRANTS 🧵
St. John Paul II - World Migration Day, 1996
#immigration

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
1. The phenomenon of migration with its complex problems challenges the international community & individual States today more than ever.


1/40vatican.va/content/john-p…
The latter generally tend to intervene by tightening migration laws and reinforcing border control systems. Thus migration loses that dimension of economic, social and cultural development which it had in the past.
#immigration
2/40
In fact, there is less and less talk of the situation of "emigrants" in their countries of origin, and more and more of "immigrants", with respect to the problems they create in the countries where they settle.

Bishop Rolando Álvarez of Matagalpa, Nicaragua, visits Albacete

In February 2023, Bishop Rolando Álvarez was sentenced to 26 years in prison. After spending a year incarcerated, he was expelled from Nicaragua in January 2024 and sent to Rome.

While in Albacete, Bishop Álvarez joined diocesan priests to commemorate the centenary of the canonical establishment of the Diocese of Matagalpa, a small, predominantly rural diocese of 6,500 square kilometers, with a population of 600,000, 28 parishes & 75% Catholics.
2/19
Q. Bishop Rolando, how are you?
A. By God’s grace, I am well. I’ve begun a pastoral visit. In Greece, I led spiritual exercises for cloistered Dominican nuns. Then I visited Toledo, where three seminarians from my diocese are studying.

🤔DID YOU KNOW? In our #quoteoftheday for #July18, we mentioned Joseph Lémann. He was a devout Jew from Lyon, France who joined the Catholic Church along w/ his twin bro at age 18 after mtg Hermann Cohen. In 1892 they helped found the Carmel of Haifa, seen here.

The original monastery was built on the shores of Haifa Bay. It was scenic but unsafe; the nuns fled at the Turkish invasion, so the Turks used it as a hospital. After the nuns returned, the founders of LaFarge Cement built a new monastery (1937), an art deco jewel.
2/5
Of course, politics & war played a part: the British Mandate govt wanted to expropriate the nuns' bayshore property to build a port at Haifa. The nuns sold a parcel of land to the British, who built a hospital & the nuns bought land next to the friars on top of the mountain.

Quote of the day, 19 July: Silvio José Báez, O.C.D. | "We rest when we seek a "solitary place" (Mk. 6:31) to be silent and enter into ourselves..." carmelitequotes.blog/2021/07/18/19j…
“And he said to them, 'Come away to some lonely place all by yourselves and rest for a while'; for there were so many coming and going that there was no time for them even to eat.
So they went off in the boat to a lonely place where they could be by themselves.” – Mark 6:31-32 (bibliacatolica.com.br/en/new-jerusal…)

🥳Happy #feastday of #OurLadyofMountCarmel
The sacred scriptures speak of the beauty of Mount Carmel where the prophet Elijah defended the faith of Israel in the living God.

There, at the beginning of the thirteenth century, under the title of “Saint Mary of Mount Carmel,” the Order of Carmelites had its formal beginning.

From the fourteenth century this title, recalling the countless blessings of its patroness, began to be celebrated solemnly, first in England and then gradually throughout the whole Order.
