So that I can hear your voice.
you'll stop talking with love;
if you shout, you'll shout with love;
if you correct, you'll correct with love.

It has eyes to see the misery and want.
It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of people.
This is what love looks like.

my strength and in the name of the Lord,
I also have friends who have accepted
to follow the same ideal.

The Holy Father has appointed Bishop Luis Marín de San Martín, OSA, titular of Suliana, until now undersecretary of the General Secretariat of the Synod, as Almoner of His Holiness, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Service of Charity, conferring to him the dignity of Archbishop.
"The Dicastery for the Service of Charity, also known as the Office of the Papal Almoner, is a special expression of mercy and, based on the option for the poor, vulnerable and excluded, carries out in every part of the world the work of aid and assistance offered in the name of the Roman Pontiff, who in cases of particular need or other emergencies, personally determines the forms of aid to be given. The Dicastery, under the guidance of the Prefect, the Almoner of His Holiness, in contact with the other competent Dicasteries, demonstrates, by its activity, the solicitude and closeness of the Pope, as Pastor of the universal Church, toward those experiencing situations of extreme need, exclusion and poverty, as well as grave disasters." (from Vatican News)
We offer our prayers and support to our brother as he embarks on this ministry in the service of the Church.
