On Monday of this week, the Vatican announced the much anticipated program for Pope Leo’s first international Apostolic Journey as he visits Turkey and Lebanon.

The Pope participated in the Jubilee of Synodal Teams, which gives us opportunity to reflect on the continued path of synodality.

With eyes on the Middle East, we sit down with Archbishop Mourad, the recipient of the John Paul II Award, after his courageous survival under ISIS captivity.

Two special Jubilee events highlight the Roma and Sinti communities, peoples without a nation, as well as the devotion of the Lord of Miracles, with its colorful procession through the streets of Rome.

Thank you for your continued support, and always remember: God has a plan for each of us, and He makes no mistakes,
