A Picture Truly does Share 1,000 Words

As I have said before, a picture says 1,000 words.  This picture says it all.  At one time, Theresa May is all in.  Now she is all out.  An amazing pictorial commentary on the state of our politicians in the West today.  The image is not lost in its message. 
Now for words from a world leader who means what he says.  Pope Francis gives us a new and more contemporary take on fasting.  He is a man who speaks to us, who stands up and out to a Church that may not listen to him but that does not stop him.  He keeps going.  Roll on the Church of the poor, for the poor.  The Church that shows the way to encountering our world and all its peoples, our brothers and sisters. whoever they may be and wherever they may be.  As I say this, I know I am part of a Church that in so many ways is caught up in its own power struggles and concerns, a Church blind to the world of real people in their little worlds.  Open up our windows and blow down our walls so that we can be where we are called to be - with our brothers and sisters; so that we can be where we say in word we want to be but are so often not.
