Went to #AshWednesday Mass in the Church of San Pellegrino, one of the oldest churches in the Vatican, probably constructed during the pontificate of Leo III (795-816)

A boy displaced by war eats Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) in Riimenze, South Sudan. RUTF is a fortified peanut butter paste used to treat severe acute malnutrition. It's made at a plant in the state of Georgia and distributed by USAID, which bought $200 million of RUTF last May. No more.

The thing that's sticking with me regarding the conversations I've had over the last couple of weeks with community organizations in San Diego is how these organizations are working with parents to develop school pick up and childcare contingency plans if they get scooped up in a deportation raid.

Sneaking a peek at the Vatican Nativity scene with its lagoon and a fisherwoman guiding a boat with the 3 Magi — it’s the work of folks in Grado, Italy, on an island between Venice and Trieste. It will be unveiled Saturday evening.

Once an electrical power station in the early 20th century, Centrale Montemartini was converted into a wonderful museum of ancient Roman art. Despite being one of Rome’s most quirky museums, it is also one of the least visited. Slightly off the tourist trail, on Via Ostiense, it’s a gem.

A former electrical power station in Rome, Centrale Montemartini is a museum where ancient Roman statues rub shoulders with industrial machinery.

After some controversy, a Christmas tree arrived in St. Peter's Square early this morning. But, apparently, they aren't going to start putting it up until tomorrow. Arrival photos from PabloEsparzaa www.ncronline.org/earthbeat/lo...

#PopeFrancis has approved revised and simplified rites for the death, funeral and burial of the pope. No more triple coffin (cypress, lead, oak), public viewing but in an open casket, etc (photo is 2000 edition)

In 1977, when I was a young editor of the Catholic Worker, Jim Forest shared with me a letter he received from Thomas Merton in 1966. I edited and published it in the CW under the title "Letter to a Young Activist." It speaks to our own moment better than anything I can think of.

#PopeFrancis to conference on economy and the common good: “The pursuit of the common good and justice are essential and indispensable for the defence of all human life, especially of the most fragile and defenceless, and for the respect of the entire ecosystem that we inhabit.”
