drruthvalerio.bsky.social @drruthvalerio.bsky.social · 21/04/2025Thank you God for this man. His humility, life of simplicity & service to people in poverty were beautiful to see. And his encyclical Laudato Si' was groundbreaking - reminding us that we share a common home with all creation & calling us to an 'integral ecology' #PopeFrancis 000
drruthvalerio.bsky.social @drruthvalerio.bsky.social · 18/04/2025Gosh, what a beautiful and powerful #GoodFriday reflection on Radio 4. I feel really privileged to have been involved.

drruthvalerio.bsky.social @drruthvalerio.bsky.social · 16/03/2025Well done to everyone for an excellent weekend, with a fab and well-attended community eco-fair, good evening event & then I spoke at Hope Baptist Church Sunday morning .

drruthvalerio.bsky.social @drruthvalerio.bsky.social · 09/03/2025The tadpoles are hatching, yay!! I've been watching the frogspawn every day, covering them over at night when it was cold last week and was starting to worry they’d all died like they did last year…. but I can just see some movement and a few tiny black things in the water. Hooray! #proudmum 🤣 000
drruthvalerio.bsky.social @drruthvalerio.bsky.social · 06/03/2025I'm excited that we're going to be upping our advocacy work at Embrace the Middle East. Goodness knows there's lots to be doing!

drruthvalerio.bsky.social @drruthvalerio.bsky.social · 02/03/2025This is a terrible move by Israel. Please pray for the ceasefire negotiations that this gets resolved quickly and goods and aid can start getting back into Gaza where it's so desperately needed. shorturl.at/nHHNVshorturl.atIsrael blocks entry of all humanitarian aid into GazaPM Netanyahu said Hamas was refusing a temporary ceasefire extension, Hamas called the move 000

drruthvalerio.bsky.social @drruthvalerio.bsky.social · 17/02/2025I'm looking forward to speaking in London today on 'Peace in a Time of Unrest and Conflict'. Goodness knows this is such an important topic right now! 000
drruthvalerio.bsky.social @drruthvalerio.bsky.social · 09/02/2025During the Pax Romana - the period of time between 27BC and 189AD, literally called 'Peace of Rome', when Rome was growing its empire through military conquest - the Caledonian chieftain Calgacus bitterly remarked that the Romans, “create a desolation and call it peace.” Does that sound familiar? 010

drruthvalerio.bsky.social @drruthvalerio.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Following on from a few days ago, I'd love to know how you think of a 'soul'. What do you think a soul even is? What's your understanding? Thanks - I love all your comments and wisdom and thoughts x 000
drruthvalerio.bsky.social @drruthvalerio.bsky.social · 28/01/2025As AI dominates the news I learn just how wrong it can be. I do a search for what version of Isaiah 61 Jesus used when he read from the scroll in the synagogue in Lk 4. Do u know what the 'AI Overview' tells me? "When Jesus read from Isaiah 61 in Luke 4 he was using the New International Version" 🤣🤣 000
drruthvalerio.bsky.social @drruthvalerio.bsky.social · 27/01/2025The #HolocaustMemorialDay commemoration is deeply moving and I remember today my own family who were victims. Let us never forget that it all started with othering and everyday hate. Let us do all we can to resist that in our own lives and call it out when we see it around us. 000
drruthvalerio.bsky.social @drruthvalerio.bsky.social · 26/01/2025This might sound an odd question but I'm going to be contributing to a podcast on 'animals and souls' and I'm interested to know: have you had an experience of a pet after they have died, or indeed any particular experience of a pet while they were alive that has stood out to you? Thank you x 010
drruthvalerio.bsky.social @drruthvalerio.bsky.social · 13/01/2025I know you care about nature so here's one big but simple thing you can do right now. Please please contact your MP and ask them to and ask them to vote for the #CANBill at its Second Reading on 24 Jan. It'll take only a few minutes using the link below.

drruthvalerio.bsky.social @drruthvalerio.bsky.social · 10/01/2025What would you like to say about the juxtaposition of these different headlines in today's news? There's so much that comes to mind.... 000
drruthvalerio.bsky.social @drruthvalerio.bsky.social · 05/01/2025Well I've taken the plunge and got myself an account. I've no idea what to do on here now! But here I am, so hello @bsky.app folks, it's good to meet you here 🙂 010
