(ANS - Vatican City) - On the evening of Thursday, 19 October 2023, at the end of the work of the 13th General Congregation of the XVI Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops on Synodality, a special moment of prayer took place in St. Peter's Square, at the Angel Unawares sculpture. Presided over by Pope Francis, in the presence of the various participants in the Synod. It was dedicated to those who have lost their lives along the different migratory routes, their families, those who have survived, and all refugees and migrants who are still on their way. "It is necessary to redouble efforts to combat criminal networks, to indicate safer routes and to commit to expanding regular migration channels," said the Holy Father.

(ANS – Vatican City) – Harmony between context and words. This is what happened yesterday, 5 October, in the splendid setting of the Vatican Gardens, at the Largo della Radio, where the Apostolic Exhortation Laudate Deum, published on Wednesday, 4 October, was presented to the press. Unanimous on the part of the invited academics, scholars, activists, representatives of civil society and the world of culture, the consensus for a document integrating the Encyclical Laudato Si'of eight years ago, that urges institutions and nations to an urgent commitment to face the consequences of global climate change.

(ANS – Vatican City) – Pope Francis presides at the Holy Mass in St Peter’s Square for the Opening of the XVI Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, and invites the faithful to walk with the Holy Spirit, “in trust and with joy”. Also concelebrating the Mass was the newly appointed Cardinal Fr Ángel Fernández Artime, the Rector Major of the Salesians, who had been invited along with the other members of the College of Cardinals.

(ANS – Vatican City) – On the day that the Universal Church celebrates St Francis of Assisi, Pope Francis published "Laudate Deum" – an Apostolic Exhortation on the climate crisis – to expand and update his first encyclical on the subject, Laudato Si 'signed on 24 May 2015 and published on 18 June 2015.

"The essence of the synodal journey lies in a fundamental truth that we must never lose sight of: it aims to listen, understand and put into practice the will of God". With this post published yesterday on X by Pope Francis, we headed to the Synod on Synodality.

(ANS - Vatican City) – The Ordinary Public Consistory at St. Peter’s Square this morning, 30 September 2023, was indeed a celebration of the universality of the Church and a renewal of the thrust of evangelization, during which the Rector Major of the Salesians of Don Bosco, Fr Ángel Fernández Artime, was officially created Cardinal.
