May she encourage you, dear newlyweds, to translate the commandment of love into your daily lives."

(ANS – Rome) – As in 2013, Pope Francis celebrated the Holy Mass “in Coena Domini” on Holy Thursday at Rome's Casal del Marmo juvenile penitentiary, where he performed the traditional rite of the washing of feet of twelve young people there. There was a festive welcome with choirs and gifts made by the young people in the pasta factory and carpentry workshop. The director's greeting: "You disarm us with your gentleness". Rosaries and Easter eggs as gifts, and the homily, entirely off-hand: "We can all slip, but Jesus loves us".

(ANS - Venice) - Messages of hope for all humanity, sent on a mission into orbit in the immensity of space. And these messages are enclosed in immensely small objects: a nano-library sent by a nano-satellite. On the third anniversary of the Statio Orbis - 27 March 2020, when the Pope implored an end to the pandemic with his solitary prayer in a rain-swept St. Peter's Square - the 'Spei Satelles' space mission was born, from an idea of Monsignor Lucio Ruiz, secretary of the Dicastery for Communication, in collaboration with the Italian Space Agency, the Turin Polytechnic, the Institute of Photonics and Nanotechnology of the National Research Center and the Turin Digital Apostolate. In this historic event, the mission's official logo is signed by IUSVE, and in particular by student Marica Padoan whose project met with the approval of the Spei Satelles working group and who will therefore accompany the message of hope into orbit.
