(ANS - Valletta) - It was made in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul, the 36th apostolic journey of the Successor of Peter, Pope Francis, to Malta. A short trip, the time of a weekend, but full of appointments, meetings, moments of great meaning and value; as well as clear words on many issues: hospitality, evangelization, care for one's roots, and all that is happening in these days in the world.

Malta - April 2022 - From April 2 to 3, Pope Francis made his 36th Apostolic Journey abroad, visiting the archipelago of Malta. Pope Francis is the third Pontiff, after St. John Paul II and Benedict XVI, to travel to this island, which represents the heart of the Mediterranean. They were two intense days for the Holy Father who, during these two days, touched on numerous themes: prayer, the joy of the Gospel, welcoming and protecting the human dignity of migrants. Also during this trip, the Pope's thoughts went to the war in Ukraine, to the "humanitarian tragedy" of a "martyred" country, inviting everyone to never tire of praying and helping those who suffer because of this war.

On April 2 and 3, Pope Francis will be in Malta for his 36th Apostolic Journey. On this occasion, the Holy See Press Office has published statistics on the Maltese Catholic Church.

(ANS - Turin) - Fr Daniel Antúnez, SDB, President of Missioni Don Bosco, returned to Italy a few days ago from a trip that brought him to meet with Salesians from Slovakia, Poland and Ukraine - in Lviv - and is handling the reception of a group of 39 refugees in Valdocco. "We want to be militants for peace," he says in response to those who generate war and violence. Fr Antúnez adds: "If the Pope will be in the condition to go in person, I and many others are ready to accompany him."

(ANS - Rome) - As is well known, Pope Francis, in communion with all the bishops of the world and their presbyters, will make the consecration and entrustment of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary next March 25, the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord. Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, papal almoner, will perform it in Fatima as the Pope's envoy.

Vatican City, Vatican - March 2022 - On Ash Wednesday, March 2, Pope Francis urged people to dedicate themselves to prayer and fasting for peace in Ukraine. The Holy Father's start of Lent once again crossed paths with the Salesian University Institute Venice (IUSVE): with a click on the tablet of the Cube Radio delegation, Pope Francis officially kicked off the digital Way of the Cross, which juxtaposes a passage from the encyclical "Fratelli Tutti" (Brothers All) at each station. In this year's Way of the Cross, conceived by Marica Padoan, in each station, a young person is represented next to the suffering Christ, a way to recall the participation of the world of youth in this liturgical path, as well as an element linked to the earth and one linked to heaven, a sign of the Eucharistic Sacrifice that "unites heaven and earth." Clicking on each station will make available: the icon of the station, the text of the Gospel taken from the liturgical booklet of the Way of the Cross presided over by Pope Francis in 2021, and a phrase taken from the encyclical letter "Fratelli Tutti".
