    Today is Good Friday when Jesus was mocked, beaten and nailed to a cross. โœ๏ธ It's hard to see what was 'Good' about this Friday but when we see the cross, we see the persistent love of God in a broken world. See more in our reflection ๐Ÿ‘‡ cafod.org.uk/pray/lent-caleโ€ฆ
    An image of a cross in hills with the sun rising above it. "Jesus said, 'It is finished.' With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit." John 19:30.

    Eternal rest grant unto Pope Francis. You have been the voice of the voiceless, the champion of the poor. May perpetual light shine upon you, just as you have shone on this world.

    Pope Francis has asked world leaders to show compassion for people fleeing their homes, whether itโ€™s because of war, persecution or poverty. Ask your MP to build bridges and not walls by opposing the Illegal Migration Bill. ๐Ÿ‘‡ action.cafod.org.uk/page/130969/acโ€ฆ

    Last night, we joined @savechildrenuk, @oxfamgb, @christianaid and @AAH_UK in urging the UK government to listen to the call for a #CeasefireNOW. The fighting must stop so that more humanitarian aid can reach the civilian population of Gaza.

    The Illegal Migration Act goes against everything Pope Francis has called us to be. It builds walls, not bridges. It turns away people who need safety. We will continue to campaign to ensure refugees are treated with dignity. #IllegalMigrationBill
    A photo of the green seats in the House of Commons. Overlaid is a tweet from the CAFOD account. It says: "The Illegal Migration Bill has passed. It goes against everything Pope Francis has asked leaders to do for people seeking safety."

    Each year, more and more people around the world are going hungry, despite there being enough food in the world to feed everyone. Open our mouths to speak out, challenging greed and inequality, and standing up for all among us in desperate need of food ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ’š
