    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

"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.

    Christ is Risen! Christ is risen indeed! Alleluia! Thank you for following our reflections over Lent. As we celebrate Easter, let us rejoice in the resurrection and all the signs of hope we can see in the world. ๐Ÿ™ Our final reflection ๐Ÿ‘‡ cafod.org.uk/pray/lent-caleโ€ฆ

    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

The text reads:

"No one can remain excluded because of his or her place of birth, much less because of privileges enjoyed by others who were born in lands of greater opportunity."

    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

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."
