The suffering, hungry masses of our land do not eat "renewal" of an political party no matter how many times you can repeat this word.
The renewal they want to see in their lives is to feed themselves, to have shelter, to have employment, economic opportunities, and to live dignified lives.

💬 FM Sergey Lavrov: No one should strengthen their security at the expense of others and that no country, organisation or group of countries should claim dominance in any geopolitical space.
The West has done exactly the opposite.

When we pray for the dead, we do so not only for them, but also with them, drawn into a reciprocal relationship that the Holy Spirit brings to life in our hearts. The Church is a mystery of communion between Christ, our head, and us, His members: from Him we receive life. This communion unites the blessed souls who already contemplate the face of God and all those who, in heaven or on earth, are journeying toward the radiant destination.

Through work, one develops as a person, provides for family needs, expresses one’s own talent, participates in social life, and builds a better world by collaborating in God’s creative work. The real challenge is to offer everyone opportunities to make the most of their abilities. Unemployment, exploitation, and working conditions that endanger health and life itself are unacceptable (Gaudium et Spes, 67). #GeneralAudience

Voting in SA today is like an atheist attending church in the forlorn hope that the pastor will convince the congregation that the Leviathan worshipped by many doesn’t exist. It’s insanity on stilts, yet the voter knowingly subjects himself to it as that’s the only game in town🧘🏿♂️

Are you going to vote where @PresidencyZA prioritises @UNODC and misleading @UN_OCT @INTERPOL_HQ @Europol @MarcoTeixeiraUN investigations by allowing trumped up charges against @SAPoliceService personnel who know what #PhalaPhala is and whose involved in human trafficking?
More than 400 people were hospitalised for drinking contaminated water because @CityTshwane never ordered chlorine which is an input for synthetic drug manufacturing.
So we prioritised @UNODC_OrgCrime over @UNHumanRights because surprisingly that coincided with the cocaine haul
