Pope Francis emphasizes the importance of praying for political leaders, inviting us to join him in praying for this intention this month.

In the video accompanying his message, produced by his Worldwide Prayer Network, the Pope reminds us that we cannot “move ahead toward universal fraternity without good politics,” and to be grateful for “the many politicians who carry out their duties with a will to serve, not of power, who put all their efforts toward the common good.”

Even though “politics doesn’t have a very good reputation” today, Pope Francis invites us to see politics as “one of the highest forms of charity,” in search of the common good.

Justin Kilcullen, the former Exec Director of Trócaire 1993 -2013, while speaking at IEC2012 in Dublin, reflected on what drew him to join Trócaire in 1981.

'... was that from the outset it had been given this justice mandate by the Irish bishops, who on its foundation had said it is our Christian duty to demand that the political authorities always act with justice and responsibility towards the less fortunate countries.'

Anna Buday, speaking at the March for Life in Dublin on 6 May 2024, celebrates her daughter Esther who has Down Syndrome.

"When we first learned that our daughter has Down syndrome, it felt like our world turned upside down. We were flooded with uncertainties, fears, and questions about what the future held for us and for her. We had no idea she would become the greatest gift we could ever receive .... I implore you, to embrace the uniqueness and beauty that individuals with Down Syndrome bring to our world. Let us stand together in solidarity, fighting against discrimination and advocating for a society where every person, regardless of genetic differences, is valued, respected, and celebrated."
