From Pope Francis

There is so much work, therefore, for theology and for its mission today to incarnate the Word of God for the Church and for all mankind in the Third Millennium. Today more than ever we need a revolution of tenderness. This will save us. Let us entrust the advancement of our work to Our Lady, Mother of Tenderness. I ask you to pray and have others pray for me.
