“A little bit of mercy makes the world less cold and more just.” – Pope Francis Today, we give thanks for the life and legacy of Pope Francis—a faithful servant who reminded the world of the power of love and humility. His unwavering care for the poor and vulnerable, and his call to compassion, will continue to guide us. At Ascension, we join Catholics and people of goodwill around the world in prayer and gratitude. As a Catholic health ministry, we remain committed to the healing ministry of Jesus and to carrying forward the values Pope Francis championed—kindness, justice, and care for the most vulnerable among us and all of God’s creation. May his memory be a blessing, and may his example continue to inspire us all. For additional resources, visit the Catholic Health Association: http://ascn.io/61892TJ2x (fb)

Today and throughout the 50 days of the Easter season, we rejoice in Jesus' resurrection. Where do you find new life awakening within and around you? How will you bring that joy to your encounters? (fb)
