Today in his meeting with civil authorities and the diplomatic corps in Spain, Leo XIV portrayed the oppressive Islamic occupation of Spain (711-1492) as place of confrontation, but also of dialogue and encounter between religions: “The presence of Islam on the Iberian Peninsula, for example, constituted a long-standing political, cultural, and religious reality. During that period, there was not only confrontation, but also an attempt to create a space for contact, conversation and dialogue on the meaning of truth among Christians, Muslims and Jews. At the School of Translators enhanced by Alfonso X (the Wise), experts from all three religions collaborated on translating the texts of the rich Arabic, Greek and Hebrew heritage, contributing to the dissemination of texts such as those of the philosophers Averroes (1126-1198) and Maimonides (1138-1204), among others. The cities of Córdoba and Toledo, in particular, became centers of dialogue between languages, religions and knowledge. …अधिक

Throughout the week, you wake up early, prepare meals, organize the house, solve problems, take care of your loved ones, and do everything possible to make sure nothing is lacking. Many times, you end the day tired, yet you keep going because you love your family. That’s why, when Sunday arrives, remember that you also have the right to rest. Not because cooking is a bad thing, nor because taking care of your loved ones is a burden. On the contrary. But someone who is always giving also needs a moment to regain their strength. Before all else on Sunday, first go to church. Go for a walk if you feel like it. Visit someone you care about. Read a book. Sit quietly for a while. Breathe without looking at the clock.

And your family can also help and learn to handle some things on their own. Sometimes women become so accustomed to taking …अधिक
