Saint Francis, our brother, you who eight hundred years ago went to meet Sister Death as a man at peace, intercede for us before the Lord. You recognized true peace in the Crucifix of San Damiano, teach us to seek in him the source of all reconciliation that breaks down every wall. You who, unarmed, crossed the lines of war and misunderstanding, give us the courage to build bridges where the world raises up boundaries. In this time afflicted by conflict and division, intercede for us so that we may become peacemakers: unarmed and disarming witnesses of the peace that comes from Christ. Amen.
Pope Leo XIV’s prayer for peace to St. Francis of Assisi (composed for the 800th anniversary of his death; text in alt text)

The other thing I need to say is that PUBLICATIONS NEED TO COVER CULTURE INCLUDING BOOKS
I keep hearing that publications are declining to do book reviews. Places like @physicstoday.aip.org and WaPo got rid of their book sections entirely 🧪
We want people to learn about science but where?
Is it really only Thursday?
