In Milan, the concert is for listening rather than filming. With songs from different seasons, questions about heaven and two more Italian dates, Bob Dylan offers an evening to keep in our memories.
GOD, I RECEIVED COMMUNION. AND FELT NOTHING
You return to the pew, kneel and try to gather your thoughts. For a few seconds, you manage it. Then you remember a message, something to buy, lunch to arrange. Nearby, someone has their eyes closed and looks completely at peace. You mostly notice the seam of your trousers against your knees.
FIVE LOAVES, TWO FISH. AND YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD SO LITTLE
Someone else’s cake is perfect: tall, beautifully decorated, carried in a box worthy of a bakery. You put your container on the table and immediately explain why yours is so simple. Nobody asked for an apology. You supplied it yourself.
DO YOU EVER SAY THE LOVELY THINGS YOU THINK ABOUT PEOPLE?
The meeting ends and you think your colleague handled it brilliantly. She listened to a difficult question, untangled a problem and found words you would not have found. You close your laptop. Later, you message her to ask for a document.
GOD, I HAVE OPENED MY BOOKS AGAIN. I AM NOT TWENTY ANY MORE
The book has been open for half an hour. You have read the same page, answered a message, looked up a word and remembered the empty fridge. Then comes the thought: at my age, I should already know what I am doing with my life.
He found people who believed in him at the gym. Now Matt Kasee makes room for others

Event date: 1 november 2026
2 NOVEMBER: LOVE CONTINUES IN PRAYER TOO
There are names we still whisper. All Souls’ Day invites us to bring them before God. The Catechism explains why praying for the departed has a precise meaning.
Zoozve, Venus’s quasi-moon whose name began with a mistake
A poster in a child’s bedroom, a misread designation and a dad determined to understand it. This asteroid’s story sounds invented, but it led to an official astronomical name.
Resistance bands and a little space: bringing November fitness home
Small living room, mat tucked under the sofa? Resistance bands can fit there too. Here is what to ask about equipment and workouts before pressing play.
SHE WAS AFRAID OF WATER. CABRINI CROSSED THE OCEAN.
You have opened that page three times already. The course starts next month, the application closes on Friday, the project even has a name. Then you reach the point where something actually needs doing, and close it all again. Perhaps tomorrow. When you feel more ready, calmer, better able to face what you do not yet know.
HE WORKS ONE HOUR. YOU WORK ALL DAY. THE SAME PAY?
The first reaction comes almost automatically: hold on. I have been here since this morning. I worked the long shift, stood in the heat, kept going while the others were still outside. Now somebody who worked barely an hour receives as much as I do?
MARY WAS A LITTLE GIRL TOO.
Every so often, a photograph turns up. An uneven fringe, shiny shoes, a very serious expression in front of a birthday cake. You look at it and struggle to remember that the little girl is you. People who know you now see the things you do: working, accompanying, deciding, organising. In that photograph, so much was still ahead of you.
GOD, TODAY I BRING YOU MORE THAN MY OWN NAMES.
Some names come immediately. You do not have to search for them or read a list. A date, a song, a recipe prepared a certain way is enough. These are the people you carry with you, those your thoughts return to even during a busy day.
GOD, I ENTRUST YOU WITH THE PROJECT THAT LIGHTS UP MY EYES.
You have an idea, and your face changes when you discuss it with the right person. Details come to mind, possibilities, things you would love to learn. Then come the costs, the lack of time, the fear of sounding naive. The idea goes back into a drawer, but every so often it makes itself heard.
THAT JOKE MAKES EVERYONE LAUGH. DOES IT, REALLY?
The joke arrives somewhere between coffee and deciding who should clear the table. Somebody laughs immediately; somebody else adds the familiar punchline. The person at the centre of it smiles faintly. It is a brief moment: you might miss it, assume everything is fine, or recognise something you have felt yourself.
IN HOSPITAL, PLAY MATTERS TOO.
At home, an unfinished game might be a minor annoyance. In hospital, starting a game or choosing a colour can help restore something familiar. Between examinations, waiting, and changed routines, a child still has tastes, curiosity, and a wish to play, even when the adults are full of worry.
GIANLUCA GUIDA: WHAT FUTURE DO YOU SEE FOR A YOUNG PERSON WHO HAS DONE WRONG?
We read about a crime, feel angry, and think of those who suffered harm. That reaction deserves respect. When a young person is involved, however, conversation often adds a judgment about their future: there is nothing more to be done for them.
The secret of a Barbour jacket: make it part of your life
From Princess Diana and Alexa Chung to campaigns featuring Sienna Miller and Idris Elba, the British jacket keeps finding new company. Much of its appeal lies in the things we choose to keep.
PASOLINI AND THE JESUS WHO STILL ASKS US QUESTIONS
An unknown young man as Christ, the Sassi of Matera and his own mother as Mary. Inside the Gospel of a filmmaker who did not believe, but took Jesus very seriously.
FIORELLA: “LET SCHOOLS TEACH LOVE”
Mannoia’s voice, the work of Una Nessuna Centomila and a question for adults too: how do we put respect into practice?
MISSONI: I'M WEARING THE COLOURS OF THE MOUNTAINS!
Chocolate, rust, taupe and blue: the capsule with Net-a-Porter offers a fresh way to look at our wardrobes. Three combinations to try, even when we're staying in the city.
A LITTLE SPARKLE AT YOUR FEET, AND THE EVENING CHANGES!
Rene Caovilla meets Swarovski crystals. We look at the work behind a jewel-like shoe and take away a practical idea: how to let an accessory shine while leaving room for ourselves.
ADRIA ARJONA: BEAUTY HAS ROOTS OF ITS OWN!
As L'Oréal Paris's new global ambassador, the actor brings the women of her family into the campaign story. It offers a starting point for thinking about the beauty rituals we learned while growing up.
HAIR, LET'S KEEP IT SIMPLE! JENNIFER LAWRENCE'S NEW BET
The actor launches mes° with three products for treatment and styling. The news offers a reason to organise our routines: understanding a cosmetic's purpose comes before adding it to the basket.
MILAN NEEDED HELP. SAINT CHARLES SOLD A PRINCIPALITY.
You have almost finished sorting your wardrobe. Things you no longer wear go into the donation bag. But when you reach a jumper you still love, your hand stops. That is understandable. An interesting question begins there: how much of what we call generosity actually asks us to let something go?
TWO SMALL COINS. AND AN AWKWARD QUESTION ABOUT THE MONEY OF FAITH.
The collection basket passes along the pew. You search your bag for a coin and find a receipt, your keys and a hair tie. Then you look at what you can give and it seems terribly little. Has that happened to you? Before turning the moment into a test of goodness, let us meet a woman in the Gospel.
MARY, YOUR BODY WAS NEVER A MINOR DETAIL.
“Have you lost weight?” “When are you having a baby?” “You still look wonderful for your age!” Sometimes one family lunch is enough to make your body the centre of a conversation you never chose. Everyone has an observation. You only wanted to pass the bread. What if nobody asked you to explain yourself for a moment?
GOD, CAN I TALK TO YOU AT THE BUS STOP TOO?
The display says five minutes. Then six. Then five again. Meanwhile you have read a message, checked the weather and thought about groceries. Somebody facing an important day comes to mind. “God, stay close to her.” A few words, standing on a pavement. Does that already count as prayer, even with everything happening around you?
GOD, I RAISED MY VOICE. NOW HELP ME MAKE AMENDS.
The door is closed. The argument has ended, at least aloud. Inside, you are still replaying it: the sentence you never meant to say, your tone, the silence afterwards. “I was tired” may be true. It does not erase what happened. You can bring this less presentable moment to God as honestly as any other part of your day.
DAD DOESN’T SAY “I MISS YOU”. HE SAYS “HAVE YOU EATEN?”
He calls with three questions: where you are, whether it is raining and whether you have eaten. You answer quickly because the replies always seem the same. Then you hang up and smile. Perhaps those practical questions also mean: I am thinking of you. Not every dad easily finds the words he needs to express affection.
TONIGHT, DINNER ARRIVES ON FOUR WHEELS.
For many of us, deciding dinner means opening the fridge and declaring there is nothing, even when something is there. For someone living on the streets, the question differs: where can I eat tonight? A concrete distance separates those scenes. A kitchen on four wheels tries to cross it, taking a meal to where someone is waiting for it.
PIETRO ICHINO: HOW DO WE LOVE WHEN ILLNESS CHANGES EVERYTHING?
When we say “I will be there”, we rarely imagine every form those words might take. We picture a telephone call, a journey together, a difficult day. Then illness can change time, gestures and the ways we stay close. How do we continue loving when we cannot make everything return to the way it used to be between us?
TRICK OR SPACE ROCK? HALLOWEEN HAS A VISITOR IN THE SKY, TOO
Its name is 2025 UK9. Just a few metres across, it was expected to approach Earth in the early hours of 31 October. But the figures need care: in astronomy, a prediction is not a photograph of what actually happened.
Event date: 31 october 2026
SAINTS, NOT PERFECT: THE NIGHT OF THE SAINTS FOR ANYONE FEELING OUT OF PLACE
The 31 October Night of the Saints in Milan and Pavia has ended. This article keeps the announced programme for teenagers—conversation, music and prayer—without claiming undocumented outcomes.

A PIGGY BANK FOR YOUR WISHES: SAVING A LITTLE WITHOUT PUTTING LIFE ON HOLD

Event date: 30 october 2026
GOODBYE NONNA SILVI, YOU MADE US FEEL AT HOME
Silvana Bini has died at 85 in Montespertoli. Remembering a woman who brought Tuscan cooking into lives far away, through a family bakery and her grandchildren’s phone.
GIGI D’ALESSIO, A SONG TO WALK BESIDE YOU THROUGH LIFE
Piccerè began as a song for his daughter Ginevra and speaks to anyone who has searched for the words to say: I will be beside you as you grow. Meanwhile, new concerts are coming in 2027, from Verona’s Arena to Italian stadiums.
HOW WOULD THIS EYESHADOW LOOK ON ME? NOW WE CAN ASK THE CHAT!
Maybelline announces Virtual Try-On in ChatGPT: understanding a simulation and why access for Italian accounts still needs confirmation.
GAGA CHANGES ROLES: TAKING THE LEAD AT HER BEAUTY BRAND!
Lady Gaga takes the lead at Haus Labs. The 29 October announcement, and a reminder to choose cosmetics with curiosity and your own judgement.

IN A SWEATSHIRT, WITH A MIND OF THEIR OWN! MEET THE WOMEN OF COMO
The Como players in a new Nike Studio Fleece feature: people, style and three combinations to try with a sweatshirt you already own.
DIO RIDE: WHAT IF FAITH HELPED US SMILE AGAIN?
Favino wears a friar’s habit; Silvio Orlando, a cardinal’s robes. In Giovanni Veronesi’s new film, a friar speaks of God to ordinary people and ends up before the Inquisition. A story of freedom and conscience that invites us to rediscover the room for joy in a life of faith.
‘So it’s true’: Asser, 14, and the sailing dream made possible
Fundraising at Centro Velico 3V and support from Sport Senza Frontiere allowed him to keep sailing. Between Bracciano, Anzio and Civitavecchia, his passion has also become friendship and confidence.
WHOOP, Zwift and Peloton: what changes when fitness apps connect

Event date: 28 october 2026
An app and a trainer: My Plan explores fitness that stays alongside you
Burn Boot Camp introduces a digital space for goals and progress, linked to conversations with a trainer. This American example raises a question that travels well: how do we find guidance that actually listens?
Event date: 29 october 2026
Strength without jumps: Strength Lab and the freedom to choose an alternative
A new beta offers illustrated exercises and filters for time, equipment and position. Its interesting idea is making alternatives easier to find, while recognising that low impact does not automatically mean easy or suitable for everyone.
Event date: 28 october 2026
ELIZABETH LOVED CHOPIN. AND SHE SOUGHT GOD.
The score is still there. Or perhaps it is a box of paints, a camera, the notebook you wrote in before every day became urgent. You look at it and think: when I have time. Meanwhile, time always seems to have somewhere else to go.
BENT OVER FOR EIGHTEEN YEARS. JESUS CALLS HER NEAR.
You arrive, say hello and sit down. Somebody asks whether you brought the document, can move a chair or have finished the work. Nothing unusual. Yet on the way home you realise nobody asked how you were. Perhaps you did not ask the person beside you either.
“SOMEONE’S MUM.” AND WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF YOU?
They introduce you as somebody’s mum. Or their wife, sister, the woman at work who always sorts everything out. It is true, of course. Yet while smiling you find yourself thinking: what about my name? The thing I am learning? The rest of my story?
GOD, I TURNED OFF THE LIGHT. MY MIND DIDN’T FOLLOW.
The room is finally quiet. You have checked the alarm, plugged in the phone and pulled up the blanket. Then your mind opens an unscheduled meeting: this morning’s remark, the unanswered message, tomorrow’s tasks. Everybody is here, just when you wanted to sleep.
GOD, THIS HOME IS STILL FULL OF BOXES.
The pizza is resting on a moving box. You found two plates, but the mugs went into something labelled “miscellaneous”: a word that now seems rather unhelpful. Your new home feels wonderful and strange. Even the noises sound different.
“GOD NEEDED ANOTHER ANGEL.” WHAT IF WE DIDN’T SAY IT?
You open the chat and type “I am sorry.” Then delete it. It feels too small for news this big. You want words that can reach the other person and take away at least some pain. Sometimes that is when we choose a sentence promising to explain everything.
LOVE READING ALOUD? YOUR VOICE COULD HELP SOMEONE.
You read a page and change your voice halfway through. That character obviously cannot sound like the other one. Somebody laughs and asks you to continue. Perhaps this happens with a novel, a family story or a voice message about something you enjoyed.
GIOVANNI CACCAMO: WHICH WORDS HAVE STAYED WITH YOU?
You changed phones but kept that message. Just a few words, perhaps without perfect punctuation. Somebody wrote them at the right moment and occasionally you return to them. They did not solve your whole life. They made you feel reached.
ALFA, LOVE HASN’T MISSED ITS TRAIN!
A delay, two people at the same station and a song about the time it takes to find each other. With ‘Eri solo da incontrare’, Alfa returns to love, making room for couples’ own stories in the video.
GIORGIA PALMAS AND FILIPPO MAGNINI, EXTRA JOY ON THE RED CARPET
At the presentation of The Traitors, they talk as contestants and expectant parents. Their baby is due in March: between a challenge and a name kept private, a family is preparing to welcome someone new.
BRAD PITT, WHEN FRIENDS HELP KEEP YOU STANDING
During difficult times, the actor says, he relied on those closest to him. His words take friendship beyond Hollywood photographs, to a place where you can speak without having to seem invincible.

Event date: 28 october 2026
SAINT MARTIN DE PORRES, THE SAINT WHO LEARNED FROM A BARBER
A cape around your shoulders, a mirror in front of you, that question someone asks while dividing your hair into sections: how are you? Sometimes you answer quickly. Other times, unexpectedly, you talk about the job worrying you, a celebration you are looking forward to, your mother who no longer wants to go out. A place you enter to have your hair done can become surprisingly familiar.
EVERYONE IS LOOKING FOR YOU. AND YOU CANNOT FIND YOURSELF
Your coffee is still too hot, but you have already answered three messages. One concerns work, another dinner, another begins with a tiny request that will not remain tiny. You sit down and remember someone to call. Another name appears on your phone. Nothing dramatic has happened. Yet before the day has started, you already feel behind in other people’s lives.
I SIT DOWN. EVERYONE HERE KNOWS HOW TO PRAY EXCEPT ME
You arrive a few minutes early to avoid attracting attention. Then discover that arriving early means choosing a seat while everyone greets each other by name. You sit halfway back: close enough to participate, far enough to feel safe. Someone opens a booklet. You check your phone is silent.
GOD, CAN I TALK TO YOU ABOUT MY DOG TOO?
You have barely opened the door and he is there. He knows nothing about your meeting or the message you keep rereading. He knows you are home. While you search your bag for keys, the day changes a little: someone wants to go out, sniff yesterday’s tree, be with you.
A PRAYER BEFORE YOU CLOSE YOUR SUITCASE
Have you packed the charger? Is your identity document in the right pocket? The suitcase lies open on the bed and something always seems missing, however often you check. Meanwhile you think of the person collecting you, the one you will say goodbye to, a conversation you may finally have time for.
YOU HAVE SAID SORRY. MUST I TRUST YOU STRAIGHT AWAY?
The apology arrives when you have almost stopped expecting it. A long message, perhaps a few words over coffee. You are glad the other person acknowledges hurting you. Then, as the conversation continues, they ask something personal and you hesitate.
A WASHING MACHINE CAN CHANGE A DAY
The washing machine finishes while you are doing something else. Open the door, retrieve the sock stuck to the drum, check whether that stain has finally gone. It is so normal that dedicating an article to it may seem absurd.
MASSIMO ROBBERTO: LOOKING AT GALAXIES, STILL ASKING QUESTIONS
A galaxy photograph appears between a message and an advertisement. You enlarge it: lights, shapes and colours seemingly far removed from your day. For a few seconds you keep looking. Then a notification arrives and the sky slips beneath your thumb.
BONUCCI: BEFORE THE CHAMPION, THERE IS A DAD
Remembering Matteo's illness: he is well today. And Martina's journey: 575 kilometres to help the hospital that treated her son.
All Saints’ Day: the Pope invites us to look up. And introduces a remarkable woman

FIORELLO AND AMADEUS: WHEN FRIENDSHIP GOES LIVE!

RAOUL BOVA, THE SCHOOL WITH ROOM FOR EVERYONE!
In Tutto l’amore che resta, he plays headteacher Stefano Fogli. Around him are young people with desires, anger, first loves and different lives to discover. And a question that reaches beyond the screen: how much room can we make for others?
Three kittens in a truck bumper, and someone who stops to save them
From Alba to Altare, hidden on a truck. Workers at the Bormioli glassworks and the driver rescued them. A small story with a question for all of us: do we still notice those who need help?
Date of the news report: 28 october 2026
Leo XIV to meet victims of abuse in Latin America

Date of the announcement: 27 october 2026
AUGUSTINE NEEDED HIS FRIENDS. DO YOU?
The message arrives as you are about to put your phone away: shall we meet on Saturday? You look at the calendar and think about the washing and that errand you postponed. Then you notice you are smiling. With some people, you do not need to plan anything special. Knowing they will be there is enough. Augustine knew that joy too, long before our WhatsApp groups.
JESUS, THE BILLS ARE ON THE TABLE.
You opened the banking app just to check. Now you have fetched the calculator too. Rent, electricity, food, an appointment you cannot postpone: every figure finds its place except the amount that should remain. Then you remember Jesus' words about not worrying over tomorrow. And you want to ask: yes, but have you seen these bills?
MARY HAD TO LEAVE HOME.
Some keys stay with you even when you no longer open that door. In a box, a drawer, the bottom of a bag. Moving house is a happy project for some people. For others it means leaving somewhere without choosing to. In the Gospel, Jesus' family also experiences a departure driven by danger.
GOD, IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE TALKED.
You had not planned to go in. The church door was open, outside was noisy and you stopped. Now you are sitting with your bag on your knees, unsure what to say. A childhood prayer returns, but feels distant. Eventually you find only this sentence: God, it has been a long time since we talked.
GOD, TODAY IS A HOLIDAY. BUT I AM WORKING.
The family group is deciding when to meet. You check your shift. You already know you will arrive late, or will not be there this time. You prepare to leave while others can still sleep. You may not feel sad: perhaps you love your work. But today you also wish for a whole holiday of your own.
“WHEN ARE YOU GETTING MARRIED?” MEANWHILE, I AM LIVING.
The question comes as you pass the bread. Someone mentioned a wedding and now everyone looks at you: when will you settle down? Sometimes you can smile. At other times you want to ask why your life as it is must always appear provisional. Perhaps you want to fall in love. That does not mean you are doing nothing but waiting meanwhile.
AT THE REFETTORIO, SETTING THE TABLE IS WELCOME TOO.
A clean plate, a ready chair, someone who knows your name. At home we often do these things without thinking. Yet they can change how welcome a person feels. In Milan, Refettorio Ambrosiano has built a project around a meal in which space, beauty and relationships with those sitting at the table matter too.
TONINO ZUGARELLI TALKS TO GOD IN THE CAR TOO.
Some journeys are almost memorised. The bend, the traffic light, where the congestion begins. For Tonino Zugarelli, travelling to work is a space for prayer too. He told Vatican News very directly that he prays in the car, or rather talks to the Lord. A sentence bringing faith into an ordinary morning.
University meets the gym: UniMarconi presents The Gym Hub in Rome
In Prati, sports-science expertise enters a space dedicated to movement. A development to discover, and a useful question for everyone: who guides us when we begin?

Event date: 26 october 2026
TERESA FOUND GOD AMONG THE POTS AND PANS. WHAT ABOUT US?
The sauce starts sticking just as the phone rings. There is a cup to move, something in the sink, bread you forgot to take out. You had thought of taking a moment to pray. You will do it afterwards, when everything is sorted. But afterwards keeps changing its appointment.
THE RISEN JESUS ASKS FOR FOOD. A DETAIL THAT BRINGS HIM CLOSER.
You have set the table without doing anything special. Two plates, water, something that has cooled because you began telling each other about your day. Sometimes a person sitting opposite is enough to change the sound of an evening. Life passes through this too: somebody is here, takes some bread, listens.
GRANDMA’S ROSARY. AND WORDS YOU CAN FIND AGAIN.
You were looking for something completely different. A key, a photograph, a button to sew back on. At the bottom of the drawer you find a rosary, and for a moment you seem to remember its sound before you have even picked it up. Beads slipping through fingers, a quiet voice, words said together.
GOD, I LONG FOR A CHILD. CAN I TELL YOU HOW MUCH IT HURTS?
The news arrives in the group chat while you are doing something else. A photograph, hearts, the first congratulations. You are happy for them. Then you need to put down your phone. You realise your smile stopped halfway and feel sorry about that too: you wish you could simply be happy.
GOD, TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY.
Your phone lights up early. The first message arrived at midnight; another includes a photograph you hoped had disappeared forever. Someone calls while you are having breakfast. Somebody remembers the date without needing a reminder and, with very few words, makes you feel thought of.
I BELIEVE, HE DOESN’T. WHAT ABOUT SUNDAY?
You are looking for your keys. He suggests going out for breakfast, perhaps leaving town before the traffic builds. You remind him you want to attend Mass. For a moment neither of you knows how to continue: it sounds like a question of timing, but underneath is something much larger for you both.
I’M CALLING JUST TO ASK HOW YOU ARE.
You open your contacts to ask for something. An address, a document, the name of that shop. Then you scroll a little further and find someone you have not spoken to for a while. You think you should call. Immediately you look for a better reason, as though asking how they are were not enough.
GIOVANNA AND TONINO: A LOVE THAT MAKES ROOM FOR OTHERS.
Some couples first become known to you through an anniversary. A photograph, a cake, the number of years spent together. The duration strikes you. Then you want to know what that time contains: habits, changes, choosing one another again and the people encountered along the way.

HALLOWEEN AND FAITH: LET’S TALK WITHOUT FEAR!
An evening to dress up, something sweet to share, and the debate that returns every October: can you celebrate Halloween if you believe in God? Let’s explore it with curiosity and a little lightness, leaving every family room to find its own way.

IGNATIUS LOOKED AT THE STARS. WHEN DID YOU LAST LOOK UP?
You step onto the balcony to bring in a top from the washing line. Your phone is still in your hand and you are thinking about the reply you need to send. Then, for a moment, you look up. A little sky shows between the rooftops. One light, perhaps two. You realise you have been coming out here for days without stopping.
THE BABY IS CRYING AT MASS. HOW DO WE LOOK AT THEM?
First she tries the dummy. Then a hand on his back, rocking the pushchair, a whisper meant to calm them both. The baby keeps crying. She looks up to see where she might move and meets someone's gaze. She cannot tell whether it is annoyed. Already, she feels she is in the way.
MARY DOES NOT ONLY SPEAK SOFTLY.
You have something important to say. You rehearse it in your head, look for the moment, wait for someone to finish. Then another person starts speaking and you put it off. When you finally find an opening, you begin with an apology: it is probably silly, perhaps I am wrong, I do not want to bother anyone.
GOD, I DON’T KNOW HER. BUT TODAY I’M TALKING TO YOU ABOUT HER.
You were scrolling through the news while waiting your turn. A headline, a photograph, a few lines. You kept reading, then put your phone down. You do not know this person. You would not even recognise her in the street. Yet the thought stayed with you.
GOD, TOMORROW IS MY FIRST DAY.
Your clothes have been on the chair since before dinner. You have checked the time, the route and how much extra time to allow. You told yourself you would stop thinking about it now. Ten minutes later you are looking up the address again, as though it might have moved during the evening.
THAT CONFIDENCE WASN’T YOURS TO FORWARD TO THE GROUP.
You have just finished reading. She has told you something important, perhaps beginning with a familiar sentence: I am only telling you because I trust you. You stay with the message for a moment. Then you think somebody in the group would surely know what to say.
KNOWING WHAT TO SAY. FINALLY BEING ABLE TO SAY IT.
You know the sentence. You prepared it while waiting. Then your turn comes and the words take a longer route: you search for a verb, get an ending wrong, worry that the other person will lose patience. What you wanted to explain was simple. Saying it in a language you are still learning is anything but.
MAX LAUDADIO: WHAT IF HAPPINESS WERE SOMETHING ELSE?
When I get there, I will be happy. Perhaps we do not put it quite like that, but sometimes we organise our days around this promise: a job, a home, an achievement that should finally put our inner lives in order too. Then we arrive and discover that the question has followed us.

Event date: 19 october 2026
THAT PERSON GETS ON YOUR NERVES. THÉRÈSE KNEW THE FEELING.
Tiny sounds can suddenly seem to fill an entire room. A clicking pen. A teaspoon being stirred forever. A habit you recognise before the person beside you even begins. You tell yourself it is nothing. Meanwhile, you feel your irritation rising.
IS THERE ROOM AT YOUR TABLE FOR SOMEONE WHO CANNOT INVITE YOU BACK?
You are counting chairs. You have decided what to cook, checked everyone’s food preferences and told the group when to arrive. The list is nearly ready. It feels lovely to imagine an evening together and the people around your table.
DON’T TELL ME TO BE STRONG. STAY HERE.
Someone calls to ask how you are. You would like to say that today you do not know yourself. Instead, you say you are holding on, carrying on, trying to be strong. Then you hang up and realise that you have mostly reassured the person who called.
GOD, TODAY I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING LOVELY.
The news arrived while you were doing something else. You reread the message, smiled at your phone and immediately looked for the name of someone to tell. Perhaps you had waited weeks for that reply. Or perhaps it is something small that has filled you with joy today.
I STILL FIND MYSELF SAYING YOUR NAME OUT LOUD.
You want to say their name when something funny happens. When you pass a place you knew together. When some news makes you think you would have known exactly whom to call. Sometimes you actually say it, almost before noticing.
“DID YOU GET THE BREAD?” BUT HOW ARE WE DOING?
You have exchanged fourteen messages. Bread, a bill, who is collecting what, tomorrow’s schedule. You know almost everything about organising the day. Then you sit together on the sofa and realise you do not know how the person beside you really feels.
HERE YOU CHOOSE YOUR GROCERIES. EVEN WHEN YOU NEED HELP.
In front of a shelf, you make lots of small choices. The children like that pasta, you know how to cook that ingredient, another is unsuitable for a dietary need. They seem like details. Then you imagine no longer choosing anything, not even what reaches your family’s table.
SISTER TOSCA WAS A POLICE OFFICER. A HUG SHE REFUSED LEFT HER WITH A QUESTION.
Sometimes a question begins long after an encounter. A scene returns while you are doing something else; a word keeps working within you. You notice that the way you responded says something about you. And you do not want to turn away.
CATERINA TAKES THE STAGE! REMEMBER ‘AEROPLANO’?
A voice alongside Max Pezzali, the Nineties back on our screens and a singer worth rediscovering. The 883 series brings Caterina Rappoccio into the story. To meet the real woman, there is also a video: Caterina, Red Ronnie and a memory from Roxy Bar.
Event date: 23 october 2026
THE JOB WAS GOING WELL. HE WASN’T SO SURE.
Everyone says you are good at it. They give you more responsibility and assume you will stay. Recognition feels lovely. Then comes the question you struggle to place: if this work suits me so well, why do I keep imagining myself somewhere else?
WHEN YOU CANNOT GET UP, SOMEONE CAN HELP CARRY YOU.
You read the message. Your friend has cancelled again: she cannot face it. You want to help but fear intruding. So you leave a heart and think: she will contact me when she feels better.
MARY LISTENS TO TWO OLDER PEOPLE. AND DISCOVERS SOMETHING NEW.
You already know how the story begins. You have heard it so often: that workplace, the old family home, going out to make a phone call. Coat in hand, another appointment waiting, you almost finish the sentence for them.
GOD, WHY DON’T I LIKE MY BODY?
It was a lovely photograph: your friends, warm light, an evening worth remembering. You immediately zoomed in on one detail and asked for another picture. In the second, you found something else to correct.
GOD, STOP MY THUMB BEFORE I PRESS SEND.
You have written it all, including the sentence you know will hurt. Added a full stop, deleted an emoji, read it again. Part of you thinks they will finally understand. Another part knows you will immediately start checking whether they have read it.
WOMEN IN THE CHURCH: SO MANY GIFTS TO HELP FLOURISH!
Teaching, study, volunteering and community projects: women bring precious gifts to the Church. How can we recognise and nurture them?
BRING DINNER TO THE PERSON LOOKING AFTER EVERYONE.
It is nearly eight. You asked your friend about her mother, heard about the appointment and said how well she was managing. Then you opened your fridge. Perhaps she has not thought about dinner yet.
GIOVANNI SCIFONI: WHEN LAUGHTER MAKES ROOM FOR QUESTIONS.
Some conversations about faith seem to demand a different voice before you begin: serious, composed, with the right words. Then someone tells you about a stumble, makes you laugh and, as you laugh, you realise the question involves you too.
A hundred kilos of tenderness: Annautaq, someone is looking after you now!
