  1. On the International Day of Indigenous Women and Girls, Qur’an 33:35 offers a specific Islamic reflection: believing women and men are named together in faith, character, worship, and reward. It is not a substitute for listening to the distinct histories, cultures, and concerns of Indigenous women themselves.

  2. Broken Chair

    I rescued the chair from outside someone’s apartment with the hope of fixing it and having it become a welcome member of our family.

    But, as often happens, it sat around in various places waiting for me to find the time to repair it.

    Finally, I decided it was one more project I did not have time for, and so yesterday I put it out on the sidewalk in the hopes that someone would take it home.

    It sat out there all through yesterday in the rain and the sun, lonely, awaiting a new friend. A few people paused to look but then drove away. Periodically I would look out my window to see it still sitting forlornly there.

    Then this morning I noticed an older gentleman walking past who began to inspect the chair. He picked it up, put it on his back and walked away.

    It is a beautiful chair. It just needs to be repaired, and I am sure its new owner will do just that.

    I don’t know about you, but I feel a lot like that broken chair, waiting for the gentle hands of someone to put me back together again.

    I wait, broken, with the hope that those hands will touch me, I will be healed, and I can have a purpose again.

  3. World Day Against Child Labour 2026

    Lo scorso anno, su Perfettamente Chic, abbiamo approfondito il significato della Giornata Mondiale contro il Lavoro Minorile e le sfide ancora aperte nella tutela dei più piccoli. Se vi siete persi l’articolo, potete leggerlo qui:

    Anche nel 2026, oggi, il 12 giugno torna la World Day Against Child Labour, promossa dall’International Labour Organization, con un messaggio forte e immediato: “Red Card to Child Labour: Fair Play for Children, Decent Work for Adults”. In altre parole? Un vero e proprio cartellino rosso contro lo sfruttamento dei bambini.

    La scelta del linguaggio sportivo non è casuale. Nel 2026 la campagna internazionale invita governi, aziende e cittadini a “espellere” il lavoro minorile dal campo di gioco della società, garantendo ai bambini ciò che dovrebbe essere normale: scuola, gioco, sicurezza e opportunità per il futuro.

    Le nuove stime diffuse a livello internazionale mostrano che i progressi continuano, ma la partita è tutt’altro che vinta. Nel mondo sono ancora circa 138 milioni i bambini coinvolti nel lavoro minorile, di cui oltre 54 milioni impegnati in attività pericolose per la loro salute e il loro sviluppo.

    Tra le novità più importanti del 2026 c’è il richiamo agli impegni assunti durante la Sesta Conferenza Globale sull’Eliminazione del Lavoro Minorile tenutasi a Marrakech, che ha portato alla definizione di un nuovo quadro d’azione internazionale per accelerare gli interventi nei prossimi anni.

    La Giornata Mondiale contro il Lavoro Minorile ci ricorda che ogni bambino dovrebbe avere tra le mani un libro, un pallone o una matita, non strumenti di lavoro. E se il tema 2026 parla di cartellini rossi, allora l’augurio è che il mondo intero giochi finalmente dalla parte dell’infanzia.

  5. Dear brothers and sisters! Because she was Jewish, Edith Stein was taken with her sister Rosa and many other Catholic Jews from the Netherlands to the concentration camp in Auschwitz, where she died with them in the gas chambers. Today we remember them all with deep respect. A few days before her deportation, the woman religious had dismissed the question about a possible rescue: “Do not do it! Why should I be spared? Is it not right that I should gain no advantage from my Baptism? If I cannot share the lot of my brothers and sisters, my life, in a certain sense, is destroyed”.

    From now on, as we celebrate the memory of this new saint from year to year, we must also remember the Shoah, that cruel plan to exterminate a people — a plan to which millions of our Jewish brothers and sisters fell victim. May the Lord let his face shine upon them and grant them peace (cf. Nm 6:25f.).

    For the love of God and man, once again I raise an anguished cry: May such criminal deeds never be repeated against any ethnic group, against any race, in any corner of this world! It is a cry to everyone: to all people of goodwill; to all who believe in the Just and Eternal God; to all who know they are joined to Christ, the Word of God made man. We must all stand together: human dignity is at stake. There is only one human family. The new saint also insisted on this: “Our love of neighbour is the measure of our love of God. For Christians — and not only for them — no one is a ‘stranger’. The love of Christ knows no borders”.
