47% of migrants are Christians, totaling around 130 million people.

75 years ago to the day a new agenda was set for Europe influenced by the former Pope Leo (XIII). As Europe reflects on the accord established in 1950 a new Pope Leo (XIV) emerges at a time of fresh geopolitical turmoil, with some in the developed world returning to utilitarian self-interest. There is hope that the new pope will be a biblically-informed global influence for humanitarian restraint.
In face of increasing stress, overwhelming demands, and volatile change, we might reach for the term "burnout" to describe the way we feel. But we need to ensure we're using the term correctly. Are we just tired, overwhelmed, or overworked? If so, rest and/or change can help. If it is truly burnout, external assistance may be required. This opinion can help you consider what you need.
