During Christmas and New Year, when many people are suffering from hunger, cold, loneliness, and despair, and when many hearts have been hardened by hatred, violence, selfishness, and apathy, there is a greater need than ever to welcome a Savior: the Messiah, the Lord...

On this Christmas eve, we share this message from the collective: A Jerusalem Voice for Justice, an ecumenical witness for equality and a just peace in Palestine/Israel.Let us not forget that Jesus, Mary, and Joseph are part of this story, and that today they have concrete faces in all those who mourn their missing and dead, suffering the injustice of a fratricidal war.

10 December 2025 | Nairobi — As the world marks the 77th anniversary of Human Rights Day, the Jesuit Justice and Ecology Network Africa (JENA) reflects on the enduring legacy of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), adopted in 1948 in the wake of global conflict and profound human suffering. Its central message—that every human being possesses inherent dignity and inalienable rights—remains as urgent today as it was then.

Over the past month, we have witnessed many positive developments, both before and during our participation at COP30. I can say that the Jesuit Campaign for Climate Justice has been a success until now. While those of us who prepared and attended COP in Brazil gained valuable insights, it remains clear that much work remains ahead...

Most media outlets have painted a disastrous picture of the thirtieth COP, held this year in Belém, Brazil—on the edge of both the Amazon rainforest and the ocean. Yet, when examined more carefully, the overall picture is less bleak than it first appears...

A Jerusalem Voice for Justice: an ecumenical witness for equality and a just peace in Palestine/Israel

Around Belém, Pará, Brazil where COP30 is being held, communities that care for their land are meeting on concerns also tackled in the UN climate summit. But these communities are not listened to in the expanding world of COP that appears like a visiting circus in the city, with all its buses, posters, and greenwashing of Parque da Cidade (City Park), a new urban park built to host the COP30 conference center.

COP as a spiritual experience sounds like a contradiction in action and in being. For many, it will begin to happen on the way home with so much tiredness, along with transit flights for most. There is much acceptance that this is the way things are and is a realization also of self-limitations. Perhaps there is a sadness in what was not achieved or expected.
