The thoughts of Dr. Kerekes László auxiliary bishop

We long for life in a suffering world, in the culture of death. It is a vicious cycle that has been present since the Fall. We are influenced and tempted by the world, so often we do not choose life. Our true hope is the promise of God: he made the Blessed Virgin the mother of all living, and therefore protected her from the original sin. God is faithful to his promise even today as he has destined life for us. Mary's yes begins the unfolding of our redemption so that we may be part of the eternal life.

For World Mission Day 2026, which marks the centenary of a celebration established by Pius XI that is very dear to the Church, I have chosen the theme “One in Christ, united in mission.” Following the Jubilee Year, I wish to encourage the whole Church to continue its missionary journey with joy and zeal in the Holy Spirit.

Each year the World Day of Migrants and Refugees invites us to turn our attention to different aspects of the complex phenomenon of migration. For this 112th World Day, the theme, “Even just one of these children,” draws our attention to the minors directly involved in the experience of migration and flight, to the care owed to them, and to the Lord’s promise that “whoever receives one such child in my name receives me” (Mk 9:37).

Dear brothers and sisters, the path before us is clear, though it is not easy. We are called to allow our hearts to be renewed, so that we might seek peace and care for creation. Scripture tells us to guard our hearts, for everything we do flows from them (cf. Prov 4:23).
