Advent latern - 2021

The thoughts of Bishop Emeritus Tamás József

19 December, 4th Sunday of Advent

As we approach Christmas, we contact our loved ones, good friends and acquaintances, we send greetings cards or we visit them. We send them our festive wishes or gifts. It is love and appreciation for them that makes us do so. It is the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary that the Christians follow. Having undertaken a journey of several days, she visited her relative, Elizabeth, after learning from the angel Gabriel that God had been gracious to her and had given her a child. What a great experience this visit was for both of them. Such a great experience can be our Christmas visit to the church, in which we meet the Lord who has was born, descended to earth for us.  Such a great experience can be in our celebrations, and in all the encounters with our fellow human beings through our love. Let us set out, then, with Our Lady, to share in the graces of these holy days, meeting the Lord and our fellow human beings.

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.

Message of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV for the 112th World Day of Migrants and Refugees

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).

Message of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV for the 11th World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation 2026

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).
