Advent latern - 2021

The thoughts of Dr. Jakubinyi György Archbishop Emeritus 

Saturday, December 18: Mt 1,18-24: The birth of Jesus.

According to the custom of the Jews at that time, being engaged gave the right to live like in marriage. St. Joseph was away from Nazareth for a long time at the time of the greeting of the angel, his bride was still in her parents' house. When she answered to the angel, the Word was incarnate in her immaculate heart, to be born nine months later in Bethlehem. When St Joseph returned home after a long field trip, he noticed that his wife was expecting a child. Why did Mary not explain to St Joseph what had happened? Who would have ever believed such story? Mary remained silent, she knew that she would not be believed, but she also knew that if God had arranged it this way, he would make sure that St Joseph found out the truth. On 8 December we ended the extraordinary Holy Year of St Joseph. Saint Joseph, patron saint of the Mother Church, pray for us!

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).
