ADVENT LANTERN (daily meditations),

The thoughts of Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus Tamás József
With what kind of power are you doing all of this? – sounded the question asked by the Great Priests and the Folks Sages from Jesus, when he was teaching in the temple of Jerusalem. Because their intention was not honest, the answer itself was another question, which also had the role to demask them. With what kind of power do I do, what I do? What is leading me in my actions, what is the pushing force behind my deeds? I should ask myself these questions. It is not the same, what and why I do what I do. My deeds receive value when I do them for God's glory. The nicest feature of our preparation for Christmas, is when we do it according to this short praise: “For you Jesus”.

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).
