Advent latern - 2021

The thoughts of Archbishop Dr. Kovács Gergely

It is so easy for us to forget God's ways and walk elsewhere but in his paths. We can discover this in our relationships whenever we do not build, we do not heal, but we destroy, we hurt, we do not spread the culture of life but instead we disseminate the culture of death. God has us make ploughshare and sickle instead of sword and spear as His path is the way of life. Let us follow God's path this Advent.

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).
