ADVENT LANTERN (daily meditations)
November 30, Monday – The Feast of St. Andrew the Apostle
Dr. Kerekes László auxiliary bishop
John the Baptist showed Jesus to St. Andrew.And Andrew showed the Messiah to his brother, Peter. To find God, to show the way towards God: it is a wonderful Advent resolution. St. Andrew can draw back, stay in the background without resentment or bad feelings. We should also be tools in the hands of God: the tools of God’s humble love, and be together him. Jesus calls us in the same way as he called the apostles: „Come and follow me!” The apostles left their nets immediately. What about us?

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).
