Dr. Kerekes László auxiliary bishop
November 29, the 1st Sunday of Advent
The prophets and saints were the nonconformists of their time: they would not fit into a structure that was distancing from God. They were awake and vigilant: they saw what was good, what was worthy, but they also saw the distance. The Advent Season reminds us to be similarly vigilant.
The Advent Season begins today as we prepare for Christmas. The four weeks of Advent prepare us for the arrival of the Lord, for his birth into our hearts. Each and every day of this Advent season we get closer to the feast. Each and every day gives us the opportunity to get closer to God. Let us start on our Advent journey and at the same time God starts toward us in order to meet at Christmas. The more we get ourselves spiritually prepared, the more intimate our meeting with Jesus becomes.

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).
