ADVENT LANTERN (daily meditations)

December 7. The thoughts of dr. Jakubinyi György Archbishop Emeritus

The neighbours of the cripple do everything to get him to Jesus: they lower him from the roof. Jesus heals him, thus indicating that the one who can heal the sick can also forgive the sins. This means that he is the Son of God. Let us also overcome every barrier and reach Jesus, and lead the others to him, too, so that he can heal us and our brothers and sisters of  our sicknesses, and through a good confession forgive all our sins.

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).
