Christopher Francis: The Vatican
On December 5, Pope Francis has made clear the positive impact of the word of God in all situations of our lives through a message posted on his Twitter page.
The Pope’s Twitter message says that the Word of God, which permeates all aspects of our lives, makes us listen to the sufferings of our brothers and sisters, the cries of the poor, the violence and injustice that hurts society and the planet.
Through listening, the Holy Word helps us not to be Christians who ignore them, but to live effectively, creatively and godly, the Pope said.
Also, the meeting of the C-9 Cardinal Council, which advises the Pope on the liturgical reform work, has started today.
Mass on December 12 at St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican
The Latin American Papal Organization has announced that Pope Francis will preside over the Holy Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica of the Vatican on Monday, December 12, at 6:00 p.m. on the occasion of the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Empress of the United States and the protector of the Philippines.
More than five centuries after the apparition of Our Lady in Guadalupe, the organization invites Catholics throughout the Americas to reflect on the meaning of Jesus Christ’s presence in the continent through Our Lady.
The statement issued by the organization says that Avvanna has left us the best example of culturalization in the work of evangelization, and that every country in the American continent should follow Avvanna’s recommendation to face the challenge presented to it.
