Mary, the Holy Mother of God

A welcoming heart

We begin this new day of the new year with the Feast of Mary, the Mother of God. In today’s Gospel, the shepherds, who often lived on the fringes of society, facing rejection and isolation, journeyed to witness the arrival of her newborn child. With open hearts, Mary and Joseph welcomed these humble visitors, embodying the spirit of compassion and inclusion in their joyful moment.

7th day within the octave of Christmas

Eternity steps into time

Today's gospel states, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” As we look back on the events of this year, we can recall moments when darkness seemed overwhelming, marked by uncertainty, loss, worry, loneliness, and tiredness. And yet, somehow, the Light kept shining. We may not always have seen it clearly, but it guided us step by step, sometimes only enough for that very day. The Light of Christ has carried us to this moment.

Vincentians sisters’ mission of compassion for children in Russia

The Vincentian Fathers arrived in Russia in Nizhnyj Tagil in 1997 to serve where a minority of the population was Christian. What began as a response to hungry children became a long-lasting ministry of compassion.

Sr Antonia Lednicka, a Daughter of Charity of St Vincent de Paul (DC), who hails from Slovakia, has been a religious for 30 years and has served in Russia for 23 years.

“Fr Tomaž Mavrič, CM, one of the pioneers, moved by the plight of seeing children roaming on the streets, hungry, cold, and forgotten, was concerned and talked about the issue with the parishioners, then with the...

The Holy Family is close to every family in its hardships says Archbishop

“God encourages and comforts each of us according to our state of life: as husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, children and young people; as wider family members and single people; the elderly, the widowed, and as families who feel fragile, wounded, or incomplete,” he said in a pastoral letter issued for the feast of the Holy Family, Sunday Dec 28.

He added: “The Holy Family stands close to the members of every home as, moment by moment, we trust that God is present, even when the way forward seems unclear.” Wilson said Mary, Joseph and Jesus had “experienced upheaval and danger.

They were refugees who fled to Egypt for safety, a reminder to us all to welcome those in need. Joseph kept faithful to what God had revealed, and Mary held everything in prayerful trust. (cf. Mt 2:13–23). When our own families face uncertainty, illness, grief, or broken relationships, we too need to hold fast in faith and prayer.”

Pope Leo: Gambling ruins families

The “demographic crisis,” the “struggles” of families and young people, social isolation among the elderly, the “silent cry” of the poor, environmental pollution, and “social conflicts” are among the biggest problems faced by towns and cities across Italy, Pope Leo said on Monday.

The Pope was speaking during a meeting with mayors from the Assocazione Nazionale dei Comuni Italiani (‘National Association of Italian Local Authorities’) in the Vatican on the Dec 29.

Tackling these problems, the Pope said, requires first of all listening to the voices of the weak and the poor. Otherwise, he stressed, “democracy atrophies, becomes just a name, a formality.”

Closeness is the legacy of the Jubilee, says Cardinal at closing of St John Lateran Holy Door

“Today, by closing the Holy Door, we raise to the Father a hymn of thanksgiving for all the signs of His love for us, while we keep in our hearts the awareness and hope that His embrace of mercy and peace remains open to all peoples,” said Cardinal Baldassare Reina, Vicar General of Rome and Archpriest of the Basilica of St John Lateran.

The Cardinal’s prayer echoed in the atrium of the Basilica on the morning of Saturday, Dec 27, as he presided over the solemn rite of the closing of its Holy Door.

The cardinal ascended the steps in silence, then knelt on the threshold in prayer, before rising and closing the large door, while he bowed his head in a sign of reverence. Many faithful then approach the threshold and placed their hands upon it in a gesture of prayer and recollection.

6th day within the octave of Christmas

Anna, the faithful prophetess

In today’s gospel, we see Anna, a faithful servant of God, who patiently awaited the arrival of the promised Messiah. Living in the temple, Anna dedicated her life to prayer, allowing her to remain attuned to God’s presence around her. Her deep connection to God enabled her to recognise the signs of His coming and to listen attentively as He revealed Himself through various events and people. When she encountered baby Jesus, she instantly recognised Him as the long-awaited Messiah, fulfilling her hopes she had clung to for so long. Anna’s story reminds us of the importance of faith, patience and discernment as we seek to understand and celebrate God’s unfolding plan in our lives.

Rain fails to dampen spirit at ACS Sibu Christmas parade

Despite the steady rain, about 6,000 faithful gathered for the Association of Churches in Sarawak (ACS) Sibu Christmas Parade on Dec 13, bringing the message of hope to the community of Sibu.

Equipped with umbrellas, caps and raincoats, participants assembled at Dataran Tun Tuanku Bujang Phase 1, joyfully embracing the celebration under the theme Jesus, Our Blessed Hope. The rain did little to dampen the spirit of unity.

Organised by the ACS Sibu branch and hosted by the Roman Catholic Church, the two-kilometre parade wound through the town centre, featuring lively marching bands, creatively decorated floats and enthusiastic members from various churches.
