Pope’s January prayer intention: For prayer with the Word of God

With the new year, Pope Leo XIV has thrown his support behind a renewed initiative known as “Pray with the Pope,” which brings his monthly prayer intentions to the Church throughout the world.

A press release noted that the new initiative continues Pope Francis’ desire to share papal prayer intentions by video and audio.

“This initiative aims to increase the visibility of the Pope’s prayer intentions, using a language suitable for prayer, in new formats, so as to better reach the faithful throughout the world, especially in today’s world of digital communication,” noted the statement.

Pope Leo XIV closes the Holy Door, concluding Jubilee Year of Hope on the Lord’s Epiphany

On Tuesday, marking the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord, Pope Leo XIV presided over Holy Mass in St Peter’s Basilica for some 5,800 faithful.

At the start of the Mass, the Pope closed the Holy Door of St Peter’s Basilica, the last of the Holy Doors opened for the Jubilee Year.

The gesture marked the end of months in which “a stream of innumerable men and women, pilgrims of hope,” crossed the threshold of the Basilica, journeying toward what the Pope described as “the new Jerusalem, the city whose doors are always open.”

Thursday after Epiphany Sunday

Being God’s instruments today

In today’s Gospel, Jesus returned to Nazareth, the place where He grew up. He entered the synagogue, read from the scroll of Isaiah, and announced words filled with power and promise: “The Spirit of the Lord has been given to me...” In that moment, Jesus revealed His mission to bring good news to the poor, liberty to captives, sight to the blind, and freedom to the oppressed. He declared that this prophecy was fulfilled “today” in their hearing. God’s loving presence is no longer distant or future—it is present, living, and embodied in Him.

Jubilee: The rite for the closing of the Holy Door at St Peter’s Basilica

On the occasion of the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord, on Jan 6 2026, Pope Leo XIV will close the Holy Door of St Peter’s Basilica, the last still open among the papal basilicas of Rome, thereby formally concluding the Holy Year, which began on Dec 24 2024.

The closing of the door leaves
In continuity with the practice established beginning in 1975—and further simplified by Saint John Paul II during the Great Jubilee of the Year 2000—the rite, which will begin at 9.30 am, no longer includes the public walling-up of the door, but is limited to the closing of the door leaves.

The Pope will recite the prayer of thanksgiving for the Ordinary Holy Year. The formula prescribed by the rite states: “This Holy Door is closed, but the door of Your mercy is not closed,” and continues with an invocation that the “treasures” of divine grace may remain open, “so that, at the end of our earthly pilgrimage, we may...

Wednesday after Epiphany Sunday

Christ’s presence brings peace

In today’s Gospel, Jesus saw His disciples looking tired and scared as they faced strong winds and big waves. He walked towards them on the water to remind them, and us, that He is in control of every storm we face. In our own lives, we often find ourselves facing strong winds and frightening storms. These challenges can manifest as temptations that shake our faith, family issues that strain our relationships, feelings of rejection that linger painfully, illnesses that challenge our strength, or the profound grief that accompanies the loss of loved ones. Each of these storms can feel isolating, yet Jesus reassures us that He remains in control of our circumstances, eager to guide us through the rough moments we endure.

Over 33 million pilgrims came to Rome for Jubilee Year

Almost 33.5 million pilgrims came to Rome during the Holy Year from 185 countries, said Archbishop Rino Fisichella, pro-prefect of the Dicastery for Evangelization and the Holy See’s official point man for the Jubilee on Monday, Jan 5.

He shared the statistics during a press conference at the Vatican giving a round-up on the last year, as Pope Leo XIV will officially conclude the Jubilee with the closing of the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica on Jan 6.

“The whole world came to Rome” during the Holy Year, said Archbishop Fisichella, highlighting how the initial projections estimated by the Roma Tre University – of around 31 million pilgrims – were exceeded.

Looking to Jerusalem and Jubilee of 2033, Pope Leo highlights path of unity

The commemoration of the 1,700th anniversary of the first Ecumenical Council continued on Saturday with a private ecumenical encounter at the Syriac Orthodox Church of Mor Ephrem in Istanbul.

Joining Pope Leo XIV and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I were representatives from the Eastern Orthodox Churches, the Oriental Orthodox Churches, and other Christian world communions and Ecumenical Organizations, including the Anglican Communion, the Lutheran World Federation, the Baptist World Alliance, the World Evangelical Alliance, and the World Council of Churches.

The meeting began with a hymn invoking the Holy Spirit as the heads of Churches and Christian Communities took their places at a round table designed to...

Youth, Faith, Hope Shine On!

Slightly over 100 youth from parishes across the Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur recently gathered at the Church of the Visitation for a faith-filled program celebrating unity, hope, and the vital role of young people in the Church.

The event began with registration, followed by an uplifting Praise and Worship session that brought together youth from all language groups in a spirit of joy and fellowship.

This was followed by a talk by Fr Michel Dass, who reflected on the Jubilee of Hope. He reminded the youth that they are never alone on their journey of faith and that true hope never disappoints. Fr Michel encouraged everyone to be people of hope, hopeful enough to walk together, support one another, and trust that God accompanies us through every...

Tuesday after Epiphany Sunday

Love comes from God

In today’s first reading, St John the Evangelist states, “My dear people, let us love one another, since love comes from God…” The desire to love does not originate from within us; it comes from God. Often, we tend to misuse the word “love” in various contexts, from loving desserts to loving a sport. Today, let us remember that the love described by St John is one that seeks the well-being of others. It is an unconditional and selfgiving love. We can love others because God has first loved us, and His love is working in us and through us.
