World Day of Migrants and Refugees Sunday 15th January.
For this reason, on the occasion of the annualWorld Day of Migrants and Refugees. I feel compelled to draw
attention to the reality of child migrants, especially the ones who are alone. In doing so I ask everyone to take care of
the young who, in a threefold way, are defenceless: they are children, they are foreigners, and they have no means to
protect themselves. I ask everyone to help those who, for various reasons, are forced to live far from their
homeland and are separated from their families. Message from Pope Francis.

Christmas
On this night, like a burst of brilliant light, there rings out the proclamation of the Apostle. “Gods grace has been
revealed, and it has made salvation possible for the whole human race”. The grace which was revealed in our world
is Jesus, born of the Virgin Mary, true man and true God. He has entered our history; he has shared our journey.
He came to free us from darkness and to grant us light. In him was revealed the grace. the mercy, and the tender
love of the Father. Jesus is Love incarnate. Pope Francis.

The Coming of Jesus.
In fact, the Lord comes twice. His first coming is what we are about to commemorate, his physical birth. Then, he
will come at the end of time, at the close of history. However, St. Bernard tells us that there is a third coming
of the Lord: his coming o us each day: each day, the Lord visits his Church. He visits each one of us. And our soul
also enters into his likeness: our soul comes to resemble the Church: our soul comes to resemble Mary. Therefore,
our souls are waiting in anticipation for the coming of the Lord, open souls calling out: Come, Lord! Over the course
of these days the Holy Spirit moves in the heart of each one of us, forming this prayer within us: come, come.
Pope Francis.
