    After ‘painful sciatica’ causes pope to skip Mass, Francis appears for New Year’s Angelus

    • Jan 1, 2021

    While he skipped morning Mass due to what the Vatican called a “painful sciatica,” Pope Francis was in the saddle again for his Angelus address later in the day, reflecting on the role of Mary as Mother of God and the need for a change in attitude at the end of a tumultuous year.

    Pope opens New Year with strong condemnation of violence against women

  • Pope on New Year’s: If you want peace, start with Mary and the crib

    • Jan 1, 2018

    Francis appeared to suggest Monday it’s not a coincidence that the World Day of Peace and the feast of Mary the Mother of God coincide. In fact, he seemed to say, the spiritual basis of real peace is to be found in Mary herself.

    Mary’s holy day a call to embrace bonds of unity and hope

    • Dec 31, 2016

    Today’s solemnity of Mary, Mother of God seems annually overshadowed by New Year celebrations (or by recovery efforts of these celebrations). The Biblically rich feast day appears to be viewed as some type of odd Christmas residue, and not cherished for its own depth and richness.

    By Father Jeffrey F. Kirby
