November 30Pope Francis admits he is not an economist, but he is a pastor. And as a pastor, he has seen how the global economy has cast aside many members of his flock, and he knows that the Gospel and Catholic social teaching call for a different response. "Solidarity is not the sharing of crumbs from the table, but to make space at the table for everyone," Pope Francis said in a new book written with Austen Ivereigh. The book, Let Us Dream: The Path to A Better Future, was to be published December 1 by Simon & Schuster. The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) announces a new online weekly video series created to help Canadian Catholic faithful to prepare for the celebration of the birth of Jesus. Entitled Journey through Advent, the series is a joint project involving the CCCB’s Office national de liturgie, the National Liturgy Office, and the Office for Evangelization and Catechesis. The initiative was developed as a way, through the modern method of video messaging, to offer a resource that enriches faith formation during a time of joyful anticipation for the coming of the Lord and Saviour into the world.Read More

A new liturgical year is upon us, which begins with the season of Advent. We may find it difficult to be joyfully expectant amidst such great uncertainty. The realities of the pandemic have added stress and often emotional anguish to many among us, particularly those on the front lines, and those who may feel isolated. Jesus does not turn a blind eye to our suffering; he calls us to draw near to him so that we can experience his peace in our trials. We must be ready and willing to tend to the needs of others as we are able as apostles of mercy, and accompany each other during this time of pandemic, never forgetting those most in need.Read More -

Voici qu'une nouvelle année liturgique s'annonce, et avec elle le temps de l'Avent. Il peut être difficile d'espérer dans la joie alors que nous vivons une période de si grande incertitude. Les réalités de la pandémie ont ajouté du stress et causé de l'angoisse émotionnelle pour beaucoup d'entre nous, en particulier les intervenants de première ligne et les gens qui peuvent se sentir isolés. Jésus ne ferme pas les yeux sur nos souffrances ; il nous appelle à nous rapprocher de lui, pour que nous puissions vivre sa paix dans nos épreuves. Nous devons être prêts et disposés à répondre aux besoins des autres dans la mesure du possible, en tant qu'apôtres de la miséricorde, et à nous accompagner les uns les autres pendant cette période de pandémie, n'oubliant jamais ceux qui sont dans le plus grand besoin.Read More -
