Mass at Santa Marta – There is no humility without humiliation

  • There can be neither humility nor holiness without taking the path of humiliation. Francis spoke of this truth as he recalled the story of David during Mass at Santa Marta on Monday morning, 1 February.

    “In the first reading the story of King David continues”, the Pope began, referring to the day’s passage from the Second Book of Samuel (15:13-14, 30; 16:5-13)…

Position Paper on the Bill on Conversion Therapy

February 2016

  • The legislation, which is being proposed on the affirmation of sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, is apparently seeking to protect a category of people who may find it hard and painful to come to terms  with their condition as being different from that of their peers or the rest of the population.

Pope: ‘no human condition grounds for exclusion by God’

  • Pope Francis said on Sunday that “No human condition constitutes grounds for exclusion from the heart of the Father.” The Pope was speaking during the Angelus prayer in St. Peter’s Square on the day upon which we mark the International Day of Leprosy. The only privilege in the eyes of God – Pope Francis told the crowds gathered in St. Peter’s Square – is to have no privileges and to be abandoned in His hands.” 

    And calling on all men and women to guard themselves against the temptation of treating religion as a human investment and of thinking they can “bargain” with God seeking to obtain their own interests, the Pope urged the faithful to open their hearts to the Lord and to his Revelation…
