MESSAGE OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS FOR LENT 2024

Through the Desert God
Leads us to Freedom
Dear brothers and sisters!
When our God reveals himself, his message is always one of freedom: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery” (Ex 20:2).
The Spirit will lead you
We inform you with great joy that the XIX General Chapter of the "Missionary Daughters of Calvary" began on May 6th, in our General House, located in Via Giulio Galli, 30 (RM).
Just over 139 years have passed since the foundation of our Institute (which took place on 19 January 1885) and our charism and mission are still relevant today.
The Chapter began with the Eucharistic celebration presided over by the Bishop…. Who in the homily reminded us of the importance of this "synodal" event, and the joy of being able to bear witness to and announce the Gospel together.
SAINTS JOACHIM AND ANNA

A few days from celebrating the grandparents and seniors, today we celebrate in a special way to the grandparents of Jesús, Saints Joaquín and Anna. I am this “fertil land” of the one who speaks the Evangelio of today, in which she brotaroned the Virgen María y Jesús.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Consecrated Life, I am writing to you as the Successor of Peter, to whom the Lord entrusted the task of confirming his brothers and sisters in faith (cf. Lk 22:32). But I am also writing to you as a brother who, like yourselves, is consecrated to God. |
