(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis celebrated Mass in the chapel of the Casa Santa Marta on Thursday morning. In remarks to the faithful following the readings of the day, the Holy Father reflected on the unique and unrepeatable opportunities each day offers to  grow in faith and love of God.The day in which we have received God's lovePope Francis took as the focal point of his reflections the text from Psalm 95, which the author of the Letter to the Hebrews took up in the 3rd chapter, a portion of which was read at Mass. There is “only one ‘today’, in our lives,” – only one real, concrete today. Our temptation and everyone’s temptation is to say: “Yes, I will do tomorrow,” though this is the temptation of a “‘tomorrow’ there will not be,” as Jesus says in the parable of the ten virgins – the five foolish ones who had not taken oil with them along with their lamps, then find the door locked when they ...

Janusz S. Urbanczyk.“This worrying reality spurs us to action,” – the Vatican diplomat continued – “Peace, and peaceful co-existence, must be at the top of our Organization’s agenda. For that very reason the Holy See will support any and all initiatives … that seek to advance the cause of peace and stability, especially when such initiatives strive to defuse conf...
