Christ the Messiah, the giver of “new life” comes in three ways: He came 2016 years ago; He will come at the end of time; and He comes to us in our daily lives in events, people, Sacraments, the Scriptures and at death.Daily events are centred around and in the cultures of the people. Therefore, as the Messiah comes, He comes to evangelise our cultures. A culture of a people is its religion. It defines them and presents these people’s world-view. How do they perceive things and the world? According to John S. Mbiti in the book, Introduction to African Religion, “Religion has been for Africans the normal way of looking at the world and life experience itself. For that reason, it is found whether people are. It is integrated so much into different areas of life that in fact most of the African languages do not have a word for religion as such. They only have words for religious ideas, practices and objects or places.”As a people, we wait for the Messiah...
The Catholic Bishop of Nsukka diocese in Nigeria, Godfrey Onah says that Christians and Nigerians must continue to be joyful at Christmas even though things may be difficult in their lives.The Bishop who is also the Episcopal Chairperson of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) on social communications said this in his Christmas message titled “Joy to the world, though the times are tough." In the message, Bishop Onah noted that as “Christmas pervades the air, everybody smells it, everybody feels it. The enthusiasm, the preparations, the expectations, and the projects (are such that) no other feast in the year, anywhere in the world has that level of importance and excitement.”He explains that the birth of Christ, the incarnation is an eruption of God in human history. Underscoring the many challenges that Nigerians are facing amidst the many failed promises of Nigerian governments to alleviate their problems,  Bishop Onah said that, &l...
(Vatican Radio) The Holy See on Saturday published the motivations of the sentence that found Spanish Msgr. Lucio Angel Vallejo Balda guilty of leaking Vatican documents to the press.He was sentenced to 18 months in prison. However Pope Francis this week had his jail sentence commuted and Vallejo Balda was put under “conditional freedom” because he had already served more than half of said sentence.During the trial dubbed "Vatileaks II", Vallejo Balda was found guilty and convicted while accomplice, Francesca Chaouqui, was found guilty of conspiring in the crime, but was not charged with the actual leak of the documents given a lack of evidence. She was sentenced to 10 months in prison for her role; however, the sentence was suspended for five years.Among the motivations of the sentence regarding Vallejo Balda are questions regarding freedom of thought and the fact that the leaked documents do not put any fundamental interests of the Church or of Vatican City...
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis has urged Christians to allow themselves to be challenged by the Child in the manger, and also by the children of today’s world, so many of whom are suffering.During the Holy Christmas Mass homily, celebrated in St. Peter’s  Basilica on Saturday evening, Christmas Eve, the Pope spoke of those children “who are not lying in a cot caressed with the affection of a mother and father” , of those hiding underground to escape bombardment, of those  on the the bottom of a boat overladen with immigrants.“Let us allow ourselves to be challenged by the children who are not allowed to be born, by those who cry because no one satiates their hunger, by those who do have not toys in their hands, but rather weapons” he said.Please find below the official translation of  the full text of Pope Francis’ homily:“The grace of God has appeared for the salvation of all men” (Tit 2:11).  The words of th...
Vatican City, Dec 24, 2016 / 03:01 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- On Christmas Eve, Pope Francis noted how the coming of Jesus as an infant is paradoxical to the images of grandeur that had accompanied the prophesies on the coming of the Messiah, saying this should challenges us to go beyond the ephemeral and focus on what really counts.“If we want to celebrate Christmas authentically, we need to contemplate this sign: the fragile simplicity of a small newborn, the meekness of where he lies, the tender affection of the swaddling clothes. God is there,” the Pope said Dec. 24.This is the “enduring sign to find Jesus,” he said. “Not just then, but also today.”He noted how the day’s Gospel reading revealed “a paradox,” speaking of the emperor and mighty people of those times, yet God doesn’t manifest himself there.Jesus “does not appear in the grand hall of a royal palace, but in the poverty of a stable; not in pomp and show, but i...
