Yambio, South Sudan, Dec 14, 2016 / 03:04 am (CNA/EWTN News).- The Jubilee Year of Mercy was observed throughout the world but one bishop in South Sudan, suffering from war and famine, said it was especially needed in his country.“That was so timely for us in South Sudan, that a people have to learn to forgive one another,” Bishop Eduardo Hiiboro Kussala of the Diocese of Tombura-Yambio told CNA of Pope Francis’ proclamation of the Jubilee Year of Mercy, which lasted Dec. 8, 2015 to Nov. 20, 2016.“And we find that forgiveness to be the key to solving much of the problems in our country,” he added. “It’s not easy for serious crimes, for individuals or for families to forgive. This is a process,” and one that the Church is “continually talking to people” about.Bishop Kussala’s diocese is in the West Equatoria State, where he works with the Sudan Relief Fund to bring needed supplies those in his local Church.In December ...
Vatican City, Dec 14, 2016 / 04:54 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Pope Francis Wednesday spoke about the hope that the Child Jesus brings at Christmastime, saying it is our duty to be the messengers that bring his message to the world – a world that is thirsting for goodness.“The message of the Good News entrusted to us is urgent,” he said Dec. 14. “We must also run like the messenger of the mountains, because the world cannot wait, humanity is hungry and thirsty for justice, for truth and for peace.”The Pope spoke during his general audience for the third week of Advent, continuing the series of catechesis he began last week on Christian hope.Focusing on a passage from Book of Isaiah recounting how the messenger was “announcing peace” and “bringing good news,” the Pope said that we are also urged “to wake up, like Jerusalem.”“We are called to become men and women of hope, collaborating in the coming of this kingdom made ...

DIDYMOTEICHO, Greece (AP) -- This time of year, the Evros river runs broad and icy, its banks muddy and remote.

(Vatican Radio) In this week's edition of "There's More in the Sunday Gospel Than Meets the Eye," Jill Bevilacqua and Seàn-Patrick Lovett bring us readings and reflections for the Fourth Sunday of Advent. Listen: GOSPEL       Mt 1:18 - 24This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about.When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph,but before they lived together,she was found with child through the Holy Spirit.Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man,yet unwilling to expose her to shame,decided to divorce her quietly.Such was his intention when, behold,the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said,“Joseph, son of David,do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home.For it is through the Holy Spiritthat this child has been conceived in her.She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus,because he will save his people from their sins.”All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said ...
Is 7:10-14; Rom 1:1-7; Mt 1:18-24In 1915, Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton led an expedition to Antarctica which nearly ended in tragedy. His ship was caught in ice and eventually was crushed. The crew had to flee, taking with them what provisions they could carry. They drifted 150 miles on an ice floe to Elephant Island, where there was an old supply hut. From there Shackleton and a few of his men sailed 800 miles in a small boat on wild seas to South Georgia Island. After a near tragic landing (the rudder broke apart just as they reached a rocky shore) they made a nearly impossible crossing of a rugged mountain range to a whaling village on the opposite shore. Meanwhile, the men he left behind at Elephant Island had exhausted their supplies and had nearly given up hope that the ‘boss’ - that’s what they called Shackleton -would make it back to save them. But he did, and one can only imagine the excitement of those beleaguered men the day they sighted Shackleton&rsqu...
Mosul, Iraq, Dec 14, 2016 / 12:02 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Christians, Muslims and other victims of ISIS feel relief over the terrorist group being pushed back from the Nineveh Plain area of Northern Iraq, but challenges remain for the region as winter sets in.While he feels “great joy” that ISIS has been driven out, local Christians feel it's “unclear” who to turn to for safety, Archbishop Yohanna Petros Mochaz told international Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need.  The Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, also known as ISIS or the Islamic State, is an extremist terrorist organization. In the summer of 2014, ISIS made inroads into the Nineveh Plain region of Iraq – a home of Christianity since the 1st Century A.D. – but over the course of 2016, areas in the region have been retaken from the organization's control by cooperation of various local and international actors.In the two years of ISIS control, over 3.3 million Iraqis were in...
