Pope Francis’ Homily ON THE ANNUNCIATION OF OUR LORD: A CELEBRATION OF THE “YES” OF MARY AND OF JESUS. (NEWS.VA): “Yes”. For a Christian there is no other response to God’s call.

On Monday morning, concelebrating with Francis were priests who, commemorating the 50th anniversary […]

Rome had subjugated a great part of the known world by […]

While I was reading his homily, St. Josemaria’s words regarding the importance […]
