Catholic Digital Missionaries and Influencers share hope at Jubilee event

Part of the Jubilee of Youth and held on Jul 28–29, the Jubilee for Digital Missionaries and Influencers, promoted by the Dicastery for Evangelization in collaboration with the Dicastery for Communication, brings together those who evangelize online to reflect, pray, and celebrate together as one Church without borders.

“A network of people, not of algorithms”
In his opening remarks of the event held at Rome’s Auditorium Conciliazione, Paolo Ruffini, Prefect of the Dicastery for Communication, welcomed participants inviting them into a sacred space of listening and encounter.

“It is beautiful to be together in person,” he said, noting that while digital platforms unite us, “what truly binds us is not the web, but something that transcends us: God Himself.”

Lector: A vital but denied ministry

Serving the Church to move forward means clarifying how we distribute roles and responsibilities within our ecclesial communities. To continue my reflection on ministries in the Church in Asia, I would like to focus on another instituted ministry that is often neglected: that of the lector.

This is a ministry deeply connected with teaching, one of the three core functions of the Church.

I received this ministry from the hands of a bishop, kneeling, during a quite formal Mass in Paris in May 2008. Yet, since that date, I have never encountered a Catholic community interested in it or even aware of what it might bring to the Church.

Saints Martha, Mary and Lazarus, Tuesday of week 17 in Ordinary Time

Lord, I do believe!

In the Gospel passage, Martha and Mary were both grieving for the death of their brother, Lazarus. When they heard that Jesus was coming, Martha went out to meet Him, while Mary remained at home. When Martha saw Jesus, she said, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died, but even now I know that God will grant whatever you ask of him”, expressing her deep faith in Jesus. Jesus then asked her if she believed in Him. She immediately answered, “Yes, Lord. I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, the one who was to come into this world”. This exchange between Martha and Jesus revealed her strong faith in and trust in Jesus.

Pope greets Vatican Radio journalists as they go live from St Peter’s Square

As journalists from Vatican Radio broadcast live from their recently inaugurated studio in St Peter’s Square, Pope Leo turned to greet them and thank them for their work.

As he addressed the faithful gathered in St Peter’s Square following the recitaion of the Angelus prayer, he greeted members of the Vatican’s media, which, “in order to be closer to the faithful and pilgrims during the Jubilee, has inaugurated a small station under Bernini’s colonnade together with L’Osservatore Romano” – the Vatican’s daily newspaper – and Vatican News.

Pope Leo: ‘Grandparents and elderly are witnesses of hope’

Speaking after the Sunday Angelus in St Peter’s Square, Pope Leo XIV reminded those listening that today we celebrate the Fifth World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly, the theme of which is: “Blessed is the one who does not lose hope.”

He released his Message for the occasion on Jul 10 2025.

“Let us look to grandparents and the elderly as witnesses of hope, capable of lighting the path for new generations. Let us not leave them alone, but join them in a covenant of love and prayer,” he said.

Acolyte: An essential but forgotten ministry

While the Church is never more united, holy, catholic, and apostolic than when it embraces what God offers her, there are both individual and collective efforts, spiritual and structural available to help us respond more effectively to our vocation.

Before we delve deeper into prayer in an upcoming mini-series, we must first explore a mini-series on structural and communal responses: the distribution of tasks and responsibilities within the Church.

In the Catholic world, this organized and lasting distribution of roles is known as ministries. Ministries are essential and legitimized services, conferred for life to individuals who have been carefully trained and selected. These ministries are considered fundamental to the proper functioning of the Church, they cover her three core functions: sanctifying, teaching, and leading. Yet in practice, they are often dangerously neglected.

Pope Leo XIV: Friendship with Christ is the key to Christian happiness

It is so important to cultivate friendship with Jesus…

Pope Leo XIV gave this important reminder on Friday in the Vatican to participants in the Course for Seminary Formators held at Rome’s Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum University, and to Xaverian Missionaries at the conclusion of their General Chapter.

To those who just concluded the course or their General Chapter, Pope Leo admitted, “These are certainly two different events, yet we can see a common thread that unites them because, in different ways, we are called to enter into the dynamism of mission and to face the challenges of evangelization.”

The parables of the mustard and yeast

“The kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the biggest of shrubs and becomes a tree…” (The Gospel). Jesus could have referred to grand and impressive trees, but He chose to use a humble and seemingly insignificant mustard seed, the smallest of all seeds, to teach the people about the Kingdom of God. He also spoke of a small amount of yeast that has a big impact on a large amount of flour. Why is this? For Jesus, God’s reign - His presence and transformative power- does not manifest in grand and powerful events. Instead, the Kingdom of God can be seen in seemingly small and insignificant ways, just like...

17th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Our Father

In today’s Gospel passage, Jesus’ disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray. He responded by teaching them the Lord’s Prayer. Jesus began the prayer by addressing God as “Father,” inviting His disciples into a personal and intimate relationship with Him. Today, Jesus continues to invite us to recognise God as our loving parent, someone we can fully trust and rely on for everything we need, including daily nourishment, forgiveness, and help during temptation.

Saint Joachim and Saint Anne, parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saturday of week 16 in Ordinary Time

Darnel and wheat

In today’s Gospel, Jesus speaks about darnel and wheat. Darnel is a toxic w**d that closely resembles wheat in the early stages of growth. Although the darnel might appear harmless, it can actually harm the good wheat by stealing essential nutrients from it. In the passage, the owner instructs his servants not to pull the darnel but to let both grow together. What is the message in this Gospel passage for us?

St Thomas More Parish Day

This year, Jul 6, the Parish Day of St Thomas More, Kepayan, was marked with a significant additional figure. Two statues, St Thomas More and St Joseph, were placed in front of the church building.

The blessing of the statues was officiated by Archbishop John Wong during his pastoral visit, the first activity on the list of the items scheduled for the day. He was assisted by Fr Rhobby, Fr Peter Chung, Fr Primus Jouil, and Fr Albet.

Eucharistic celebration was then followed thereafter. During the Mass, 81 candidates received the Sacrament of Confirmation, a memorable and sacred moment for the candidates and their families.
