POPE LEO’S PRAYER TO ST. FRANCIS
A TIMELESS INTERCESSOR FOR PEACE:
During this Jubilee Year of St Francis of Assisi, Pope Leo asks us to pray to St Francis using the following prayer:
‘St Francis, our brother, you who eight hundred years ago went to meet Sister Death as a man at peace, intercede for us before the Lord. You recognised true peace in the Crucifix of San Damiano, teach us to seek in Hm the source of all reconciliation that breaks down every wall. You who, unarmed, crossed the lines of war and misunderstanding, give us the courage to build bridges where the world raises boundaries. In this time afflicted by conflict and division, intercede for us so that we may become peacemakers: unarmed and disarming witnesses of the peace that comes from Christ.’ Amen

FEAST OF ST JOHN NEUMANN
The 5th January is the Feast of the Redemptorist Saint St John Neumann who was born in Prachatitz in Bohemia before emigrating to the US where he dedicated himself to the European immigrants who were deprived of spiritual support.
In the homily on the occasion of Neumann's canonization, Pope Paul VI summarized the activity of the new saint: "He was close to the sick, he loved to be with the poor, he was a friend of sinners, and now he is the glory of all emigrants."

SUNDAY OF THE WORD OF GOD
The Third Sunday of Ordinary Time is the 'Sunday of the Word of God' - a day, instituted by Pope Francis on the Feast of Saint Jerome in 2019, devoted to the celebration and study of Sacred Scripture.
“Devoting a specific Sunday of the liturgical year to the word of God can enable the Church to experience anew how the risen Lord opens up for us the treasury of his word and enables us to proclaim its unfathomable riches before the world.” Pope Francis, Aperuit illis
