This week in the Vatican, relations with the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) took a serious turn, while we also received the joyful news of Saint John Henry Newman’s entry into the General Roman Calendar.
On its anniversary, discover how the 1929 Lateran Treaty established Vatican City State, restoring the Pope’s temporal sovereignty and safeguarding his independence within a unique sovereign territory.
As the Winter Olympic Games continue, the Vatican’s Cross stands at the heart of Milan, inviting athletes and visitors to reflect on sport as a sign of unity, faith, and peace.
And a look back to the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord—Candlemas—highlights its rich symbolism, its connection to religious life, and its celebration in Rome and beyond.
We wish you a happy coming Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, which commemorates the World Day of the Sick. One family’s powerful witness shows how faith, prayer, and offering suffering in union with Christ bring hope amid long-term illness.
Thank you for your continued support, and always remember: God has a plan for each of us, and He makes no mistakes.
