Fr. Massimo Fusarelli: I am making a pilgrimage here to invoke a living faith in Jesus Christ

In this place, for many years now, many people have seen the flame of faith rekindle as they listen to the word of God and celebrate the sacraments, especially those of Reconciliation and the Eucharist. And it is here that freedom opens up to discover the gift of prayer, especially through silence and adoration. And this is why so many have been able to taste the gift of reconciliation and peace in this place.

Christmas message of the Provincial of the Franciscan Province of Herzegovina, Fr. Miljenko Šteko

Today, the atmosphere of Christmas should be given to the new youngest generations.  Make them feel beautiful, to be happy because Christmas is coming.  Let us not allow Christmas darken us, make us tired, insensitive, have no joy in us.  Because, if we will not fight for new generations, when will we?  What do we have left then?
