Los Angeles archbishop: Catholics called to be God’s ‘instruments’ during deadly wildfires

January 11, 2025

CNA/AngelusNews—Relentless, devastating, heart-breaking, horrific fires in suburban Los Angeles continue to burn and lay waste to entire neighborhoods as Los Angeles Archbishop José Gomez on Thursday urged Catholics to remember the preciousness of human life and to make themselves “instruments” of God amid the devastation. The prelate delivered the remarks in a homily at a special Mass celebrated at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in downtown Los Angeles. The cathedral sits a little more than 12 miles from the outer edges of the Eaton Fire, which is burning northeast of the city center. Life is fragile “These are difficult and challenging days for our city and county and our local Church,” the archbishop said. “As we pray, the wildfires keep burning around us and, as we know, the damage continues to be devastating.” “We are reminded today how precious every life is, and how fragile,” he continued. “We are reminded also that we are brothers and sisters, that each of us — we all belong to the family in God.” Raising the question of why God “let[s] evil things happen,” the prelate admitted, “there is no easy answer.” “But that doesn’t mean that there are no answers,” he said, arguing that “love is what is asked of us in this moment.” “In this moment, God is calling each of us to be the instruments through which he shows his love and compassion and care to those who are suffering,” the archbishop said.

Argentine businessman Enrique Shaw moves closer to beatification

January 11, 2025

CNA/ACI Prensa—The cause for canonization of Argentine businessman Enrique Shaw took another step forward this week as the alleged miracle attributed to his intercession passed the medical stage and will now be evaluated by a commission of theologians of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints. The vice postulator of the cause and the military bishop of Argentina, Santiago Olivera, informed the Argentine news agency AICA of the development. The prelate explained from Rome that the miracle “has passed the medical consultation, but we must be very cautious because the process continues with the commission of theologians and then with the bishops and cardinals.” “Once this happens, if everything goes well, Cardinal [Marcello Semeraro, prefect of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints] will present to the Holy Father the permission to announce the decree of his beatification,” Olivera added. Although there are still several steps to take, the vice postulator indicated Thursday that “today was a very important day. It passed the medical phase regarding what was presented about the healing.” “We continue to pray,” he said and encouraged the faithful “to wait and be very respectful of the following stages.” Who is the venerable Servant of God Enrique Shaw? Enrique Shaw Tornquist was a layman, businessman, husband, and father. He was born on Feb. 26, 1921, in Paris. Shortly after, his family moved to Argentina. He belonged to the Naval Military School, where he carried out an apostolate with great dedication. In 1943 he married Cecilia Bunge, with whom he had nine children. In 1945 he asked to be discharged from the Argentine Navy...

Pope Francis welcomes jubilee pilgrims: ‘Begin again with hope’

January 11, 2025

VM/CNA—Pope Francis kicked off the first Saturday jubilee audience of 2025 by urging pilgrims to embrace hope as a divine strength that enables new beginnings, drawing inspiration from St. John the Baptist. Speaking to pilgrims gathered in the Vatican’s audience hall on Jan. 11, the pontiff emphasized that hope is not merely a character trait but rather a theological virtue that represents “strength to be asked for” from God. “Many of you are here in Rome as ‘pilgrims of hope,’” Pope Francis said.

Hope is a Gift from God... The pope highlighted how the Latin word “virtus” means strength, explaining that hope, therefore, comes as a gift from God rather than existing as a mere habit or personality characteristic. The Catholic Church teaches that hope is one of the three theological virtues — along with faith and charity — which God pours into the hearts of the faithful. Drawing connections to the feast of the Baptism of the Lord on Sunday, Francis reflected on John the Baptist as a “great prophet of hope,” noting how people flocked to him “longing for a...
