Statement from Bishop Hying on the death of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI
I join my prayers to those of millions around the world, as we mourn the passing of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. We are all grateful for his generous service to the Church, as a priest, theologian, professor, bishop, cardinal, and for his leadership of the Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith during the pontificate of Pope Saint John Paul II, and his fruitful years as our Holy Father, the pope. His leadership of the Church at the time of Pope Saint John Paul II’s death, the funeral, and the days leading up to the papal conclave particularly stands out.

La esperanza de la Navidad
Mientras nos preparamos para celebrar la maravilla de la Navidad una vez más, a menudo nos inundan recuerdos deslumbrantes de Navidades pasadas. Esperando impacientemente como un niño a que Papá Noel nos traiga juguetes. Sentarse con familiares y amigos para una comida alegre. Ir a la Misa de medianoche, oler el incienso y escuchar las campanas. Decorar la casa y colgar luces exteriores. Sintiendo la alegría y la belleza de la estación. ¡Darse cuenta de la cercanía de Dios!
