Pope Francis•Vocations

Pope Francis asks all Catholics to pray for vocations: here is the video

The Pope invites us to pray during February “that the ecclesial community might welcome the desires and doubts of those young people who feel a call to serve Christ’s mission in the priesthood and religious life.”In the video illustrating his prayer intention, Pope Francis recalls his own vocation, as a youth. He affirms that by listening to young people, they might welcome God’s call “in ways that better serve the Church and the world today.” The Pope invites us to believe in young people, and above all, to trust in God who is the one who “calls everyone.”

Vatican pronounces on the transfer of days of obligation for Mass in the liturgical calendar

This clarification addresses a recurring issue in the liturgical calendar known as «occurrentia festorum», which arises when two feast days fall on the same date. In such cases, the liturgical norms dictate that the celebration of higher precedence, according to the «Table of Liturgical Days», takes priority, while the other feast may be moved to a later date.
