At 9.00 this morning, in the Paul VI Hall, the Preacher of the Papal Household, His Eminence Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa, O.F.M. Cap., held the first Sermon of Advent on the theme: “Lift up your heads, O gates; be lifted up, you ancient portals” (Ps 24:7-8). Faith, Hope and Charity: the three doors to open to Christ who is coming.

The next Advent Sermons will take place on Friday 9 and Friday 16 December.
