With joy and continued prayer, we share that Pope Francis has been discharged after 38 days in the hospital and has returned to the Vatican.
As we continue through the season of Lent, we take you with us to experience a centuries old tradition in St. Peter's basilica, the exposition of the relic of the lance of St. Longinus, part of the Roman Station Church pilgrimage.
We also go in-depth to explore the Church's teachings on marriage and family, especially to clarify what is an annulment and to highlight the Pope's prayer intentions for families in crisis.
Cardinal Kurt Koch, prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity, sits down with us to discuss the difficulties of dialogue between the Catholic Church and other ecclesial communities.
We explored the prayer initiative inspired by Pope Francis called 24 Hours for the Lord which emphasizes reconciliation and Eucharistic adoration.
Finally, we keep you updated on the next stage of the Synod on Synodality.
