By Edward Pentin, EWTN News - For the second year running, restrictions have been placed on the Vatican’s Christmas liturgical celebrations due to continued concerns at the Vatican over COVID-19... while the Vatican has maintained a Green Pass policy — which requires proof of vaccination, recent recovery from COVID-19 or a negative test for visitors and employees — the requirement is expected to be waived for liturgies and the Pope’s general audiences.

By  Carlo Maria Viganò, The Remnant - On this blessed day, let us remember the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, preserved from every stain of original sin to be the living and uncontaminated tabernacle of the Most High.

By Kennedy Hall, OnePeterFive - Continuing in our theme of the traditional mediation of the Four Last Things, this week we will consider the reality of Judgement. To begin, we must distinguish between the two forms of judgement that pertain to our eternal life... First, we will each experience our own Particular Judgement. This means that we will stand before Our Lord and give an account of our lives immediately following our death. God willing, we will die in a State of Grace, and although our particular judgement might be humiliating, we will have the assurance of salvation through a holy death.
