What are the spiritual benefits of lighting a candle in prayer?

A symbolic gesture charged with meaningLighting a candle when we pray is a simple but deeply symbolic gesture. Present in many Christian traditions, the candle is a visible sign of God's invisible presence. Its flame represents the light of Christ, illuminating our darkness, warming our hearts and guiding our steps. It is also an act of faith: even when everything seems dark, we choose to believe in the light. Read more...

Why do Christians light candles?

A light in the night of humanityLighting a candle may seem trivial. A small fire in the silence of a church, a trembling flame in the half-light of an oratory, a night-light in front of a statue of Mary or Jesus. And yet this gesture carries immense spiritual weight. It is one of the most universal and timeless gestures of the Christian faith.From the earliest centuries, Christians have used light to signify God's presence. The candle, humble and fragile, has become the discreet symbol of a faith that watches, prays and hopes. Read more...

What does Pope Leo XIV's motto "In Illo Uno Unum" mean?

A Latin motto at the heart of the pontificateAs soon as his election was announced, Pope Leo XIV unveiled a brief but profound motto: In Illo Uno Unum, which in Latin means "One in Him who is One". Just three words, but of immense theological and spiritual density. The phrase is directly inspired by Christ's prayer in the Gospel according to Saint John (17:21): "That they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, that they may all be one in us."In choosing this motto, Leo XIV was not proposing a political slogan or a simplified message, but an invitation to unity rooted in God, a unity that comes not from human efforts or a fragile consensus, but from a deep spiritual communion with Christ.

Leo XIV in the footsteps of Pope Francis

A spiritual and pastoral filiationIn his first speeches, Leo XIV never ceased to pay tribute to his predecessor, Pope Francis, whom he called "a father in the faith" and "a model of a universal pastor". Their relationship is not merely ceremonial: it reveals a genuine spiritual continuity, rooted in the same vision of the Church, turned towards the peripheries, mercy, simplicity of life and listening to the Spirit.Pope Francis has marked the contemporary history of the Church by his desire to desacralise the pontifical office, to open the Church to those wounded by life, and to place the poor back at the centre of the Gospel message. Leo XIV, while having his own style, takes up this breath: he does not seek to break with the past, but to deepen it, to extend it, to make it bear fruit. Read more...
