BENEDICT XVI ATTENDS FIRST SERMON OF ADVENT

VATICAN CITY, DEC 7, 2007 (VIS) - This morning, in the Vatican's "Redemptoris Mater" chapel, the Pope attended the first sermon of Advent, delivered, in keeping with tradition, by Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa O.F.M. Cap., preacher of the Pontifical Household. The theme of this year's meditations is taken from the Letter to the Hebrews (1, 2): "He has spoken to us by a Son."

  The meditations will be attended by cardinals, archbishops, bishops, prelates of the Roman Curia and the Vicariate of Rome, and by the superiors general of the religious orders that form part of the "Cappella Pontificia."

  The remaining Advent sermons will be given on December 14 and 21.
