BENEDICT XVI ATTENDS FIRST SERMON OF ADVENT

VATICAN CITY, 3 DEC 2010 (VIS) - At 9 a.m. today in the "Redemptoris Mater" chapel of the Vatican Apostolic Palace, the Pope and the pontifical family attended the first sermon of Advent.

  The theme of this year's meditations which were delivered, in keeping with tradition, by Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa O.F.M. Cap., preacher of the Pontifical Household, is taken from the Gospel of St. John (16, 33): "'Take courage; I have conquered the world!'. Towards a re-evangelisation of the secularised world".

  The remaining Advent sermons will be given on 10 and 17 December.
