Fifteen of the seminarians ordained by Francis are Italian; the others are from Croatia, Peru, Haiti and Japan. The seminarians' ages range from mid-20s to 46. Wearing white robes, the seminarians stood in three rows before the central altar after replying, "Here I am," as their names were called one by one. Francis, reciting a ritual formula, asked if they were worthy to become priests. Later in the ceremony, the seminarians prostrated themselves in a sign of obedience to church authority and to God, on a carpet in front of the altar. During his homily, Francis instructed them to never "tire of being merciful" toward the faithful who confess sins. "Aware of having been chosen among men and appointed in their favor to attend to the things of God, carry out in joy and charity, with sincerity, the priestly work of Christ, solely intent on pleasing God and not yourselves," Francis said. Each seminarian knelt before the pope and held out his ...

Some of the great questions men have always asks are, whatis the Creator like? What shall I do about my sins? How can I overcome temptation? How can I know God? What is the purpose of life? What lies beyond the grave for those who reject Jesus Christ? Is there really a Heaven? All these questions have been fully answered in God's written Word,the Bible and in the person of the lord Jesus Christ, who is the Living word of God. WHAT IS THE CREATOR LIKE? Jesus answered this question. He said, He that hath seen me, hath seen the father; (john 14:9). I and my father are one. (john10:30) when a man looked into the face of Jesus,he could say, I have seen God . Jesus was God appearing in human form. Jesus brought God down to men, and He lifted men up to God. WHAT SHALL I DO ABOUT MY SINS? I Heard a person make this confession on the radio. Many people live under the burden and guilt of sin. Friend, if your heart cries out in words like these, I have good news ...

Tottenham striker Harry Kane said: "It was amazing. It was a disappointing first half and we let them play. I went into the dressing room at half time and we knew it wasn't good enough. We said we had 45 minutes to give everything. When Lucas Moura scored the two you thought we would get another but then Jan Vertonghen hit the crossbar and we thought it might not be our day. "I'm a fan first and foremost and I know how much it means to the club. The lads dug deep and showed passion and that is all you can ask for. We had to wait to get the third in the last minute and we found a way. That is what football is about and we have the final to come."

The Duke of Sussex was present for the birth, which happened at 5.26am on Monday. The child is seventh in line to the throne, and an eighth great-grandchild for the 93-year-old Queen. A beaming Prince Harry said: “It’s been the most amazing experience I could ever have possibly imagined. How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension. But we’re both absolutely thrilled. “We’re both absolutely thrilled and so grateful for all the love and support from everybody out there. It’s been amazing, so we just wanted to share this with everybody.” The baby is a fourth grandchild for the Prince of Wales, and a first for Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, who is at the couple’s new residence, Frogmore Cottage, on the Windsor estate, after flying in from her Los Angeles home recently to support her daughter.
