His Holiness Pope Patricus I to Visit Moscow Ahead of Christmas

Vatican City, December 1, 2046 – The Holy See is pleased to announce that His Holiness Pope Patricus I will embark on a brief apostolic journey to Moscow from December 17 to December 19, 2046. This historic visit underscores the Vatican’s commitment to fostering dialogue, promoting peace, and nurturing relationships with religious leaders worldwide. 

While in Moscow, the Holy Father will meet with prominent religious officials, including members of the Russian Orthodox Church, to continue building bridges of mutual understanding and spiritual solidarity between the Catholic and Orthodox traditions.

In addition, Pope Patricus I will meet with the Luminar of the Brotherhood of Ascension, a recently established religious movement that has rapidly gained influence on the global stage. The Brotherhood of Ascension advocates for spiritual unity and the moral elevation of humanity, and His Holiness hopes to engage in a meaningful dialogue about shared values and the responsibilities of religious communities in an era of unprecedented change. 

His Holiness will also hold a landmark meeting with the Ascendancy, an interfaith council of global influence dedicated to addressing moral and ethical challenges in a rapidly changing world. 

This journey reflects Pope Patricus I's dedication to ecumenical outreach and the deepening of interfaith cooperation during the holy Advent season. His Holiness believes that such dialogue is critical in reaffirming the shared values of peace, reconciliation, and the dignity of the human person. 

The Pope’s itinerary in Moscow will include: 
  • A private meeting with Patriarch Kirill and other senior clergy of the Russian Orthodox Church. 
  • An address to the Ascendancy, focusing on the themes of peace and spiritual unity. 
  • A meeting with the Luminar of the Brotherhood of Ascension to explore pathways of shared understanding. 
  • An ecumenical prayer service at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. 
 

Following his time in Moscow, Pope Patricus I will return to the Vatican on December 19 to preside over the solemn liturgical celebrations of the Christmas season. These include: 
  • The Midnight Mass of the Nativity of the Lord in St. Peter’s Basilica on December 24. 
  • The Urbi et Orbi blessing and message on Christmas Day from the central loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica. 
  • The Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph on December 29. 
 

His Holiness invites all faithful to join in prayer during this time of spiritual significance, asking for the Lord’s blessings upon this journey and the continued pursuit of harmony among all peoples.

It’s encouraging to see the Pope not only visit, but to seek out peace between other faiths. I pray that that God and all the Saints will guide our Holy Father in his work to bring peace during uncertain times.

In the Name of the Father, and of the the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
