Holy Mass with Archbishop Dr. Georg Gänswein

Holy Mass is a ritual that plays an important role for many families every Sunday and on public holidays. It is an opportunity to take a break from the working week and experience God’s love anew.

This YouTube video shows a recording of the Holy Mass celebrated in memory of the living and deceased benefactors and friends of Priesterausbildungshilfe e. V. on 25 November 2023 in the church of St. Pantaleon in Cologne. The celebrant was Archbishop Georg Gänswein, the patron of Priesterausbildungshilfe e. V. This opportunity was used as a basis to say thank you to the benefactors of the association and to remember them in a very beneficial way.

Moving moments, Papst Benedikt XVI.

In this ceremony, Archbishop Gänswein refers to various situations that have a moving significance for him. Among other things, the thoughts and words refer to the former Pope Benedict XVI, who was a guest at the World Youth Day in Cologne in 2005. This encounter was unique and for the many young people an experience that will remain in their memories forever.

Pope Benedict knelt down and expressed his faith, his relationship and his reverence for God at that moment. Despite the fact that this was only a description, which is reproduced in this service, the imagination and curiosity for more is already stimulated in the first few minutes.

Holy celebration

The broadcasting of Holy Mass or other religious services on television offers the opportunity to live and experience faith within your own four walls. This can be an alternative for older people, people with disabilities and physical limitations, but can also be an alternative to going to church depending on work and working hours. By broadcasting on the Internet, even such a special Holy Mass can be celebrated with Archbishop Georg Gänswein.

The Archbishop’s sermon refers to the history of Israel. It is about trust, but also about the hardship of this time, about wars and God.
