“Nuestros corazones están en Belén”: el papa Francisco en la misa de Nochebuena

EL VATICANO – Al recordar el nacimiento de Jesús en un pesebre de Belén, el papa Francisco dijo este domingo en una homilía de Nochebuena que “el choque de armas, incluso hoy” impide que Jesús “encuentre lugar en el mundo”.El pontífice presidió el domingo la misa vespertina ante unos 6,500 fieles reunidos bajo el esplendor de la Basílica de San Pedro, detrás de filas de prelados vestidos de blanco.“Nuestros corazones están en Belén, donde el Príncipe de la Paz es rechazado una vez más por la inútil lógica de la guerra”, dijo el papa, refiriéndose a la guerra desatada por el ataque mortal de Hamas el 7 de octubre y la toma de rehenes en Israel.Al comenzar la misa, se descubrió una estatuilla del Niño Jesús ante el altar adornado con vegetación y flores blancas, y niños que representaban a todos los rincones del mundo que colocaron flores alrededor de un trono dorado.Francisco, vestido con una túnica blanca, dirigió la misa al pie de una de las grandes columnas de San Pedro.Al r...

Broncos decline to activate Kareem Jackson after his latest suspension, meaning he could be cut

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:42:10 GMT

DENVER (AP) — There’s a good possibility 14th-year safety Kareem Jackson will get cut on Christmas Day after the Denver Broncos chose not to activate him for their game against New England on Sunday night following his return from his second suspension.The Broncos’ roster exemption on Jackson expires Monday, so they’ll either have to make room for him by bidding farewell to another player or release the 14-year veteran. If that happens, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the end of the road for Jackson in Denver. The Broncos could try to re-sign him to their practice squad and then elevate him for their final two games and any playoff games if they qualify.But a release would certainly open the possibility Denver’s defensive tone-setter has played his last game in navy and orange, if not in the NFL altogether.PJ Locke has played exceptionally well in Jackson’s absence and he became the first safety in franchise history to sack the quarterback in t...

The city of Frederick, Maryland, is banning businesses from giving out plastic bags starting in the new year.Customers will have to bring their own bags to stores to shop for items like food, clothes and hardware starting Jan. 1, 2024. Businesses can offer paper bags as an alternative.The city said that the goal of the plastic bag ban is to improve the environment of Frederick and safeguard the health of residents “by reducing the number of single use plastic bags in the stream of commerce, litter, pollution, waste and to encourage the use of reusable bags.”Frederick’s decision is in alignment with a statewide effort to ban plastic bags.In June, lawmakers in Anne Arundel County ordered a similar ban on plastic bags at grocery stores. That law will go into effect in January as well.Prince George’s County Council also passed a bill in May that would ban plastic bags and add a 10-cent fee for each paper bag used at retail stores across the county.Source
