He thanked them “for this sign of goodwill aimed at bringing much-desired peace” and hoped it would “be put into practice, also through effective processes of dis- armament and mine clearance.

Earlier, Pope Francis had focused on the parables of the hidden trea- sure and the pearl of great value, explaining that those treasured items represent Jesus himself. Before concluding, Francis prayed to the Blessed Virgin Mary to “help us to search every day for the treas- ure of the Kingdom of Heaven, so that the love God has given us through Jesus may be manifested in our words and gestures”.

  • Le Devenir De L'art D'église
    RICHARD GAUTHIER LE DEVENIR DE L’ART D’ÉGLISE DES PAROISSES CATHOLIQUES DU QUÉBEC ARCHITECTURE, ARTS, PRATIQUES, PATRIMOINE (1965-2002) Thèse présentée à la Faculté des études supérieures de l'Université Laval dans le cadre du programme de doctorat interuniversitaire en histoire de l’art pour l’obtention du grade de Philosophiæ Doctor (Ph. D.) FACULTÉ DES LETTRES UNIVERSITÉ LAVAL QUÉBEC SEPTEMBRE 2004 © Richard Gauthier, 2004 Résumé La présente thèse doctorale fait état du problème que soulèvent l’art d’église et ses mutations actuelles dans les paroisses catholiques du Québec. Ayant connu ses heures de gloire, cette tradition artistique mute et il est maintenant difficile d’en cerner la dynamique. Une approche méthodique s’avère donc pertinente pour situer le problème dans une juste perspective, en apprécier la nature et la pérennité et suggérer des balises aptes à en guider la solution. Tout d’abord, par l’histoire des comités d’art sacré des diocèses catholiques de Québec et de Montréal, qui sont les témoins privilégiés de l’évolution des conceptions de l’art d’église de leurs paroisses depuis le concile Vatican II, par la recension de pratiques nouvelles dans quelques-unes de ces églises et par un inventaire des constructions et des réaménagements partiels d’églises paroissiales dans les trois diocèses les plus populeux, l’on se fait une idée assez juste de la situation actuelle de l’art d’église des paroisses catholiques du Québec. Par la suite, en évaluant les chances de son acculturation, selon un outillage théorique approprié, et en retenant des leçons de l’histoire presque bimillénaire de l’art d’église, le rapport entre cette tradition artistique et ses mutations actuelles au Québec apparaît moins problématique.

  • From a Bishop's Journal (769) “With the Gospel of Christ”
    From A Bishop’s Journal (769) “With the Gospel of Christ” hese words of Saint Paul to the Corinthians could very well “summarize” the Plenary Session of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, that took place September 22 to 26, in TCornwall, Ontario. I use the word “summarize” because of the more than thirty items that were on the agenda: here I shall mention only six. These words of Saint Paul are also the episcopal motto of Bishop Pierre Morissette, newly installed (September 21, 2008) as Bishop of Saint-Jérôme, Québec. As of December, 2007, there were 12,986,805 Catholics in Canada, in 72 dioceses (8 of them belonging to the Eastern Rite); there were 137 bishops including 19 auxiliary bishops and 51 retired bishops. All week long we were over 80 bishops attending the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB). The Word of God For the fifteenth consecutive year I have been attending these days of fellowship, prayer, reflection, and solidarity. A full agenda – broken up by periods of celebration and sharing – allowed us to study together the episcopal ministry in Canada. The Word of God was ever present at our deliberations. Everyone of these sessions began with a liturgy of the Word, a reminder that, this year, the World Synod of Bishops (October 5-26) has “The Word of God in the Life and Mission of the Church,” as its theme. Our bishops-delegate to the Synod are Luc Bouchard of St. Paul (Alberta), Ronald Fabbro of London (Ontario), Raymond St-Gelais of Nicolet (Québec), and Terrence Prendergast of Ottawa.
