Rassegna Stampa 10 Dicembre 2019 RASSEGNA STAMPA di martedì 10 dicembre 2019 SOMMARIO O Maria Immacolata, ci raduniamo ancora una volta intorno a te. Più andiamo avanti nella vita e più aumenta la nostra gratitudine a Dio per aver dato come madre a noi, che siamo peccatori,Te, che sei l’Immacolata. Tra tutti gli esseri umani, tu sei l’unica preservata dal peccato, in quanto madre di Gesù Agnello di Dio che toglie il peccato del mondo. Ma questo tuo singolare privilegio ti è stato dato per il bene di tutti noi, tuoi figli. Infatti, guardando te, noi vediamo la vittoria di Cristo, la vittoria dell’amore di Dio sul male: dove abbondava il peccato, cioè nel cuore umano, ha sovrabbondato la grazia, per la mite potenza del Sangue di Gesù. Tu, Madre, ci ricordi che, sì, noi siamo peccatori, ma non siamo più schiavi del peccato! Il tuo Figlio, con il suo Sacrificio, ha spezzato il dominio del male, ha vinto il mondo. Questo narra a tutte le generazioni il tuo cuore terso come cielo dove il vento ha dissolto ogni nube. E così tu ci rammenti che non è la stessa cosa essere peccatori ed essere corrotti: è ben diverso. Una cosa è cadere, ma poi, pentiti, rialzarsi con l’aiuto della misericordia di Dio. Altra cosa è la connivenza ipocrita col male, la corruzione del cuore, che fuori si mostra impeccabile, ma dentro è pieno di cattive intenzioni ed egoismi meschini. La tua purezza limpida ci richiama alla sincerità, alla trasparenza, alla semplicità. Quanto bisogno abbiamo di essere liberati dalla corruzione del cuore, che è il pericolo più grave! Questo ci sembra impossibile, tanto siamo assuefatti, e invece è a portata di mano. Basta alzare lo sguardo al tuo sorriso di Madre, alla tua bellezza incontaminata, per sentire nuovamente che non siamo fatti per il male, ma per il bene, per l’amore, per Dio! Per questo, o Vergine Maria, oggi io ti affido tutti coloro che, in questa città e nel mondo intero, sono oppressi dalla sfiducia, dallo scoraggiamento a causa del peccato; quanti pensano che per loro non c’è più speranza, che le loro colpe sono troppe e troppo grandi, e che Dio non ha certo tempo da perdere con loro. Li affido a te, perché tu non solo sei madre e come tale non smetti mai di amare i tuoi figli, ma sei anche l’Immacolata, la piena di grazia, e puoi riflettere fin dentro le tenebre più fitte un raggio della luce di Cristo Risorto. Lui, e Lui solo, spezza le catene del male, libera dalle dipendenze più accanite, scioglie dai legami più criminosi, intenerisce i cuori più induriti. E se questo avviene dentro le persone, come cambia il volto della città! Nei piccoli gesti e nelle grandi scelte, i circoli viziosi si fanno a poco a poco virtuosi, la qualità della vita diventa migliore e il clima sociale più respirabile. Ti ringraziamo, Madre Immacolata, di ricordarci che, per l’amore di Gesù Cristo, noi non siamo più schiavi del peccato, ma liberi, liberi di amare, di volerci bene, di aiutarci come fratelli, pur se diversi tra noi - grazie a Dio diversi tra noi! Grazie perché, col tuo candore, ci incoraggi a non vergognarci del bene, ma del male; ci aiuti a tenere lontano da noi il maligno, che con l’inganno ci attira a sé, dentro spire di morte; ci doni la dolce memoria che siamo figli di Dio, Padre d’immensa bontà, eterna fonte di vita, di bellezza e di amore. Amen.

Lo ha ricordato Papa Francesco alla comunità del Pontificio seminario regionale Flaminio “Benedetto XV” di Bologna, ricevuta in udienza nella mattina di lunedì 9 dicembre, nella Sala Clementina. Cari fratelli nell’episcopato e nel sacerdozio, cari seminaristi! Vi do il benvenuto in occasione nel centenario di fondazione del Pontificio Seminario Regionale Flaminio, voluto da San Pio X. Vi saluto tutti di cuore; ringrazio il Cardinale Matteo Zuppi per le sue parole, e saluto con affetto Mons. Luigi Bettazzi, che è quasi coetaneo del Seminario! Questa importante ricorrenza rappresenta una felice occasione per riflettere sulla bellezza della chiamata al sacerdozio ministeriale, che ci dà il dono e l’impegno di rappresentare il Buon Pastore in mezzo al suo Popolo e vivere come il Buon Pastore in mezzo al suo Popolo. Per prepararsi a questa missione, la madre Chiesa chiede di fare un serio percorso formativo, che l’ambiente del Seminario può offrire nel modo migliore. In tale prospettiva, vorrei indicarvi tre aspetti che identificano questo luogo e soprattutto tempo di formazione e di preparazione al sacerdozio, che è il seminario. Esso è casa di preghiera, casa di studio, casa di comunione. Voi siete chiamati ad essere evangelizzatori nella vostra Regione, segnata anch’essa dalla scristianizzazione. Quanti sono più esposti al vento freddo dell’incertezza o dell’indifferenza religiosa, hanno bisogno di trovare nella persona del sacerdote quella fede robusta che è come una fiaccola nella notte e come una roccia alla quale attaccarsi. Questa fede si coltiva soprattutto nel rapporto personale, cuore a cuore, con la persona di Gesù Cristo. E il Seminario è prima di tutto la casa della preghiera dove il Signore convoca ancora i «suoi» in «un luogo appartato» (cfr. Lc 9, 18), a vivere un’esperienza forte di incontro e di ascolto. Attraverso tale via, Egli vuole prepararli a diventare «educatori del Popolo di Dio nella fede», e abilitarli a «proclamare con autorità la Parola di Dio», a «radunare il Popolo» e a nutrirlo con i Sacramenti per «condurlo sulla via della salvezza» e conservarlo nell’unità (cfr.

  • The Permanent Diaconate in Mumbai, India (Dr. Gilbert De Lima, Director `Commission for the Permanent Diaconate', Mumbai)
    The Permanent Diaconate in Mumbai, India (Dr. Gilbert de Lima, Director `Commission for the Permanent Diaconate’, Mumbai) Ten years ago, on January 22, 2006, Bombay was the first and only diocese in India to introduce the permanent Diaconate when, Cardinal Ivan Dias, the then Archbishop of Bombay ordained two permanent Deacons. With the introduction of the permanent Diaconate in the archdiocese, stated Cardinal Oswald Gracias, the hierarchical structure of the Church in Bombay is indeed, complete! Today we have 14 permanent deacons and 8 student-candidates. We also have one deacon from Mumbai now engaged in his diaconate ministry in Goa and another deacon working in Pune. Despite our efforts to promote the diaconate through diocesan newletters in different dioceses in India, the burgeoning number of vocations to the priesthood, is a deterrent for dioceses to opt for the permanent diaconate. Pope Benedict XVI in his address on “The Importance of the Permanent Diaconate”, in Rome (February 13, 2008) declared, “While the deacons are always in communion with the bishop and the parish, there can be applications and activities of the diaconate that are very different. Various possibilities arise, depending on the needs which manifest themselves in their context, as well as depending on the professional preparation that the deacons have.” In this perspective, the permanent Deacon while assigned to sacramental ministry to a parish, are also involved in a ministry in their respective deanery depending on their charisms. Each of them is also assigned to a similar apostolate at the Archdiocesan level through his appointment in a Commission. Consequently, the different Archdiocesan Commissions they are engaged in are, Youth Ministry, Marriage Enrichment progammes, the Family Apostolate, the Involvement of the Laity through Small Christian Communities, and the Biblical Commission.

While the council’s goal of increasing people’s understanding of the Mass and their participation in it has been achieved, the pope and others said it was time to focus on what is too often missing: silence, reverence and a sense of mystery. “An aspect which must be cultivated with greater commitment in our communi- ties is the experience of silence,” Pope John Paul wrote in a Dec. 4 apostolic let- ter marking the anniversary of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy. When people’s daily lives are frantic and full of noise, “rediscovering the value of silence is vital,” the pope wrote in the document, which was distributed only in Italian. Pope John Paul said the liturgical reform of the Second Vatican Council was one of God’s greatest gifts to the Church in the 20th century. The reform, he said, “demonstrated how it is possible to join norms which St. Christopher parishioners Larry Lynch and Cathie Pfarr of Indianapolis pose for a picture with their new daughter, Marie Olga “Molly” Lynch, on guarantee the identity and decorum of the Oct.

    The Holy See ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI TO THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE MEETING OF THE SUPERIOR COUNCIL OF THE PONTIFICAL MISSION SOCIETIES AND IN THE WORLD CONGRESS OF "FIDEI DONUM" MISSIONARIES Clementine Hall Saturday, 5 May 2007 Your Eminence, Venerable Brothers in the Episcopate and in the Priesthood, Dear Brothers and Sisters, I am particularly pleased to meet you after the solemn Eucharistic Celebration at which Cardinal Ivan Dias, Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, presided. In the first place, I address my cordial thoughts to him and thank him for his words to me on your behalf. I extend my greeting to the Secretary and collaborators of the Missionary Dicastery, to the Prelates and priests present, to the men and women religious and to all who have taken part in the Congress held in the past few days to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Encyclical Letter Fidei Donum of the Servant of God Pope Pius XII. Fifty years have passed since this venerable Predecessor of mine, facing the evolution of the times and looking out onto the scene of history of new peoples and nations, realized with farsighted pastoral wisdom that unheard of and providential horizons and missionary openings for the proclamation of the Gospel in Africa were unfolding. Indeed, Pius XII was looking especially to Africa when, with prophetic intuition, he thought of that new missionary "subject" which takes its name "Fidei donum" from the first words of the Encyclical. He was intending to encourage another type of missionary cooperation - parallel to the traditional 2 forms - among the so-called "ancient" Christian Communities and those born lately or which are coming into being in recently-evangelized territories.

    The Holy See ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI TO A GROUP OF NEWLY ORDAINED BISHOPS TAKING PART IN A TWO-WEEK SEMINAR ORGANIZED BY THE CONGREGATION FOR THE EVANGELIZATION OF PEOPLES Papal Summer Residence - Hall of the Swiss, Castel Gandolfo Saturday, 20 September 2008 Dear Brothers in the Episcopate, I welcome you with joy on the occasion of the Follow-up Seminar organized by the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples. I warmly thank Cardinal Ivan Dias, the Dicastery's Prefect, for his fraternal greeting on behalf of you all. The Seminar in which you are taking part is being held during the Pauline Year which we are celebrating throughout the Church with the intention of deepening knowledge of the missionary spirit and charismatic personality of St Paul, seen by all as the great Apostle to the Gentiles. I am sure that the spirit of this "teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth" (1 Tm 2: 7; cf. 2 Tm 1: 11) has become present in your prayers, in your reflection and in your exchanges, and that it will not fail to illumine and enrich your pastoral and episcopal ministry. In my Homily for the inauguration of the Pauline Year, commenting on the expression "a teacher of the Gentiles" I observed that these words open to the future, projecting the Apostle's spirit to all peoples and all generations. For us, Paul is not merely a figure of the past whom we remember with veneration. He is also our teacher, an apostle and herald of Jesus Christ for us too.

  • MEDIA RELEASE 9 December 2019
    MEDIA RELEASE 9 December 2019 For immediate release Catholic Mission says Cardinal Tagle appointment a “game-changer” Catholic Mission has welcomed the appointment of Cardinal Luis Tagle as head of the Church’s global missionary arm, calling it a ‘game-changer’. Pope Francis made the announcement on Sunday, just weeks after a tour of Thailand and Japan. Cardinal Tagle becomes just the second Asian to be appointed Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, after Indian Cardinal Ivan Dias. The Congregation was established in 1622 to oversee the missionary activity of the global Church and to spread faith throughout the world. It is responsible for dioceses in much of the developing world. Outgoing Prefect Cardinal Fernando Filoni has been appointed the Grand Master of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre. Catholic Mission National Director Father Brian Lucas welcomed the announcement, paying homage to Cardinal Filoni’s contribution during his eight years as Prefect. ‘Cardinal Filoni served with great zeal in a challenging role,’ Fr Lucas said. ‘We welcome this appointment of Cardinal Tagle as Prefect of the Congregation for Evangelization of Peoples, which will bring a different perspective and acknowledges the vibrancy of the church in Asia. Lawrence Gigliotti, Programs Manager at Catholic Mission, said it is a positive step forward for mission in the Church. ‘This is huge news. It gives a new lens to the Congregation,’ says Mr Gigliotti. ‘For us, as part of the Pontifical Mission Societies, Cardinal Tagle brings a unique mission perspective to the role, which helps to inform how we can better serve our brothers and sisters in mission lands.

    The Holy See BENEDICT XVI GENERAL AUDIENCE Paul VI Audience Hall Wednesday, 18 November 2009 The Cathedral from the Romanesque to the Gothic Architecture: The Theological Background Dear Brothers and Sisters, In the Catecheses of the past few weeks I have presented several aspects of medieval theology. The Christian faith, however, deeply rooted in the men and women of those centuries, did not only give rise to masterpieces of theological literature, thought and faith. It also inspired one of the loftiest expressions of universal civilization: the cathedral, the true glory of the Christian Middle Ages. Indeed, for about three centuries, from the beginning of the 11th century Europe experienced extraordinary artistic creativity and fervour. An ancient chronicler described the enthusiasm and the hard-working spirit of those times in these words: "It happens that throughout the world, but especially in Italy and in Gaul, people began rebuilding churches although many had no need of such restoration because they were still in good condition. "It was like a competition between one people and another; one might have believed that the world, shaking off its rags and tatters, wanted to be reclad throughout in the white mantle of new churches. In short, all these cathedral churches, a large number of monastic churches and even village oratories, were restored by the faithful at that time" (Rodolphus Glaber, Historiarum, libri quinque, 3, 4). Various factors contributed to this rebirth of religious architecture. First of all more favourable historical conditions, such as greater political stability, accompanied by a constant increase in the population and the gradual development of the cities, trade and wealth.

  • Alexander Nadson BISHOP CESLAUS SIPOVICH
    Alexander Nadson BISHOP CESLAUS SIPOVICH 1. The First steps Ceslaus Sipovich was born on 8 December 1914 into a farming family at Dziedzinka, a small village in the north-western corner of Belarus which at that time formed part of the Russian Empire. As the result of changes brought about by the First World War and the Russian Revolution, the territory of Belarus was partitioned in March 1921 by the Treaty of Riga between its neighbours. Its western regions came under the Polish rule, and the eastern part became the Belarusian Soviet Republic, a constituent part of the Soviet Union. It was a cynical deal which paid no regard to the interests of Belarusians. The Poles who were in a stronger position than the Soviets, but who had only recently regained their independence, were afraid of having a large ethnic minority within their borders and carved up for themselves only that portion of Belarus which they thought they could easily assimilate. In the words of the Polish politician Stanislaw Grabski, they "cut out the Belarusian abscess". The great majority of Belarusians (over 70 percent) were Orthodox, with a sizable minority (about 25 percent) Roman Catholics, most of whom lived in the western regions which after 1920 came under Polish rule. The Orthodox were mainly descendants of Catholics of Byzantine rite or, as they were known, Greek Catholics or Uniates. In 1839 the Greek Catholic Church in Belarus was suppressed by the Russian authorities and forcibly incorporated into the Russian Orthodox Church. Some of the Greek Catholics, in order to safeguard their faith, secretly managed to change their rite, thus increasing the number of Roman Catholics in Belarus.
