  • “You Will Receive Power When the Holy Spirit Has Come Upon You; and You Will Be My Witnesses ” (Acts 1:8)
    XXIII WORLD YOUTH DAY MESSAGE OF THE HOLY FATHER BENEDICT XVI TO THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF THE WORLD ON THE OCCASION OF THE XXIII WORLD YOUTH DAY, 2008 “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses ” (Acts 1:8) My dear young friends! 1. The XXIII World Youth Day I always remember with great joy the various occasions we spent together in Cologne in August 2005. At the end of that unforgettable manifestation of faith and enthusiasm that remains engraved on my spirit and on my heart, I made an appointment with you for the next gathering that will be held in Sydney in 2008. This will be the XXIII World Youth Day and the theme will be: “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses” (Acts 1:8). The underlying theme of the spiritual preparation for our meeting in Sydney is the Holy Spirit and mission. In 2006 we focussed our attention on the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of Truth. Now in 2007 we are seeking a deeper understanding of the Spirit of Love. We will continue our journey towards World Youth Day 2008 by reflecting on the Spirit of Fortitude and Witness that gives us the courage to live according to the Gospel and to proclaim it boldly. Therefore it is very important that each one of you young people - in your communities, and together with those responsible for your education - should be able to reflect on this Principal Agent of salvation history, namely the Holy Spirit or the Spirit of Jesus.

FINN Health care reform joint pastoral statement: summary points Health care reform is needed and President Obama is to be applauded for making this a major priority for the nation. Despite the many flaws with the status quo, change itself does not guarantee improve- ment. The state of health care in our nation could worsen if we diminish the current protec- tions for the sanctity of human life; coerce Americans to fund abortion; negate or weaken protection of conscience rights for doctors, nurses, hospitals and health care systems; create a scenario where health care will be rationed based on some arbitrary assessment of the quality of life. Catholics, in evaluating vari- ous health care reform propos- als, should apply four principles of the Catholic social teaching: 1) Subsidiarity: respect for the inherent dignity and freedom of the individual by never doing for others what they can do for themselves, and thus enabling ear Faithful of the to hire part-time rather than full- individuals to have the most pos- Archdiocese of Kansas time employees. sible discretion in the affairs of City in Kansas and of the • Similarly, the much higher their lives.

  • Pope Says He Plans to Attend World Youth Day 2008 in Australia,NBC's
    Rome inundated with requests for prayer cards, relics UPDATED ROME – The Rome diocesan office charged with promoting the sainthood cause of Pope John Paul II has exceeded its postage budget because of increased requests for prayer cards and relics of the late pope. “We were getting about 50 requests a day, but overnight it grew to between 500 and 1,000 requests,” a spokeswoman for the office said March 2. “We could not have foreseen this demand,” she said. “It’s an avalanche.” Franciscan Brother Chris Gaffrey, who assists the office with English translations, told Catholic News Service that the vast majority of requests in late February and early March were coming via e-mail from the United States. CNS had published a story about the cards and relics Feb. 26 and dozens of Web sites and blogs, or Web logs, ran links to the story. The prayer cards and relics, a small piece of one of the white cassocks worn by Pope John Paul, always will be distributed free of charge, but without an increase in donations the office cannot afford to mail them, Brother Gaffrey said. While one writer kindly sent the office his express mail account number, others wrote requesting cards for their entire parish without even thinking of what it would cost to ship them from Italy, he said. An individual prayer card, relic and copy of the cause’s magazine, Totus Tuus, could be mailed to the United States for about $5, Brother Gaffrey said. Several options for sending donations can be found on the official Web site of Pope John Paul’s sainthood cause – www.JohnPaulIIBeatification.org – which was experiencing interruptions in service because of the increased traffic in early March.

This is also the place to offer any suggestions you would like to make on these topics for WYD in Madrid in 2011.” 2) “If there was something else that significantly spoiled the experience for you, write it here.” (The responses to this question begin on p. 154 , preceded by a copy of the table recording responses to the ‘fixed-choice’ part of the question.) Because of their value to organisers, these written comments are reproduced here in their entirety.
