  • Statements on Poverty
    Statements on poverty It is not from your own possessions that you are bestowing alms on the poor, you are but restoring to them what is theirs by right. For what was given to everyone for the use of all, you have taken for your exclusive use. The earth belongs not to the rich, but to everyone. Thus, far from giving lavishly, you are but paying part of your debt. St Ambrose It is not wrong to want to live better; what is wrong is a style of life, which is presumed to be better when it is directed towards 'having' rather than 'being'. Centesimus Annus, # 36 Its [the Church's] desire is that the poor should rise above poverty and wretchedness, and should better their condition in life; and for this it strives. Rerum Novarum, # 23 When there is a question of protecting the rights of individuals, the poor and helpless have a claim to special consideration. The rich population has many ways of protecting themselves, and stands less in need of help. Rerum Novarum # 29 While an immense mass of people still lack the absolute necessities of life, some, even is less advanced countries, live sumptuously or squander wealth. Luxury and misery rub shoulders. While the few more enjoy very great freedom of choice, the many are deprived of almost all possibility of acting on their own initiative and responsibility, and often subsist in living and working conditions unworthy of human beings. Gaudium et Spes # 63 The principle of participation leads us to the conviction that the most appropriate and fundamental solutions to poverty will be those that enable people to take control of their own lives.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See CHRISM MASS HOMILY OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI Saint Peter's Basilica Holy Thursday, 5 April 2012 Photo Gallery (Video) Dear Brothers and Sisters, At this Holy Mass our thoughts go back to that moment when, through prayer and the laying on of hands, the bishop made us sharers in the priesthood of Jesus Christ, so that we might be “consecrated in truth” (Jn 17:19), as Jesus besought the Father for us in his high-priestly prayer. He himself is the truth. He has consecrated us, that is to say, handed us over to God for ever, so that we can offer men and women a service that comes from God and leads to him. But does our consecration extend to the daily reality of our lives – do we operate as men of God in fellowship with Jesus Christ? This question places the Lord before us and us before him. “Are you resolved to be more united with the Lord Jesus and more closely conformed to him, denying yourselves and confirming those promises about sacred duties towards Christ’s Church which, prompted by love of him, you willingly and joyfully pledged on the day of your priestly ordination?” After this homily, I shall be addressing that question to each of you here and to myself as well. Two things, above all, are asked of us: there is a need for an interior bond, a configuration to Christ, and at the same time there has to be a transcending of ourselves, a renunciation of what is simply our own, of the much-vaunted self-fulfilment.

  • Speech of Pope John Paul II- the Church and the Black Community
    Speech of Pope John Paul II- The Church and the Black Community Address given at a meeting with Black Catholic leadership Superdome, New Orleans September 12, 1987 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, 1. “Go into the whole world and proclaim the Good News to all creation”(Mk 16:15). With these words, our Lord Jesus Christ directed the Church to speak his own message of life to the whole human family. The apostles first responded to the Savior’s call and traveled throughout the known world, Sharing with every one who would listen what they had seen and heard (cf. 1 Jn 1:3), speaking about God’s Kingdom and about reconciliation in Christ. Today, almost two thousand years later, the church still seeks to respond generously to Christ’s command. The world we must serve today is much bigger, and the people who long to hear the word of life are numerous indeed. While the words of the Lord remain true, “The harvest is good but laborers are scarce” (Mt 9:37), still we rejoice that the Holy Spirit has enriched the Church with many hands for the harvest. There are worthy laborers in every corner of the earth, people of every culture, who are eager to live the Gospel and to proclaim it by word and example. I am especially happy to meet with you who make up the black Catholic leadership in the United States. Your great concern, both as blacks and as Catholics, is- and must always be- that all your black brothers and sisters throughout America may hear and embrace the saving and uplifting Gospel of Jesus Christ.

    UCLA Electronic Green Journal Title An Environmental Tribute to Karol Wojtyla: Pope John Paul II Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3wx3p77z Journal Electronic Green Journal, 1(21) Author Jankowska, Maria Anna Publication Date 2005 DOI 10.5070/G312110584 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California An Environmental Tribute to Karol Wojtyla: Pope John Paul II Maria Anna Jankowska University of Idaho Library, Idaho, USA ..................................... It was impossible for anyone to be in Poland from April second to April eighth of 2005 and not notice or participate in the unforgettable events commemorating the death of Polish icon – Pope John Paul II. Thanks to the Fulbright Fellowship during the 2004-2005 academic year that had me teaching and consulting at two universities, both in Poznan, Poland, I was able to be a part of these events in April. People all over the world paid their final tributes and participated in the last journey of the Bishop of Rome, their father, friend, teacher, and authority. However, the Polish people were especially devastated to lose their national symbol of truth, love and hope. The Polish nation will always remember the Pope as a persistent fighter against the destruction of human rights, freedom and nature. Poles will for many years have vivid memories of John Paul’s speeches during his pilgrimages to his homeland when he encouraged people to express their support for the Solidarity movement and freedom. Yet I will also remember Pope John Paul II for his love of human dignity, freedom, his devotion to the environment, and deep ecological awareness.

  • Jerome Lejeune a Eulogy John Paul II (Pope)
    The Linacre Quarterly Volume 61 | Number 3 Article 9 August 1994 Jerome Lejeune A Eulogy John Paul II (Pope) Follow this and additional works at: https://epublications.marquette.edu/lnq Recommended Citation John Paul II (Pope) (1994) "Jerome Lejeune A Eulogy," The Linacre Quarterly: Vol. 61 : No. 3 , Article 9. Available at: https://epublications.marquette.edu/lnq/vol61/iss3/9 Jerome Lejeune A Eulogy by His Holiness Pope John Paul II To Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger Archbishop of Paris, France "I am the Resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even ifhe dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die" (In 11 :25). These words of Christ come to mind as we are confronted with the death of Professor Jerome Lejeune. If our Father in heaven called him from this earth on the very day of Christ's Resurrection, it is difficult not to see this coincidence as a sign. Christ's Resurrection is a great witness given to the Life which is stronger than death. Illumined by these words of the Lord, we see every human death as a participation in Christ's death and Resurrection, especially when a death occurs on the same day as the Resurrection. A death of this sort is an even more vivid witness to the Life to which man is ('.~l!ed in Jesus Christ. Throughout his lift: uur brother Jerome was inspired by this call. As a learned biologist he took up the cause of life. In his field he was one of the world's greatest authorities.

  • St. John XXIII Feast: October 11
    St. John XXIII Feast: October 11 Facts Feast Day: October 11 Patron: of Papal delegates, Patriarchy of Venice, Second Vatican Council Birth: 1881 Death: 1963 Beatified: 3 September 2000 by Pope John Paul II Canonized: 27 April 2014 Saint Peter's Square, Vatican City by Pope Francis The man who would be Pope John XXIII was born in the small village of Sotto il Monte in Italy, on November 25, 1881. He was the fourth of fourteen children born to poor parents who made their living by sharecropping. Named Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, the baby would eventually become one of the most influential popes in recent history, changing the Church forever. Roncalli's career within the Church began in 1904 when he graduated from university with a doctorate in theology. He was ordained a priest thereafter and soon met Pope Pius X in Rome. By the following year, 1905, Roncalli was appointed to act as secretary for his bishop, Giacomo Radini-Tedeschi. He continued working as the bishop's secretary until the bishop died in August 1914. The bishop's last words to Roncalli were, "Pray for peace." Such words mattered in August 1914 as the world teetered on the brink of World War I. Italy was eventually drawn into the war and Roncalli was drafted into the Italian Army as a stretcher bearer and chaplain. Roncalli did his duty and was eventually discharged from the army in 1919. Free to serve the Church in new capacities he was appointed to be the Italian president of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, handpicked by Pope Benedict XV.

  • The Ecumenical Legacy of Saint John Paul II: a Providential Vision of Christian Division, a Prophetic Vision of Christian Unity
    The Ecumenical Legacy of Saint John Paul II: A Providential Vision of Christian Division, a Prophetic Vision of Christian Unity Hyacinthe Destivelle, O.P. Talk for the 2020 Father Val Ambrose McInnes Chair ​ Angelicum Donor Homecoming Twenty–five years ago, on 25 May 1995, on the Feast of the Ascension, Saint John Paul II published his milestone encyclical Ut unum sint on the ecumenical commitment. Thirty years ​ ​ after the end of the Second Vatican Council, he reiterated that the Catholic Church is committed “irrevocably” to following the path of the ecumenical venture (UUS 3) and ​ “embraces with hope the commitment to ecumenism as a duty of the Christian conscience enlightened by faith and guided by love” (UUS 8). ​ ​ The jubilee of the encyclical, which coincides with the centenary of the birth of John Paul II, is an opportunity to enquire into the contribution to ecumenism of the first Slavic 1 pope. Readily recalling that he came from a country with a deep ecumenical tradition, John Paul II liked to repeat that the restoration of Christian unity was “one of the first and major 2 tasks of [his] pontificate”. Not only did John Paul II write the first papal encyclical on ecumenism, in which for the first time a pope invited pastors and theologians of the various churches to seek the forms in which his ministry of unity “may accomplish a service of love recognized by all concerned” (UUS 95), but he accomplished many prophetic gestures: for example, he was the first pope to ​ preach at the Lutheran church in Rome (1983) and to visit countries of Orthodox tradition (Romania and Georgia in 1999, Greece and Ukraine in 2001, Bulgaria in 2002).
