Relazione Del Superiore Generale Al XIV Sinodo REPORT OF THE SUPERIOR GENERAL TO THE XIV GENERAL SYNOD Retreat of Sts. John and Paul, Rome, 22-31 October 2010 GREETINGS AND INTRODUCTORY REFLECTIONS 1. Dear brothers in Christ Crucified and Risen, Fraternal greetings and best wishes to all of you here and, in particular, to each of you who, with various titles and responsibilities, are participating in this Synod. I especially wish to greet and welcome those of you who have recently been elected as Major Superiors and who are at a Synod assembly for the first time. You will enrich us with your creativity and enthusiasm. I also greet all of you in the name of the General Council and the community of Sts. John and Paul that offers us hospitality for the celebration of the XIV Synod of the Congregation. I welcome you and through you, with heart and mind, I see and remember all the religious of our communities and the laity of the Passionist Family who, as laborers called to the vineyard of the Lord, live and work in sixty countries. I especially wish to remember the sick and those who suffer in spirit: may the Lord bless them and may our spiritual and human concern comfort them. I ask the men and women religious and laity to accompany us with their prayer so that the Synod may be a grace-filled event that enlightens our mind, so that we may discern the ways of the Lord for the Congregation today. May it open our hearts to charity and to generosity, and strengthen our will so that we may act courageously and definitively on what He asks of us. 2. The theme of the Synod, “Solidarity for a new life and mission” , is intended to unite us ideologically and substantially with the last Synod of 2008 that was celebrated in Cuernavaca, Mexico. It was an event that continues to offer us wonderful memories and encouragement about what has been accomplished along the journey of the Congregation. We also recall the warm welcome that we received from the religious of the Province of Christ the King, and the women religious and the laity that share our spirituality. Again, thank you: May our Lady of Guadalupe also guide and protect us during this Synod. 3. The graphic design of the Logo of this Synod consists of a Passionist Sign surrounding the world, lands and seas, along with the inscription: “Solidarity for a new life and mission”. The words follow the path of the curve of the continents between South America and Australia, encircling lower Africa. It is meant to signify our unity as an integrated family immersed in the charism. The Passionist Sign which envelopes it is meant to enhance solidarity, enlivening our community life and mission. In addition to being an ideal and a hope, as is symbolized by the color green of the contents of the Logo, solidarity is a goal to which we aspire and is indicated by the red-colored fire that forms the background of the Sign, which is immersed in the light of the resurrection and a new dawn. 4. This is the objective that we hope to achieve during these days of the Synod. We are not alone as we look for answers; we are aware of the presence of the Lord in our midst. It is He who has convoked us with the voice of the Church and He is with us in the boat of this synod hall. And even if his place here seems to be vacant, we need to have faith: He is with us and we should not fear the headwinds of the difficult moments that we may encounter during the Synod, or the rough seas of doubt and fear. We must trust that we will arrive at the other shore because He is awake: He calms the winds and the waves become navigable once again. 5. Yes! We must be convinced that He will not leave us alone, as He did not leave the apostles alone after his Ascension into heaven when a cloud took him from their sight. Jesus promised the disciples a Consoler. He assured them that He would not leave them orphans and the Acts of the Apostles recount for us what occurred on the day of Pentecost when they were like we are today and as we will be during these upcoming days – together in one place: “When the time for Superior General – Part I Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind… And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2: 2-4) 6. My brothers, let us invoke the same Holy Spirit who appeared like tongues of fire over the heads of the disciples. He was alive yesterday and He is alive today: “Come, Holy Spirit/ And send out from heaven Your radiant light/Come, father of the poor/ Come, giver of gifts/ Come, light of our hearts.” (Sequence of the liturgy of Pentecost) He will open our minds and our hearts and we will be surprised at what will happen, as the crowd in Jerusalem was surprised : “They were astounded, and in amazement they asked, "Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans? Then how does each of us hear them in his own native language? We are Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya near Cyrene, as well as travelers from Rome, both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs, yet we hear them speaking in our own tongues of the mighty acts of God." (Acts 2:7-11) Distances are nullified when God speaks to the heart. It is the language of the Spirit of love that makes us able to understand and move toward each other even if we have different cultures. This innovation that Jesus inaugurated and which was then fulfilled by the Holy Spirit enables us, within the present historical context of humanity and of the Congregation, to look toward the future with trust: “Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth. ” (Ps. 103) 7. Using appropriate discernment we want to seek the future course of our life and identify the current challenges that arise from the process of Restructuring that we have been developing during the past six years. These are possibilities for renovation that are well-rooted in our past and in the charism that the Holy Spirit gave to St. Paul of the Cross and which is our inheritance. It is our task and it is a call from God to discern how we can give renewed life to Passionist values so that we can make the witness of fraternal life in our communities more authentic and give new energy to our mission that originates from the spring of the suffering of the Crucified One. We cannot neglect this task because the Passion of Christ did not end with his death on the cross; rather his Passion is alive and tangible and it continues in a mysterious yet real way, in the suffering of men and women and in the wounds of creation. Being alive and present is being faithful to our vocation; however, if we want to fully live consecrated life that speaks prophetically about salvation and liberation, it is necessary to refocus our lives on Calvary and reassume the cross, the origin of our vocation and the symbol of our identity. Fidelity to the God of the Cross identifies us as Passionists and as those who are sent into the world to announce the Good News to the “crucified”. 8. Fidelity to the God of the Cross means living our vocation and following the Founder. In fact Paul, enlightened by the Holy Spirit and, as if after a long journey, is struck by the belief that the Passion of Jesus and the Cross are the salvation of the world. This was the foundational “credo” of Paul of the Cross, writes Fr. Stanislas Breton in “The Passionist Congregation and its Charism”. And it is from this fire, from this river of fire that the Passionist Congregation was born. And today it is truly alive to the degree that it owns this origin as the underlying principle of its very being and its Passionist ministry. The statement: “I believe that the Cross of Christ is the salvation of the world”, continues Breton, is the Passionist profession of faith. It is a faith that must become service. St. Paul the Apostle also affirms this in his first Letter to the Corinthians: “To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.” (1Cor. 12:7) And the charism, if shared, becomes service. 9. In Paul, the compelling certainty that the Passion of Jesus “is the greatest and most overwhelming work of God’s love” becomes clear. And he calls it “the miracle of miracles of the love of God”, “the sea of love and pain” – love and pain that Paul frequently experienced. Then, considering the time in which he lived, its problems and its difficulties, he had the great insight that “evil is the fruit of and stems from having forgotten the Passion of Jesus.” 10. To remember – in the sense of “keeping alive the memory” of the Passion of Jesus – is the most efficacious remedy for the evils that afflict, exhaust and divide humanity, because 2 Superior General – Part I authentically “keeping alive the memory” means living by it and wanting one’s own life, choices and interpersonal and social relationships to be inspired by its logic of love.

  • Pope Benedict Xvi Message for World Day of the Sick 2011
    POPE BENEDICT XVI MESSAGE FOR WORLD DAY OF THE SICK 2011 ‘By his wounds you have been healed’ (1 Pt 2:24) Dear Brothers and Sisters! Every year, on the day of the memorial of the Blessed Virgin of Lourdes, which is celebrated on 11 February, the Church proposes the World Day of the Sick. This event, as the venerable John Paul II wanted, becomes a propitious occasion to reflect upon the mystery of suffering and above all to make our communities and civil society more sensitive to our sick brothers and sisters. If every man is our brother, much more must the sick, the suffering and those in need of care be, at the centre of our attention, so that none of them feels forgotten or emarginated; indeed, ‘the true measure of humanity is essentially determined in relationship to suffering and to the sufferer. This holds true both for the individual and for society. A society unable to accept its suffering members and incapable of helping to share their suffering and to bear it inwardly through “com-passion” is a cruel and inhuman society’ (Encyclical letter Spe salvi, n. 38). The initiatives that will be organised in each diocese on the occasion of this Day should be a stimulus to make care for the suffering increasingly effective, also in view of the solemn celebration that will take place in 2013 at the Marian sanctuary of Altötting in Germany. 1. I still have in my heart the moment when, during the course of the pastoral visit to Turin, I was able to pause in reflection and prayer before the Holy Shroud, before that suffering face, which invites us to reflect on He who took upon himself the passion of man, of every time and place, even our sufferings, our difficulties, our sins.

  • Witnessing Our Faith : TCDSB Principal Experiences at WYD
    Witnessing Our Faith : TCDSB Principal Experiences at WYD Madrid 2011 Many have asked me why I would choose to spend two weeks of my summer break with teenagers especially since I am the principal of a large Catholic secondary school. My answer is always a resounding “why not?” I was privileged to travel with the St. John the Evangelist youth group to Madrid World Youth Day 2011. This was my third pilgrimage with a group of young people from my parish, previously attending WYD Cologne 2005 and WYD Sydney 2008.The pilgrimage experience continues to reaffirm my own faith and mission as a Catholic educator. It is hard to describe the exhilaration I feel when I am amongst 2 million youth from all over the world who have come together to celebrate our faith through prayer, song and dance. We began our WYD pilgrimage by spending four days in Rome. One of the highlights was a day that started very early at St Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican. Here a chapel had been reserved for us beneath the Vatican near St Peter’s tomb so we could gather and celebrate Mass as a group with our pastor Fr. Michael McGourty. After Mass we visited the tomb of Blessed John Paul II who initiated World Youth Day. From Rome we travelled on to Spain. We started our time in Spain by visiting Avila, the birth place of St. Theresa of Avila. We then travelled to Toledo visiting the Cathedral of Spain’s Primate and celebrated Mass with the Archbishop of Toledo.

  • Decision to Follow Christ Requires Support from Others, Pope Says
    Decision to follow Christ requires support from others, pope says VATICAN CITY – The decision to follow Christ is not an easy one to make, so young people should look for support from the Christian community and the church, Pope Benedict XVI said in his message for World Youth Day 2011. “Do not believe those who tell you that you don’t need others to build up your life! Find support in the faith of those who are dear to you, in the faith of the church,” the pope wrote in his message, released Sept. 3. Pope Benedict called on all young people, even those who are no longer active members of the church as well as nonbelievers, to attend the World Youth Day celebrations in Madrid Aug. 16-21, 2011. He said the international gathering offers people a powerful experience of Jesus Christ and his love for everyone. “The decision to believe in Jesus Christ and to follow him is not an easy one. It is hindered by our personal failures and by the many voices that point us toward easier paths,” he said. The pope urged youths to not be discouraged and to look for the support of the Christian community and the church. The theme of World Youth Day 2011 is: “Planted and built up in Jesus Christ, firm in the faith.” The pope struck a very personal tone in his written message, relaying some of his own dreams and worries from his youth. When they were young, he said he and his friends “were not willing to settle for a conventional middle-class life.” Growing up during the Nazi dictatorship and the Second World War definitely contributed to their youthful ambitions of breaking free from the reigning power structures and to “experience the whole range of human possibilities,” he said.
