As of today, 1,85,000 cases have been reported worldwide with 7,100 deaths. Every day, news is received of more cases and more deaths. In order to combat the crisis, there is a need to minimise large gatherings of people and social contacts. The Government has also issued advisories in this regard. Keeping the above in mind, the following temporary provisions are made: I am hereby exemp ng all our faithful in the Archdiocese of Bombay from the obliga on to a end Mass on Sundays ll March 31, 2020. I urge all who are sick, or having a weakened medical condi on, not to come to church for Sunday Mass. Similarly, anyone who has fever, cough and cold is urged not to come to church for Mass. I advise all those above 60 years of age not to come for Mass, since according to medical experts, those of this age group are more vulnerable. Sunday is the Day of the Lord, and we are encouraged to keep it sacred. Besides, we are in the season of Lent, when we are invited to pray more. Hence: Par cularly on Sundays, the family should pray together the family Rosary, or make the Way of the Cross, or have a medita ve reading of the Bible for 15 minutes. I am asking the Liturgical Commission to prepare a Liturgy of the Word which you can use at home. If it is convenient to you, follow the Eucharist on YouTube; a Mass off ered by me will be available on Sundays on the Archdiocese of Bombay website. These norms will be revised in early April, and further direc ons will be given. In the mean me, you are earnestly advised to reduce socialising, and stay at home as much as possible. Do use this opportunity to bond more with the family and to listen to the Lord in silence and prayer. We pray that with the collec ve eff ort of all, the threat will diminish and disappear, and life will come back to normal. All of us pray ardently for this inten on. Wishing you a frui ul and grace-fi lled season of Lent. ?

As Roman Catholics, we are accustomed to our priests T being celibate; they do not marry, or seek the things that belong properly to married life. Children are told in catechism classes that though there are seven Sacraments, they will normally receive only six in their lifetime. Yet, paradoxically, we address our priests as "Fathers", following a Christian custom that EDITORIAL goes back to ancient times. This is because the relationship between priesthood and fatherhood goes back to the beginning of Creation. God creates Adam, the father of the human race, and gives him 'dominion' over the earth and all living creatures. "Be fruitful and multiply and fi ll the earth and subdue it" (Gen 1:28) The Lord then places Adam in the garden of Eden "to till it and guard it" (Gen 2:15). In this, we discover the purpose of man's creation. God called Adam to be a provider, a protector, a progenitor and a guardian. In short, God made him to be a father. Yet, for ancient Israelites, Adam's paternity was not reducible only to his biological fatherhood. Nor was it a sum total of regular fatherly duties. Scripture points to Adam's fatherhood to be, above all else, a priesthood. The Hebrew words for Adam's mandate in the garden "to till it and keep it" – abodah and shamar – appear together elsewhere in the Pentateuch (the fi rst fi ve books of the Bible) only to describe the ministry of the priests and the Levites in the holy sanctuary (Num 3:7-8; 8:26; 18:5-6). This shows that God intended Creation to be a royal temple built by a heavenly king and served by a priest, a divinised creature, who through his holy work, is also a co-creator with God. This was the primary work of the Patriarchs (or "Fathers") after Adam. They fulfi lled the priestly role within their families. It was Noah who built an altar and off ered sacrifi ce on behalf of the household. So did Abraham, so did Jacob. They were mediators for their tribe, ministers of sacrifi ce, custodians of the covenant with God. By means of their blessing, they passed their priesthood on to their fi rst-born sons. From the priesthood belonging to every father of the family, the ministerial priesthood passes on to one clan, the family of Aaron and his sons, to serve the nation of Israel as priests, after the Israelites' shameful act of idolatry in the desert.

  • The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic
    The Catholic Church in the Czech Republic Dear Readers, The publication on the Ro- man Catholic Church which you are holding in your hands may strike you as history that belongs in a museum. How- ever, if you leaf through it and look around our beauti- ful country, you may discover that it belongs to the present as well. Many changes have taken place. The history of the Church in this country is also the history of this nation. And the history of the nation, of the country’s inhabitants, always has been and still is the history of the Church. The Church’s mission is to serve mankind, and we want to fulfil Jesus’s call: “I did not come to be served but to serve.” The beautiful and unique pastoral constitution of Vatican Coun- cil II, the document “Joy and Hope” begins with the words: “The joys and the hopes, the grief and the anxieties of the men of this age, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these are the joys and hopes, the grief and anxieties of the followers of Christ.” This is the task that hundreds of thousands of men and women in this country strive to carry out. According to expert statistical estimates, approximately three million Roman Catholics live in our country along with almost twenty thousand of our Eastern broth- ers and sisters in the Greek Catholic Church, with whom we are in full communion. There are an additional million Christians who belong to a variety of other Churches. Ecumenical cooperation, which was strengthened by decades of persecution and bullying of the Church, is flourishing remarkably in this country.

  • Papal Charity to Run Holy Week Vaccination Clinic for the Poor
    Papal charity to run Holy Week vaccination clinic for the poor VATICAN CITY (CNS) — The Office of Papal Charities has purchased enough doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to offer inoculations in Rome to 1,200 of “the poorest and most marginalized people who, because of their situation, are the most exposed” to the coronavirus. The office, run by Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, said in a statement March 26 that the first doses would be administered during Holy Week in the atrium of the Vatican audience hall, which is where Vatican employees have been receiving the Pfizer shots since mid-January. Cardinal Krajewski’s office also encouraged people to buy a vaccine for “our poorest and most vulnerable brothers and sisters” by making a donation online at www.elemosineria.va, the address of the papal almoner’s office, which distributes charity in the name of the pope. Soon after Pope Francis and retired Pope Benedict XVI received their first Pfizer shots in mid-January, Pope Francis asked the Vatican health service to not only vaccinate Vatican residents and employees, but also the poor who live in three homeless shelters nearby. Fifty residents were vaccinated, the almoner’s office said. The Vatican also vaccinated journalists who traveled with Pope Francis to Iraq in early March and has been offering the vaccine to ambassadors accredited to the Holy See. As of March 26, the Vatican had not said how many people total had been vaccinated there. Pope Francis has repeatedly encouraged people to get vaccinated to protect their health, the health of their loved ones and the health of their neighbors.

  • 2018 Catholic Ministries Appeal
    A couple of things that got my attention this past week… First, was the news coverage of the German experimental filmmaker, Wim Wenders, who is a lapsed Catholic at that, who was chosen the Vatican to produce a powerful Documentary - titled Pope Francis -- A Man of his Word. 60 Minutes did an extensive interview with him two weeks ago. The movie was released a week ago and gives a very interesting, unscripted view of Pope Francis. If you haven’t see the interview, I would recommend it. Catholic News Service described: Pope Francis: A Man of His Word, As well- crafted, sometimes moving documentary in which the pontiff largely speaks for himself, touching on a wide variety of topics of interest to believers and nonbelievers alike and setting out his vision for the future of the church. My wife and I hope to see it this weekend. Secondly, was Pope Francis’ announcement of the appointment of 14 new Cardinals. The College of Cardinals members who are under age 80 will elect the new pope. He added 11 elector Cardinals. He appointed Cardinals from Poland, Portugal, Madagascar, Iraq, Pakistan, Japan, Peru, Spain and Italy. There is a great article on the Catholic Website, https://cruxnow.com/global- church/2018/05/22/with-new-cardinals-pope-speaks-about-the-church-and- himself/ Most of them have a very modest background. One is Bishop Toribio 2018 Catholic Porco Ticona from Bolivia, who went from being a shoe shiner and mine worker Ministries Appeal to becoming a “Prince of the Church.” Some of them come from where Catholics are a minority.

  • Watykan Czterech Papieży
    KWIECIEŃ 2014 Nr 5.2/2014/59.2–e Cz. II Wydanie specjalne WATYKAN CZTERECH PAPIEŻY 13. marca, podczas drugiego dnia konklawe, zwołanego w związku z rezygnacją papieża Benedykta XVI, w piątym głosowaniu został wybrany argentyński kardynał Jorge Mario Bergoglio. Tradycyjny biały dym, obwieszczający światu wybór głowy Kościoła, pojawił się o godz. 1906. Franciszek na początku inauguracyjnego wystąpienia odmówił Modlitwę Pańską za swojego poprzednika, Benedykta XVI. Następnie poprosił wiernych o odmówienie modlitwy za swój pontyfikat, po czym udzielił pierwszego błogosławieństwa Urbi et Orbi. Wezwał też do modlitwy o ogólnoświatowe braterstwo. 23. marca, papież senior Benedykt XVI spotkał się w Castel Gandolfo z urzędującym papieżem. 2. maja 2013 r. emerytowany papież, po pobycie w Castel Gandolfo, powrócił do Watykanu. Zamieszkał tu w klasztorze Mater Ecclesiae. Papieża seniora przywitał jego następca, Franciszek oraz delegacja Watykanu z sekretarzem stanu kardynałem Bertone i dziekanem Kolegium Kardynalskiego kardynałem Sodano. 1 5. lipca 2013 r., Benedykt XVI po raz pierwszy od momentu abdykacji wziął udział razem z Franciszkiem w ceremonii zorganizowanej na terenie Watykanu. Jak podały media – podczas uroczystości odsłonięcia pomnika Michała Archanioła przed budynkiem gubernatorstwa Państwa Watykańskiego, obaj papieże siedzieli obok siebie. W trakcie krótkiego przemówienia Franciszek podziękował Benedyktowi XVI za jego przybycie. p Pierwsze miesiące pontyfikatu papieża Franciszka patrz również… Nr10/2013/37–e Cz.

  • What Happened at the 2015 Synod? Part H
    WHAT HAPPENED AT THE 2015 SYNOD? PART H An Urgent and Disturbing Aside (Continued) We continue with the topic of the increasing opposition to our Holy Father and the rough year the Pope had in 2015 with things happening that could be used against him, his papacy, and his reform of the Church. If we read the preceding material in these reflections/comments carefully, we will be aware that Francis from time to time references “scandals,” e.g., in the last edition of these materials (PART G), I highlighted the word “scandals” three times in Francis’ discourse to the Curia near Christmas time. Francis does not specify what these scandals are and there were more than a few! One of the scandals Francis probably had in mind was the case of Jozef Wesolowski, the Archbishop who served in the Dominican Republic as part of the Vatican’s diplomatic corps. “This [Francis] is the first pope in modern times who is prepared to jail high-ranking prelates [like this Archbishop] who was laicised and about to go on trial for child abuse when he died in August [2015]” (Marco Politi, veteran Vatican observer and author of Pope Francis Among the Wolves: The inside story of a revolution, “Features: Vatileaks scandals – Sex enters the mix as corruption saga rumbles on”, The Tablet, December 5, 2015). Here Francis saw “his own press office forced to release details of the autopsy of this papal diplomat accused of sexual abuse, who died in August, because of persistent rumours he may have been killed to avoid the embarrassment of a trial” (“Analysis: Despite a rough year, Pope Francis vows it’s full steam ahead”).

Michael Czerny S.J. Undersecretary, Migrants and Refugees Section, Dicastery for the Promotion of Integral Human Development Most Reverend Eminences and Excellencies, Reverend Monsignors and Fathers, Dear friends, I cordially greet you and thank the organizers for having kindly accepted my request to speak at your Plenary Assembly. In this speech I would like to suggest three points for your consideration. First, I would like to briefly describe the Holy Father's Message for the 106th World Day of Migrants and Refugees, which this year will be celebrated tomorrow, Sunday, 27 September. Secondly, I would like to briefly illustrate the work of the Section for Migrants and Refugees and highlight the work we have done during this pandemic. Finally, I will devote a few words to the common mission of the universal Church and local Churches in relation to the pastoral care of migrants. 1. A Brief Discussion of the Message for WDMR 2020 Since the beginning of his papacy, the core of Pope Francis' teachings on migration has revolved around four action verbs: welcoming, protecting, promoting, and integrating.1 In this year's message for the World Day of Migrants and Refugees, these four verbs refer specifically to forced internal migration. The title of the Holy Father's Message dedicated to the Day we will celebrate tomorrow is "Forced like Jesus Christ to Flee: Welcoming, Protecting, 1 Francis, Address to participants in the International Forum "Migrations and Peace", 21 February 2017 http://www.vatican.va/content/Francis/it/speeches/2017/february/documents/papa- Francis_20170221_forum-migrazioni-pace.html Migrants & Refugees Section | Integral Human Development | Palazzo San Calisto | 00120 Vatican City Tel.
