  • The Holy See
    The Holy See SOLEMNITY OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY JOHN PAUL II ANGELUS Wednesday, 8 December 2004 1. Tota pulchra es, Maria! On 8 December 1854, 150 years ago, Bl. Pius IX proclaimed the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The privilege of being preserved free from original sin means that she was the first to be redeemed by her Son. Her sublime beauty, which mirrors that of Christ, is for all believers a pledge of the victory of divine Grace over sin and death. 2. The Immaculate Conception shines like a beacon of light for humanity in all the ages. At the beginning of the third millennium, it guides us to believe and hope in God, in his salvation and in eternal life. In particular, it lights the way of the Church, which is committed to the new evangelization. 3. This afternoon, in my traditional tribute to the Blessed Virgin in Piazza di Spagna, I will entrust the city of Rome and the whole world to her, the Immaculate Mother of the Word made Man. Let us now pray for her powerful intercession with filial trust as we recite the Angelus. After the recitation of the Angelus, the Holy Father said: Yesterday evening in Mossul, Iraq, an Armenian Apostolic Church and the Chaldean Archbishop's 2 residence were destroyed. I express my spiritual closeness to the faithful, deeply distressed by the attack, and I pray the Lord through the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin that the Iraqi People may at last experience a time of reconciliation and peace.

Un esdeveniment que reuneix cada estiu els noms propis més rellevants del panorama musical nacional i internacional a Calella de Palafrugell (Girona), en un paratge impressionant davant del mar, situat en els termes municipals de Palafrugell i de Mont-ras, a la comarca del Baix Empordà. L’entorn natural format pel castell de Cap Roig i el jardí botànic, considerat un dels més importants de la Mediterrània, és l’escenari perfecte per gaudir de la música a les nits d’estiu com mai abans no t’ho havies imaginat. Una experiència única i inoblidable que té com a denominador comú un cartell eclèctic i equilibrat amb els artistes més destacats de cada gènere musical. El Festival de Cap Roig afronta aquesta nova edició sota la direcció de Clipper’s Live i amb l’impuls de CaixaBank, amb el repte de continuar impulsant un model de festival d’estiu d’èxit, amb una programació de qualitat i amb la intenció de promocionar el territori també des del vessant cultural, social i econòmic.
