Pope to Lead Full Slate of Holy Week, Easter Liturgies Pope to lead full slate of Holy Week, Easter liturgies VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI will lead a full slate of Holy Week and Easter liturgies in Rome and at the Vatican, highlighting a busy papal schedule this spring. The Vatican announced Feb. 1 that the pope would preside over eight major events in the week leading up to Easter. The liturgies include a Mass April 2 commemorating the second anniversary of Pope John Paul II’s death. The pope’s Holy Week activities will begin with a procession and Mass in St. Peter’s Square on Palm Sunday, April 1. As he did last year, Pope Benedict will celebrate a chrism Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica on Holy Thursday and that evening will preside over the Mass of the Lord’s Supper in the Basilica of St. John Lateran in central Rome. On Good Friday he will celebrate the liturgy of the Lord’s Passion in St. Peter’s Basilica in the late afternoon ,then will lead a nighttime Way of the Cross at the Rome Colosseum. On Holy Saturday, the pope will preside over the Easter Vigil in St. Peter’s Basilica. On Easter, April 8, he will celebrate Mass in St. Peter’s Square and give his blessing “urbi et orbi” (to the city of Rome and the world). The Vatican also released the pope’s Lenten schedule. He will celebrate Mass at the Rome Basilica of Santa Sabina on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 21, and begin his weeklong spiritual retreat Feb. 25. Italian Cardinal Giacomo Biffi, retired archbishop of Bologna, will preach the papal retreat this year, Vatican Radio reported. Cardinal Biffi was said to be a strong supporter of the pope in the conclave that elected him in 2005. The cardinal is well-known in Italy for his sometimes provocative statements; in 2000, he suggested that the Italian government should favor Catholic immigrants to offset the number of Muslim immigrants and protect Italy’s “national identity.” The pope’s schedule through April also includes a parish visit in Rome March 25, a penitential liturgy with young people March 29, a trip April 21-22 to the northern Italian cities of Vigevano and Pavia, and a Mass to ordain new priests April 29. On April 15, the pope will celebrate a special Mass in St. Peter’s on the eve of his 80th birthday..

  • Do Not Be Afraid to Talk of God Benedict XVI Address to the Fatima Pilgrims “Sweet Christ on Earth,” St
    ISSUE 12 SEP-OCT 2010 Do Not Be Afraid to Talk of God Benedict XVI Address to the Fatima Pilgrims “Sweet Christ on earth,” St. Catherine of Siena All of you, standing together with lighted candles in your hands, seem like a sea of light around this simple chapel, lovingly built to the honor of the Mother of God and our mother, whose path from earth to heaven appeared to the shepherd children like a way of light. However, neither Mary nor we have a light of our own: we receive it from Jesus. His presence within us renews the mystery and the call of the burning bush which once drew Moses on Mount Sinai and still fasci- nates those aware of the light within us which burns without consuming us (cf. Ex 3:2-5). We are merely a bush, but one upon which the glory of God has now come down. To him therefore be every glory, and to us the humble confession of our nothingness and the unworthy adoration of the divine plan which will be fulfilled when "God will be all in all" (cf. 1 Cor 15:28). The matchless servant of that plan was the Virgin full of grace: "Behold the handmaid of the Lord: let it be done to me according to your word" (Lk 1:38). Dear pilgrims, let us imitate Mary, letting her words "Let it be done to me" resound in our lives. God ordered Moses: "Take off your shoes, for the place on which you stand is holy ground" (Ex3:5).

  • The Renewal of the Ambrosian and the Hispano-Mozarabic Liturgy After the Second Vatican Council
    „Ruch Biblijny i Liturgiczny” 66 (2013) nr 3 REV. TOMASZ BAĆ The Renewal of the Ambrosian and the Hispano-Mozarabic Liturgy after the Second Vatican Council The renewal of the liturgy and its general reform made after the Second Vatican Council generally concerns the Roman Rite, which all instruc- tions of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy Sacrosanctum Concilium refer to. The conciliar fathers were well aware of the fact that there is a need for renewing other rites and traditions existing in the Church.1 In the introduction to the first conciliar constitution it was stated that: “In faithful obedience to tradition, the sacred Council declares that holy Mother Church holds all lawfully acknowledged rites to be of equal right and dignity; that she wishes to preserve them in the future and to foster them in every way. The Council also desires that, where necessary, the rites be revised carefully in the light of sound tradition, and that they be given new vigor to meet the circumstances and needs of modern times” (Constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium, 4). In the Latin Church, from among many local rites which, throughout centuries and alongside the Roman Rite, served as evidence of the rich- ness of the Christian liturgy, tradition and culture, only two rites were 1 In the context of liturgy renewal after the Second Vatican Council the terms “rite” and “liturgy” may be considered to be synonyms, although their meaning is not, in fact, identical; cf. A. M. Triacca, La Liturgia ambrosiana, [in:] La Liturgia: panorama storico generale, Genova 2002, p. 88 (Anàmnesis, 2).

  • Ecclesial Repentance and the Demands of Dialogue
    Theological Studies 61 (2000) ECCLESIAL REPENTANCE AND THE DEMANDS OF DIALOGUE BRADFORD E. HINZE [For the author, John Paul II’s call for ecclesial repentance raises three disputed issues. How is the dialogical character of revelation and the Church to be understood? Does the sinfulness of the Church refer only to individual members or also to the Church as a corpo- rate entity? Is it appropriate to understand the reformation of eccle- sial traditions of discourse and practice as an act of penance asso- ciated with conversion?] HAT DOES IT MEAN for the Church to repent? And how can dialogue W serve as both an impetus for and instrument of the Church’s repen- tance? These are questions raised by statements of Pope John Paul II over the last few years. As widely discussed, in preparation for the new millen- nium, the pope called the Roman Catholic Church to repent of numerous offenses.1 His apologies to Jews and to women have elicited considerable attention. But no less important is his acknowledgment that the Church should repent of its sins against Orthodox and Protestant Christians both during the initial disputes that divided the Church and over the long history of polemics; against Muslims, especially during the Crusades; against Ga- lileo and the scientific community; and against those who suffered during the Inquisition and at the hands of Church-supported oppressive dictators and regimes. The pope also denounced the Church’s complicity with racism BRADFORD E. HINZE is associate professor in the department of theology at Marquette University. He received his Ph.D.

  • Michael Costigan*
    VATICAN II AS I EXPERIENCED IT Michael Costigan* A memorable Roman autumn Autumn is an enchanting time in Rome. By October the relentless heat of July and August, from which many of the Romans themselves flee, is only an uncomfortable memory. The days are shorter, often blessed by cloudless skies, with mild sunshine enhancing the golden glow of some of the ancient and modern buildings, especially in the late afternoon. The Romans, including the Pope and his court, have returned, the number of tourists has declined, the schools and universities are open for business and hot roasted chestnuts are on sale at street corners – or used to be in my day. After living through nine Roman autumns as a seminarian and student- priest between 1952 and 1961, I welcomed the chance in 1963 to experience one more of those magical seasons, probably my last and certainly the most memorable of all. I was there that year for the second of the four autumnal sessions of the Second Vatican Council, as a priest-reporter commissioned to cover the event for the Melbourne Catholic Advocate, of which I was the Associate Editor, as well as for three other Australian Catholic weekly newspapers. With the Australian Catholic Historical Society marking the 50th anniversary this year of the opening of Vatican II by making that event the theme of several of the monthly papers scheduled for 2012, the Society’s President suggested I help to set the scene by painting a picture of what it was actually like to be at the Council. My writings and diary My memory of the 77 days I spent in Rome during that autumn is aided by the voluminous reports I mailed back to Australia and by a pamphlet subsequently published by the Australian Catholic Truth Society with the title Vatican Council Survey, in which I summarised those reports.1 In addition, I kept a rough diary in an exercise book in which, usually before retiring late at night, I noted my daily activities in and around the Council.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Pope John Paul II’s Understanding of Education in Moral Values and Its Application to Catholic Secondary Education in Present-Day Nicaragua A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Sacred Theology © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Silvio J. Fonseca-Martinez Washington, D.C. 2011 Pope John Paul II’s Understanding of Education in Moral Values and Its Application to Catholic Secondary Education in Present-Day Nicaragua Silvio J. Fonseca-Martinez, S.T.D. Director: John Grabowski, Ph.D. Karol Wojtyla/John Paul II reinvigorated Catholic education anthropologically and theologically. He encouraged Catholic schools, as a privileged place for Catholic education, to provide a solid Catholic moral foundation for their students. This dissertation explores his key ideas on Catholic education both before and after Wojtyla’s elevation to the papacy. His teachings in this area are relevant to Nicaraguan Catholic schools to reinforce their current educational programs. Methodologically, this study focuses on the moral values of responsibility, justice and solidarity, highlighted by Pope John Paul II to the Church of Nicaragua. It then uses these values to analyze samples of the moral curricula of three religious communities used in Nicaraguan Catholic secondary schools in terms of their similarities to John Paul II’s teaching on Catholic education. The study begins by analyzing the current moral reality of Nicaragua in which young people are immersed. The second chapter provides key concepts articulated by John Paul II through which he enriched the concept of the human person and on which he fundamentally based his moral theology.
