When Jesus forgives the sinful woman, the Pope said, his action causes scandal, because it overturns the dominant attitude of the time. In- stead of rejecting sinners, however, Jesus embraces them: those who are outcast, the “untouchable”. In- deed, the Pope observed, “Jesus feels compassion. Literally: Jesus feels his heart tremble”. In this way, “Christ’s heart embodies and reveals the heart of God, who, wherever there is a man or woman suffering, wishes healing, libera- tion, full life for him or her”. This astonishing attitude to those in desperate situations, even those who have made many mis- takes in life, marks our Christian identity with the stamp of mercy, and gives a sure foundation to our hope. It is important to remem- ber, recalled the Holy Father, that “we are all poor sinners, in need of God’s mercy which has the “God’s garden of forgiveness”, Andrea Marie Brueck (2010) power to transform us and to give us back hope”, and that to those “who understand this fundamental truth, God gives the most beauti- ful mission in the world”, which is Appeal for peace in Nigeria and Central African Republic to love our brothers and sisters, and to proclaim “the message of a mercy which He does not deny anyone”. End all hatred and violence PAGE 3 At the conclusion of the General Audience on Wednesday, 9 August, Pope Francis made an earnest entreaty for an end to hatred and violence against Christians in Africa. The following is a translation of the Explosive beginning Pope’s appeal. I was deeply distressed by the mas- and silent end sacre that occurred this past Sunday in Nigeria, inside a church, where innocent people were killed. And sadly this morn- ing there was news of homicidal violence against the Christian com- munity in the Central African Re- public. I pray that every form of hatred and violence may cease and that such shameful crimes commit- ted in places of worship, where the faithful gather to pray, will never be repeated. Let us think of our brothers and sisters of Nigeria and of the Central African Republic. Let us pray for them, all together: Hail Mary, ....

The proposal is addressed to all religious leaders and to people around the world to implore God to help humanity overcome the coronavirus (Covid- 19) pandemic. The appeal released on Sat- urday, 2 May, reads: “Our world is facing a great danger that threatens the lives of millions of people around the world due to the growing spread of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.

    The Holy See APOSTOLIC LETTER ISSUED MOTU PROPRIO NORMAS NONNULLAS OF THE SUPREME PONTIFF BENEDICT XVI ON CERTAIN MODIFICATIONS TO THE NORMS GOVERNING THE ELECTION OF THE ROMAN PONTIFF With the Apostolic Letter De Aliquibus Mutationibus in Normis de Electione Romani Pontificis, issued Motu Proprio in Rome on 11 June 2007, the third year of my Pontificate, I established certain norms which, by abrogating those laid down in No. 75 of the Apostolic Constitution Universi Dominici Gregis, promulgated on 22 February 1996 by my Predecessor Blessed John Paul II, reinstated the traditional norm whereby a majority vote of two thirds of the Cardinal electors present is always necessary for the valid election of a Roman Pontiff.Given the importance of ensuring that the entire process of electing the Roman Pontiff is carried out in the best possible way at every level, especially with regard to the sound interpretation and enactment of certain provisions, I hereby establish and decree that several norms of the Apostolic Constitution Universi Dominici Gregis, as well as the changes which I myself introduced in the aforementioned Apostolic Letter, are to be replaced by the following norms:No. 35. "No Cardinal elector can be excluded from active or passive voice in the election of the Supreme Pontiff, for any reason or pretext, with due regard for the provisions of Nos. 40 and 75 of this Constitution."No. 37. "I furthermore decree that, from the moment when the Apostolic See is lawfully vacant, fifteen full days must elapse before the Conclave begins, in order to await those who are absent; nonetheless, the College of Cardinals is granted the faculty to move forward the start of the Conclave if it is clear that all the Cardinal electors are present; they can also defer, for serious reasons, the beginning of the election for a few days more.

  • Citing Cold, Pope Skips Lenten Retreat with Curia
    Citing cold, pope skips Lenten retreat with Curia VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Continuing his recovery from a mild cold, Pope Francis said that he would be unable to attend his annual Lenten retreat with Roman Curia officials. “Unfortunately, my cold forces me to not participate,” the pope told pilgrims in St. Peter’s Square March 1 for his Sunday Angelus address. “This year, I will follow the meditations from here. I spiritually join the curia and all the people who are living this moment of prayer, doing spiritual exercises at home,” he said. According to a March 2 report by Vatican News, the pope sent a message to members of the Roman Curia attending the retreat at the Pauline Fathers’ retreat and conference center in Ariccia, a town about 20 miles southeast of Rome. The message was read by Jesuit Father Pietro Bovati, secretary of the Pontifical Biblical Commission, who was leading the Lenten meditations on: “The encounter between God and man, in the light of Exodus, the Gospel of Matthew and the prayer of the psalms.” “I accompany you from here. I will do the exercises in my room, following the preaching of Father Bovati whom I thank very much. I will pray for you; please, do the same for me,” the pope said. This is the first time in his papacy that Pope Francis has missed the annual Lenten retreat. The tradition of having weeklong, preached “spiritual exercises” for the pope and members of the papal household began with Pope Pius XI in 1925. For more than 35 years, it was an Advent, not a Lenten retreat.

    THE PONTIFICAL ACADEMY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES PLENARY SESSION ON THE FAMILY AS RELATIONAL GOOD: THE CHALLENGE OF LOVE WEDNESDAY 27 - FRIDAY 29 APRIL 2022 CASINA PIO IV | VATICAN CITY The good of the family is decisive for the future of the world and that of the Church. Countless studies have been made of marriage and the family, their current problems and challenges. We do well to focus on concrete realities, since the call and the demands of the Spirit resound in the events of history, and through these the Church can also be guided to a more profound understanding of the inexhaustible mystery of marriage and the family. (Pope Francis, Amoris laetitia, 31) The ability of the family to initiate its members to human fraternity can be considered a hidden treasure that can aid that general rethinking of social policies and human rights whose need is so urgently felt today.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See POPE FRANCIS MORNING MEDITATION IN THE CHAPEL OF THE DOMUS SANCTAE MARTHAE Pray Our Father Thursday, 20 June 2013 (by L'Osservatore Romano, Weekly ed. in English, n. 26, 26 June 2013) There is no need to fritter away words in order to pray: the Lord knows what we want to say to him. The important thing is that our first word be “Father”. Jesus’ advice to the Apostles was what Pope Francis, in turn, offered during the homily at Mass on Thursday morning, 20 June, in the Chapel of the Domus Sanctae Marthae. Concelebrating, among others, was Cardinal Zenon Grocholewski, Prefect of the Congregation for Catholic Education, who was accompanied by some staff from the dicastery. Thus the Pontiff repeated Jesus’ advice to the Apostles when he gave them the Our Father, according the Evangelist Matthew's account (6:7-15). In order to pray, there is no need to make noise or believe that that it is better to use more words.
