For the occasion, Pope Francis sent a video message in which he addressed his prayer to the Virgin. The following is a translation of Pope Fra n c i s ’ video message. O Mary, You shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who, at the Cross, united with Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm. You, Salvation of the Roman people, know what we need, and we trust that you will provide for those needs so that, as at Cana of Galilee, joy and celebration may return after this moment of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform ourselves to the will of the Father and to do what Jesus tells us. He who took our suffering upon Himself, and burdened Himself with our sorrows to bring us, through the Cross, to the joy of Resurrection. Amen. We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God. Do not despise our pleas — we who are put to the test — and deliver us from every danger.

    VICARIATO DI ROMA ______________ Roma, 15 ottobre 2020 UFFICIO SCUOLA CATTOLICA PROT. USC/701/2020 Ai Gestori, ai Coordinatori Didattici e agli Insegnanti delle Scuole Cattoliche della Diocesi di Roma Carissimi, da oltre un mese abbiamo ormai ripreso a pieno ritmo le nostre attività, ma senza abbassare la guardia rispetto all’emergenza sanitaria tuttora in corso. Vi ringrazio e vi ammiro per la passione e l’impegno che, insieme ai vostri collaboratori, state dimostrando al fine di coniugare il diritto allo studio e il diritto alla salute di tutti coloro che vi sono affidati. La vostra passione e il vostro impegno hanno un immenso valore educativo nei confronti di un’intera generazione di giovani. Quest’ufficio del Vicariato, che lavora in unità con quello per la Pastorale Scolastica e l’IRC, ha a cuore le vostre persone e tutte quelle che vivono nel mondo della scuola e, come ho avuto modo di dire in varie occasioni, svolge una funzione pastorale: aiuta le scuole cattoliche della nostra Diocesi a tenere un passo comune, in modo da camminare insieme alla Chiesa locale, mettendo al centro l’identità cattolica. Con amore di padre, che corregge i suoi figli, nell’Esortazione apostolica post-sinodale Christus vivit, indirizzata ai giovani e a tutto il popolo di Dio, Papa Francesco ha scritto: “Ci sono alcune scuole cattoliche che sembrano essere organizzate solo per conservare l’esistente. La fobia del cambiamento le rende incapaci di sopportare l’incertezza e le spinge a chiudersi di fronte ai pericoli, reali o immaginari, che ogni cambiamento porta con sé. La scuola trasformata in un bunker...” (CV, 221).
  • What Lies Ahead for Pope Francis and the Church in 2020?

    What Lies Ahead for Pope Francis and the Church in 2020?

    What lies ahead for Pope Francis and the Church in 2020? If the world was expecting Pope Francis to slow down with age — he turned 83 in late December — it certainly didn’t happen in 2019. Last year saw him make seven apostolic trips outside of Italy — a high for his pontificate — that included a January visit to Panama to celebrate World Youth Day and weeklong trips to Africa (Madagascar, Mauritius and Mozambique) and Asia (Thailand and Japan). He also attended the Vatican’s February summit on the protection of minors and October’s Synod of Bishops on the Amazon, released the post- synodal apostolic exhortation Christus Vivit and continued working toward reforming the Roman Curia. It was a busy year. How will he follow it up in 2020, the eighth year of his pontificate? While there are few official confirmations, and much remains subject to change, Pope Francis will continue to focus on his well-established priorities — namely, showing those on the peripheries, especially the poor, persecuted and marginalized, Christ’s love and the Church’s closeness to them. Likely — and unlikely — trips In separate events at the Vatican during 2019, he told audiences that he wished to visit South Sudan and Iraq in the coming year. So far, neither trip has been able to come to fruition, as both trips have been held back because of safety concerns. However, he repeatedly has stressed his wish to go to the African country that has been working toward, even if in baby steps, peace and reconciliation following a tumultuous civil war that has claimed at least 400,000 lives, and how he would like to travel there along with Archbishop Justin Welby of Canterbury, the Primate of the Anglican Church, for an ecumenical prayer for peace.

    The New Directory As Essential for Ministry with Youth and Young Adults

    Mapping the Way Forward: The New Directory as Essential for Ministry with Youth and Young Adults A Quick Annotated Guide for Pastoral Ministry Leaders with Paul E. Jarzembowski, Youth and Young Adult Ministries USCCB Secretariat of Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth • The Directory for Catechesis (2020) is a natural flow from Evangelii Gaudium (2013), Amoris Laetitia (2016), and Christus Vivit (2019) – the centerpieces of Pope Francis’ papacy. In particular Christus Vivit is a landmark document for youth and young adult ministries – and if you like this, the Directory takes the next step and asks: how can we implement it in our parishes and dioceses? • The Directory reminds us that one of the central tasks of our engagement with youth and young adults is to show them how to respond “to the lofty vocation to holiness… that is capable of bringing every situation back to the way of truth and happiness that is Christ.” (DFC 83) • In this sense, catechesis instructs the believer in following the Lord according to the dispositions described in the Beatitudes (Mt 5:1-12), which manifest his very life. ‘Jesus explained with great simplicity what it means to be holy when he gave us the Beatitudes (cf. Mt 5:3-12; Lk 6:20-23). The Beatitudes are like a Christian’s identity card.’ (GE 63)” (DFC 83) The reminder of ministry as connected to “the lofty vocation to holiness” is something that was emphasized by the Synod of Bishops in 2018, which noted in its Final Document: “As the Synod progressed, it became clear that ministry with young people needs a vocational slant, and that the pastoral care of vocations should be offered to all young people.

Thompson Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I greet you in the grace and peace of the Risen Jesus Christ. In the words of Pope Francis’ most recent apostolic exhortation, following the 2018 Synod of Bishops on “young people, the faith and vocational discernment,” “Christus Vivit” (“Christ is Alive”)! Easter is the pivotal moment of our entire liturgical year for Catholics, indeed, for all Christians. Throughout the course of the liturgical year, we proclaim the Good News of salvation, the Kingdom of God at hand. Imbued with the Gospel joy of Easter, we celebrate Jesus Christ’s victory over sin and death for our salvation. Having journeyed through the Lenten season, culminating with Holy Week, especially the three great days known as the Triduum, we now begin 50 days of Easter celebration to mark our belief in the forgiveness of our sins and redemption through the passion, death and resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ. Over the course of these 50 days leading up to the feast of Pentecost, we take the opportunity to raise our minds, hearts and voices in gratitude of what God has done for us, and to rejoice in praise and thanksgiving. Regardless of the burdens, injustices and brokenness that may continue to plague our world, families and lives, we rejoice in the divine triumph that transforms all things in Jesus Christ.

    Address of His Holiness Benedict Xvi to Members of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences on the Occasion of Their Plenary Assembly

    ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI TO MEMBERS OF THE PONTIFICAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES ON THE OCCASION OF THEIR PLENARY ASSEMBLY Clementine Hall Friday, 31 October 2008 Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, I am happy to greet you, the members of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, on the occasion of your Plenary Assembly, and I thank Professor Nicola Cabibbo for the words he has kindly addressed to me on your behalf. In choosing the topic Scientific Insight into the Evolution of the Universe and of Life, you seek to focus on an area of enquiry which elicits much interest. In fact, many of our contemporaries today wish to reflect upon the ultimate origin of beings, their cause and their end, and the meaning of human history and the universe. In this context, questions concerning the relationship between science’s reading of the world and the reading offered by Christian Revelation naturally arise. My predecessors Pope Pius XII and Pope John Paul II noted that there is no opposition between faith’s understanding of creation and the evidence of the empirical sciences. Philosophy in its early stages had proposed images to explain the origin of the cosmos on the basis of one or more elements of the material world. This genesis was not seen as a creation, but rather a mutation or transformation; it involved a somewhat horizontal interpretation of the origin of the world. A decisive advance in understanding the origin of the cosmos was the consideration of being qua being and the concern of metaphysics with the most basic question of the first or transcendent origin of participated being.

    A TIME for HOPE Fundamentals for a Renewal of Augustinian Religious Life After the Coronavirus

    INSTITUTE OF AUGUSTINIAN SPIRITUALITY A TIME FOR HOPE Fundamentals for a Renewal of Augustinian Religious Life after the Coronavirus ROME 2020 Come, my friends, 'T is not too late to seek a newer world. […] For my purpose holds/ to sail beyond the sunset. […] We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. (A. Tennyson, Ulysses) We are in a time of crisis, understood in the strongest sense of a terminus (krisis, a separation, a break point at which one must decide), it forces us to think and to discern. In our case it is desirable that it lead us to profound changes, to a conversion based on the Gospel itself. It is enough that some of the pillars upon which we build our small world of daily securities might collapse so that suddenly we might see ourselves confronted by the mystery of who we are. It is somewhat paradoxical that a virus, a microscopic organism that all of sudden emerges, would so shake humanity, setting off such an unimaginable crisis. It is also very significant. The paradigm of the world we know flounders because a virus has overturned a whole way of being and doing. We thought ourselves to be invulnerable, powerful, self-sufficient; we epitomized a euphoric activism and, frequently, overbearing. Covid-19 has upset our projects and our tranquility. Has it taught us anything? Has it made us wiser? Saint Augustine said that “true wisdom is humble and true humility is wise.”1 What has happened to us is, without doubt, a strong affirmation of the humility of our limited human condition and, hopefully, might result in a return to God, an Easter.

    The Holy See ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS TO OFFICIALS OF THE VATICAN SECRET ARCHIVE Clementine Hall Monday, 4 March 2019 [Multimedia] Dear Brothers and Sisters, I welcome you; I am pleased to receive you. I thank Msgr José Tolentino de Mendonça for the courteous greeting he addressed to me on behalf of all of you. I greet Msgr Sergio Pagano, Prof. Paolo Vian, the new Vice-Prefect, and you archivists, writers, assistants and employees of the Vatican Secret Archive, as well as the professors of the Vatican School of Paleography, Diplomacy and Archives Administration. The occasion of your visit — at such a short time since my meeting with you and with the Apostolic Library last 4 December — is part of the joyful occasion, which was precisely the day before yesterday, of the 80th anniversary of the election on 2 March 1939 as Supreme Pontiff the Servant of God Pius XII, of venerable memory. The figure of that Pontiff, who was at the helm of the Barque of Peter at one of the saddest and darkest moments of the 20th century, in turmoil and largely destroyed by the last world war, with the consequent period of the reorganization of nations and post-war reconstruction, this figure has already been examined and studied in many aspects, at times debated and even criticized (one might say with some prejudice or exaggeration). Today he is appropriately being reexamined and indeed placed in the proper light for his multifaceted qualities: pastoral, first and foremost, but also theological, ascetic, diplomatic. At the behest of Pope Benedict XVI, you Superiors and Officials of the Vatican Secret Archive, as well as of the Historical Archives of the Holy See and of Vatican City State, from 2006 to today 2 have been working on a joint project of cataloguing and preparing the voluminous documentation produced during the Pontificate of Pius XII, a part of which has already been made available for consultation by my venerated Predecessors St.
