La Commissione era stata istituita da Paolo VI, il 19 marzo 1970, con il Motu Proprio Apostolicae Caritatis.83 Quell’organismo ereditava, tra altri, anche i compiti dell’Ufficio Migrazione, stabilito in duplice sezione presso la Segreteria di Stato, nel 1946, e l’Ufficio del Delegato per le opere d’emigrazione, creato dalla Costituzione Apostolica Exsul Familia, del primo agosto 1952.84 Questo, a sua volta, aveva preso il posto dell’Ufficio del Prelato per l’emigrazione italiana, costituito con una Notificazione della Concistoriale del 23 Ottobre 1920,85 sotto il pontificato di Benedetto XV. Prima ancora, San Pio X aveva creato presso la Concistoriale l’Ufficio Speciale per l’Emigrazione con il Motu Proprio Cum Omnes Catholicos, del 5 Agosto 1912.86 Ma l’intuizione di istituire un organismo unitario e centrale per l’assistenza ai migranti di ogni nazionalità risale al Beato Vescovo Giovanni Battista Scalabrini. Egli ne espose il progetto a San Pio X in una lettera del 22 luglio 1904 e, più dettagliatamente, in un memoriale del 4 maggio 1905.87 Nell’arco di questa appassionante storia, la Rivista “On the Move. Migrazioni e turismo” uscì con il suo primo numero nel mese di settembre 1971 e mantenne tale titolo fino al numero 47. Con il numero 48, edito nel mese di luglio 1987, cambiò formato e veste tipografica e assunse il titolo che ancora porta attualmente, “People on the Move”, con il desiderio di continuare a “provvedere, nelle misure consentite, al bene spirituale della gente che, ad onde incalzanti, si muove sulle strade del mondo”.88 82 AAS LXXX (1988) 841-930. 83 AAS LXII (1970) 193-197. 84 AAS XLIV (1952) 649-704. 85 Notificazione Esistono in Italia, in AAS XII (1920) 534-535. 86 AAS IV (1912) 526-527. 87 Archivio Generale Scalabriniano 3020/1. 88 C.

Statements hailing the release of the Indian priest have poured in – from India’s foreign minister, Sushma Swaraj, to the president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India, Cardinal Baselios Cleemis. “I am happy to inform that Father Tom Uzhunnalil has been rescued,” tweeted Swaraj at 15.40 (IST), breaking the news to the nation. Apart from thanking the Indian government for its efforts in securing the priest’s release, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference in its statement thanked “Pope Francis, who took personal interest in Fr. Tom’s release efforts, and Bishop Paul Hinder, Vicar Apostolic of Southern Arabia, the Bishop in charge of the Middle East, and the Sultan of Oman, for their untiring efforts”. In fact, the news of Fr Uzhunnalil’s release was made public after the priest had been flown to Muscat in a military aircraft.

    BLESSED ARE THE MERCIFUL, FOR THEY WILL BE SHOWN MERCY (MATTHEW 5:7) Pastoral Letter The Holy Year of Mercy 2015-2016 Bishop Paul Hinder, OFM Cap. Apostolic Vicar of Southern Arabia BLESSED ARE THE MERCIFUL, FOR THEY WILL BE SHOWN MERCY (MATTHEW 5:7) Pastoral Letter The Holy Year of Mercy 2015-2016 Bishop Paul Hinder, OFM Cap. Apostolic Vicar of Southern Arabia Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, Peace be with you! 1. It touches our heart if someone looks at us with tender love when we are upset; our face returns to serenity and we may even smile. Pope Francis announced the extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy with a letter entitled Jesus Christ, the face of the Father’s mercy (Misericordiae Vultus = MV). Obviously he wants each one of us to meet with the merciful face of God in Jesus Christ. In him we are freed from the burden of sin and our own face returns to serenity as the fruit of God’s grace. The Holy Year of Mercy starts with the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception on 8th December 2015 and concludes with the Feast of Christ the King on 20th November 2016. Origin and Meaning of the Jubilee Year 2. The raditiont of celebrating Jubilee Years is rooted in the Old Testament where every 50th Year a kind of restart had to happen: releasing of slaves, cancellation of debts, restitution of land and property sold in times of distress (cf. Leviticus 25:8-55). In a similar way the institution of the sabbatical year (shmita) obliged the Israelites to let the land rest every seventh year in order to get back its original fertility and productive capacity after a time of rest (cf.
  • Pope Creates 13 New Cardinals, Including Washington Archbishop

    Pope Creates 13 New Cardinals, Including Washington Archbishop

    Pope creates 13 new cardinals, including Washington archbishop VATICAN CITY (CNS) — One by one 11 senior churchmen, including two U.S. citizens — Cardinals Wilton D. Gregory of Washington and Silvano M. Tomasi, a former Vatican diplomat — knelt before Pope Francis to receive their red hats, a cardinal’s ring and a scroll formally declaring their new status and assigning them a “titular” church in Rome. But with the consistory Nov. 28 occurring during the COVID-19 pandemic, Pope Francis actually created 13 new cardinals. Cardinals Jose F. Advincula of Capiz, Philippines, and Cornelius Sim, apostolic vicar of Brunei, did not attend the consistory because of COVID-19 travel restrictions; however, they are officially cardinals and will receive their birettas and rings at a later date, the Vatican said. In his homily at the prayer service, Pope Francis told the new cardinals that “the scarlet of a cardinal’s robes, which is the color of blood, can, for a worldly spirit, become the color of a secular ’eminence,'” the traditional title of respect for a cardinal. If that happens, he said, “you will no longer be a pastor close to your people. You will think of yourself only as ‘His Eminence.’ If you feel that, you are off the path.” For the cardinals, the pope said, the red must symbolize a wholehearted following of Jesus, who willingly gave his life on the cross to save humanity. The Gospel reading at the service, Mark 10:32-45, included the account of James and John asking Jesus for special honors. “Grant that in your glory we may sit one at your right and the other at your left,” they said.
