    The Holy See LETTER OF POPE JOHN PAUL II TO CARD. TOMKO ON THE OCCASION OF THE SEVENTH CENTENARY OF GIOVANNI MONTECORVINO'S ARRIVAL IN BEIJINGTo my dear Brother Cardinal JOZEF TOMKO Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of PeoplesI am very pleased that you will preside at special ceremonies in Taiwan to commemorate the singular missionary achievement of Giovanni da Montecorvino, first evangelizer among the Chinese people and first Archbishop of Khambaliq, the present-day Beijing. In fact, seven centuries have passed since the great Franciscan missionary arrived in Khambaliq, after a journey which lasted five years, carrying with him a letter of Pope Nicholas IV to the ruler of the vast territories of the Far East. From his own letters and from the writings of contemporaries we know that his apostolate in China produced abundant fruits, to the point that Pope Clement V in 1307 raised him to the rank of Archbishop and granted him extended faculties to establish and organize the Church in that distant region. His ordination took place in 1310 in the presence of the Khan, when the Bishops sent to consecrate him finally arrived in that Capital.By the time Giovanni da Montecorvino died in 1328, his thirty-four years of wise and untiring missionary activity in Khambaliq had given rise to a numerous faith-filled Christian community and a wide network of churches, convents, schools and other institutions.The celebration of the seventh centenary of Giovanni da Montecorvino' s arrival in Beijing offers me the occasion to direct my thoughts to the present Chinese Catholic community, which is the continuation and growth of that first plantatio Ecclesiae on Chinese soil.I am indeed happy to reaffirm my deep affection and esteem in our Lord Jesus Christ to all the Catholic sons and daughters of the great and illustrious Chinese family.

  • Mission Society of the Mother of God of Boronyavo the Byzantine
    Mission Society of the Mother of God of Boronyavo Christmas 2014 The Byzantine Catholic Church in Ukraine Twenty Five Years! This Eparchy of Mukachevo* celebrated the 25th anniversary of its deliverance from the catacombs with services across the Transcarpathian Oblast. The main event was held on June 6 at the seminary outside Uzhhorod, with the relics of Blessed Theodore Romzha brought down from the cathedral. The Holy Father appointed Cardinal Jozef Tomko, former Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, as his Special Envoy to attend the celebrations and also sent the Apostolic Nuncio to Ukraine, Archbishop Thomas Gullickson. Cardinal Tomko delivered a stirring homily entitled “God gave us freedom, that we use it well,” recounting the hero- ism of young Bishop Romzha, only 33 years old and cut off from the rest of the world by the new Soviet border. Then he went on to challenge the vast crowd to use long hoped-for freedom accord- ing to the Ten Commandments, and to daily ask God: teach us to walk along the narrow and diffi- cult road that we are not stuck. Jesus also gave us the commandment to love one another and promised us his presence and assistance: “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and We will come to him and make our home with him.” (John 14.23). The challenge of leading a Christian life is the same around the world! * Ukraine was a former Soviet republic and reached its current borders in 1945, with the an- nexation of Subcarpathian Rus’, now the Transcarpathian Oblast, and the homeland of the Epar- chy of Mukachevo.

  • Cardinal: Eucharistic Congress Helps Catholics Examine Life's Purpose
    Cardinal: Eucharistic congress helps Catholics examine life’s purpose QUEBEC CITY – When people pause and question the purpose of their lives, they “yearn for a spiritual answer,” said Slovakian Cardinal Jozef Tomko at the opening Mass of the 49th International Eucharistic Congress. “So many people are moving here and there – 6.5 billion people busy working to improve their living conditions,” said Cardinal Tomko, Pope Benedict XVI’s representative to the congress. Why are “we plunged on this road,” he asked the crowd of more than 10,000 cardinals, bishops, priests, nuns and laypeople from around the world gathered for the June 15 Mass in Quebec City’s hockey arena. A eucharistic congress “allows us to encounter” these questions and “examine the meaning of our life and death,” said the cardinal. “What does it mean to be the gift of God” and what is the Eucharist, he asked, referring to the theme of the June 16-21 congress, “The Eucharist, Gift of God for the Life of the World.” Jesus is the gift of God, he “is the food that feeds us and fulfills us and allows us life in eternity,” said Cardinal Tomko. “The Eucharist is a person, not an object, not a dead gift. Maybe we should ask not what is the Eucharist, but who is the Eucharist?” The answer to this question, Cardinal Tomko said, is Jesus in the sacramental form of bread and wine “to indicate he wanted to become our food and sustain our life.” The cardinal also said Jesus’ words at the Last Supper, “Do this in memory of me,” are not only a memorial but a command to do what he has done and to use those same words at Mass.

Hittinger "Lessons in Hope: My Unexpected Life with St. John Paul II", George Weigel, New York 2017 : [recenzja] Philosophy and Canon Law 3, 271-274 2017 Philosophy and Canon Law vol. 3 (2017), pp. 271–274 George Weigel, Lessons in Hope: My Unexpected Life with St. John Paul II, 257 pp. New York, USA, Basic Books, 2017 George Weigel is widely known as the author of Witness to Hope: The Biography of Pope John Paul II (1999) and The End and the Beginning: Pope John Paul II—The Victory of Freedom, the Last Years, the Legacy (2010). This new book provides an insight into how these books came to be researched and written, and how and why this American writer was selected by Pope John Paul II to write a biography by attempting to understand him from within. The book opens with an account of a dinner at the Vatican in December 1995 when Pope John Paul II asked George Weigel to write his biography. Weigel looks back from that din- ner to ponder how providence prepared him to take on such a monumental task. And of course he unfolds the story from that evening until his publication of two long biographies of John Paul II. He took many trips to Rome and through- out Poland to meet with the Holy Father and to meet and to interview many of those who knew him and worked with him in Poland. Through seventy short to medium size chapters Weigel shares many stories about the Pope and he reveals much about his life and work in Poland and helps the reader understand vari- ous Vatican personalities and the dynamics of the Vatican operations.
