Catholic Flashback Friday: a Brief History of World Youth Day Catholic Flashback Friday: A brief history of World Youth Day By Patti Murphy Dohn The logo for the 2016 WYD in Kraków was designed by Monika Rybczyńska: Read about the symbolism in her design here. —– “You are the future of the world, you are the hope of the Church, you are my hope.” —The greeting of Pope John Paul II to youth during his papal inauguration Mass on October 22, 1978 —– In less than two weeks, hundreds of thousands of young people and youth ministers from all over the world will descend upon Kraków, Poland forWorld Youth Day 2016. The Archdiocese of Baltimore will be represented among the huge crowds. A delegation of 40 young adults, led by Father Matt Buening, Catholic chaplain at Towson University, as well as seminarians Matt Himes and Tyler Kline, will be in attendance. Local teen groups from Mount de Sales Academy and St. Mary’s Church, Annapolis are traveling to Poland as well. The Catholic Review will have up-to-date coverage each day from Maureen Cromer, who will blog about her experiences in “Pilgrims in Krakow.” Why Kraków? The homeland of Pope Saint John Paul II is the perfect location for a celebration for World Youth Day (WYD) during this Jubilee Year of Mercy. This year’s theme, which was one of three Beatitude-inspired WYD themes announced by Pope Francis in 2013, is “Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.” (Mt 5:7) Tracing the roots of WYD: During the 1983-1984 Holy Year of the Redemption (which marked 1950 years after Jesus’s crucifixion, death, and resurrection), as well as the 1985 United Nation’s International Youth Year, Pope John Paul II invited young people to come to Rome to pray with him each year on Palm (Passion) Sunday. Though organizers initially expected about 60,000 to attend, crowds ranged from 250,000 in 1984 to 300,000 in 1985. These youth from many nations, who gathered with the Holy Father at the Vatican, affirmed their desire to be actively connected to Christ and their Catholic faith. The next year, in December of 1985, Pope John Paul II announced the institution of local events, which he called “World Youth Days,” to be held on the diocesan level every Palm Sunday, commencing in 1986. The Holy Father would also attend international gatherings for WYD, to be held every two or three years in different countries which he would select. Pope John Paul II reflected on these early youth events in his bookCrossing the Threshold of Hope (1994): “No one invented the World Youth Days. It was the young people themselves who created them. Those days, those encounters, then became something desired by young people throughout the world. Most of the time these Days were something of a surprise for priests, and even bishops, in that they surpassed all their expectations.” International celebrations: The first international World Youth Day was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1987. Pope John Paul II also presided over seven more before his death in 2005. They were held in the following locations: ▪ Santiago de Compostela, Spain, 1989; ▪ Częstochowa, Poland, 1991; ▪ Denver, Colorado, 1993; ▪ Manila, Philippines, 1995; ▪ Paris, France, 1997; ▪ Rome, 2000 for the Jubilee Year; ▪ Toronto, Canada, 2002; Above: Then-Archbishop of Baltimore William H. Keeler took this photo in the helicopter with Pope John Paul II, who was praying his rosary when he sees the enormous crowd gathered in Cherry Creek State Park for the WYD-Denver closing Mass on Aug. 15, 1993. He later told the youth there: “Place your intelligence, your talents, your enthusiasm, your compassion and your fortitude at the service of life.” (Photo by Archbishop W. H. Keeler) —– To the 800,000 youth gathered at the closing vigil in Toronto in 2002, which would be the last international WYD for Pope John Paul II: “When, back in 1985, I wanted to start the World Youth Days… I imagined a powerful moment in which the young people of the world could meet Christ, who is eternally young, and could learn from him how to be bearers of the Gospel to other young people. This evening, together with you, I praise God and give thanks to him for the gift bestowed on the Church through the World Youth Days. Millions of young people have taken part, and as a result have become better and more committed Christian witnesses.” —Pope John Paul II, July 28, 2002, Toronto —– Pope Benedict and Pope Francis continue the legacy of WYD: Four months after the death of Pope John Paul II in April 2, 2005, Pope Benedict XVI presided over World Youth Day in Cologne, Germany (August, 2005), followed by Sydney, Australia (2008), and Madrid, Spain (2011). Pope Benedict greets the crowds after arriving at WYD in Madrid (AP photo). —– Pope Francis, who was elected in March of 2013 after the resignation of Pope Benedict, traveled to Rio de Janeiro just four months later for WYD (July, 2013). At the closing Mass at Copacabana beach, he joyfully announced that he would meet again with youth from all over the world for WYD 2016 in Kraków, Poland, the homeland of now-Saint John Paul II. Three million people gathered on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro for the closing Mass of WYD 2013 with Pope Francis. (Photo: AP/ Felipe Dana) WYD 2016 in Kraków: According to Rome Reports, registrations for this upcoming WYD have been received from thousands of youth representing 107 countries, along with more than 10,000 priests, over 800 bishops and almost 50 cardinals. Poland, Italy, France, Spain, and the United States are the five countries with the most registrations. As Pope Francis prepares to join our young people in Kraków, organizers are expecting as many as 2 million to attend the overnight vigil and closing Mass on July 31. These young people who gather in Kraków next week are in for one of the most exhilarating spiritual experiences of their lifetime. Not only will they meet people from around the world, attend catechetical sessions and Mass each day, but they will have countless opportunities to open their hearts to hear God’s call to live a life of mercy as they experience His love in new and profound ways. Let’s keep all the youth in our prayers. God is good! —– Read more memories of World Youth Day from Patti Murphy Dohn here in: “Remembering Pope Saint John Paul II’s visit to Denver for World Youth Day 1993” Posted by Patti Murphy Dohn.

  • World Youth Day Chronology (1984-Present)
    World Youth Day Chronology (1984-Present) World Youth Day is a global celebration of faith for Catholic youth and young adults, held every year since its inception during the Jubilee of Redemption (1983 to 1984), when St. John Paul II called for an international meeting of young people on Palm Sunday 1984 in Rome and handed over the Jubilee cross (now known as the “World Youth Day Cross”) to young adult Catholics around the world. As the development of this pilgrimage took place, a trend began with the international gatherings being held in a different host country every two to three years, with local celebrations of youth and young adults (in Rome and around the world) taking place in the intervening years. The following is a chronology of these World Youth Day gatherings: 1984: The Jubilee of Redemption for Young People Rome (St. Peter’s Square): April 11-15, 1984 Theme: “A Festival of Hope: A Jubilee of Young People in Rome” Song: “Resta Qui Con Noi” (Italian) International Attendance: 300,000; U.S. Attendance: not known NOTE: Pope John Paul II entrusts the WYD Cross to young people (April 22, 1984) 1985: International Year of Young People Rome (St. Peter’s Square): Palm Sunday, March 31, 1985 Theme: “A Festival of Hope: International Year of Young People” International Attendance: 300,000; U.S. Attendance: not known NOTE: Pope John Paul II announces institution of World Youth Day (December 20, 1985) 1986: First World Youth Day Local Celebrations: Palm Sunday, March 23, 1986 Theme: “Always be prepared to make a defense to anyone who calls you to account for the hope that is in you” (1Pt 3:15) 1987: II World Youth Day (International) Buenos Aires, Argentina: April 11-12, 1987 Theme: “We ourselves have known and put our faith in God’s love towards ourselves” (1Jn 4:16) Song: “Un Nuevo Sol” (Spanish): “A New Sun” International Attendance: 1,000,000; U.S.

    The Catholic Church in International Politics Written by Alan Chong This PDF is auto-generated for reference only. As such, it may contain some conversion errors and/or missing information. For all formal use please refer to the official version on the website, as linked below. The Catholic Church in International Politics https://www.e-ir.info/2013/11/14/the-catholic-church-in-international-politics/ ALAN CHONG, NOV 14 2013 It is axiomatic in the study of International Relations (IR) to treat the emergence of the Westphalian roots of the present pattern of international society as the simultaneous beginnings of a secular system of sovereign states that acknowledge no authority higher than their own. Power rules relations between states, as realists would have one believe, by imposing fear or attaining goals by overcoming the resistance of the weak. Liberals would seek instead to recast international interaction in terms of an enlightened embrace of win-win logics and belief in the pacific compatibility of differing national interests, if reason were allowed to run its course against the logic of force. The role of the Catholic Church in international politics challenges these assumptions—the dominant pillars of ‘IR theory’—by positing itself as a universal association of governmental and nongovernmental believers in a Christian God. But this does not necessarily mean that the Catholic Church is or has been an entity of spiritual and political perfection since the beginning of the historical time signified by the prefix ‘Anno Domini’. In fact, both the Old and New Testaments that comprise the Holy Bible, the founding text of all Christianity, record a worldwide institution constantly struggling under the multiple overlapping jurisdictions of prophets, their disciples, enlightened lay persons, and even among the rival religious adherents challenging Christianity in a quest for the meaning of the Good.

  • What Is World Youth Day?
    “World Youth Day (WYD) is an opportunity for young Catholics to encounter the global Church and all its riches. More than 2/3s of the Catholics in the world now live outside of North America and Europe. WYD is a time to experience that reality.” “Many of the young men and women who have entered Holy Orders or religious communities had found the profound first call to a vocation at WYD.” “Come to WYD to be with your peers and Pope Francis!” Bishop Coyne What is World Youth Day? Starting in 1985 in Rome by Pope John Paul II, the Holy Father has invited youth and young adults to gather periodically with him across the world in an epic event known as World Youth Day. Though the title indicates a “day,” it is really a week long life changing experience of the universality and richness of the Catholic Church. This past summer, Pope Francis invited youth and young adults from across the world to the 14th World Youth Day in Krakow, Poland. The Diocese of Burlington will be teaming up with Chris Dawson and “Save Vermont” to send a group of pilgrims, along with millions of other Catholics from around the world, to the place where Saint Pope John Paul II spent much of his life. The official website for WYD Krakow has been released (http://www.krakow2016.com/en ) Please view the official World Youth Day promotional video here Who can attend? The pilgrimage is for both youth and young adults. For the purpose of this pilgrimage, we are defining youth and young adults as the following: Youth • generally between 16-18 years old • at least 16 years old by time of departure (July 22, 2016) -- exceptions may be made for those teens attending with a parent • currently enrolled in high school or is in home school • graduated from high school in the spring/summer of 2016 Young Adult • between 18-29 years old • graduated from high school on or before the spring/summer of 2016 What will happen and how will we get there? The basic itinerary for the trip is as follows: - July 19th – Travel to Poland (van from Burlington to Montreal – then a flight to Poland).

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See MESSAGE OF THE HOLY FATHER ON THE OCCASION OF THE 14TH WORLD YOUTH DAY “The Father loves you” (cf. Jn 16:27) Dear young friends! 1. In the perspective of the Jubilee which is now drawing near, 1999 is aimed at “broadening the horizons of believers so that they will see things in the perspective of Christ: in the perspective of the 'Father who is in heaven' from whom the Lord was sent and to whom he has returned” (Tertio Millennio Adveniente, 49). It is, indeed, not possible to celebrate Christ and his jubilee without turning, with him, towards God, his Father and our Father (cf. Jn 20:17). The Holy Spirit also takes us back to the Father and to Jesus. If the Spirit teaches us to say: “Jesus is Lord” (cf. 1Cor 12:3), it is to make us capable of speaking with God, calling him “Abba! Father!” (cf. Gal 4:6). I invite you also, together with the whole Church, to turn towards God the Father and to listen with gratitude and wonder to the amazing revelation of Jesus: “The Father loves you!” (cf. Jn 16:27). These are the words I entrust to you as theme for the XIV World Youth Day. Dear young people, receive the love that God first gives you (cf. 1Jn 4:19). Hold fast to this certainty, the only one that can give meaning, strength and joy to life: his love will never leave you, his covenant of peace will never be removed from you (cf. Is 54:10).

Ev- ery day of the week Rosie and his crew pick up food donated by local grocery stores, bakeries and restaurants and deliver it to the St. Vin- cent de Paul Dining Room, where it is used to feed hundreds of poor and needy in the Baton Rouge area. “It’s God’s work, it’s not mine. God said to take care of his people, to feed them, clothe them and nurse them,” Martina said. So almost every day of his life, Martina can be found in his blue pick up truck, piled high with produce, bread and anything else he can get to help the St. Vincent de Paul kitchen. “I’m trying to do my tiny part. What I’m do- ing I am doing from the bottom of my heart,” he said. When Martina is not delivering food, he is seeking donations from new sources or coor- dinating grocery pickup with his volunteers, mostly retired people willing to help. 90-year-old Rosie Martina uses his pickup truck to deliver donated grocery items to the St. Vincent de Paul Dining Room, St. Vincent de Paul Dining Room supervisor where they are used to feed the hungry of the Baton Rouge area.
