[00515-01.01] MESSAGGIO DEL SANTO PADRE AL PRESIDENTE DELLA PONTIFICIA COMMISSIONE BIBLICA IN OCCASIONE DELL’ASSEMBLEA PLENARIA ANNUALE Pubblichiamo di seguito il Messaggio che il Santo Padre Benedetto XVI ha inviato al Presidente della Pontificia Commissione Biblica, l’Em.mo Card. William Levada, in occasione dell’annuale Assemblea Plenaria che si è svolta presso la Domus Sanctae Marthae (Città del Vaticano) dal 16 al 20 aprile: ● MESSAGGIO DEL SANTO PADRE Al Venerato Fratello Bollettino N. 0222 - 20.04.2012 3 Cardinale William Levada Presidente della Pontificia Commissione Biblica Mi è grato inviare a Lei, Venerato Fratello, al Cardinale Prosper Grech, O.S.A., al Segretario e a tutti i Membri della Pontificia Commissione Biblica il mio cordiale saluto in occasione dell’annuale Assemblea Plenaria che si è tenuta per trattare l’importante tema «Ispirazione e Verità della Bibbia». Come sappiamo tale tematica è fondamentale per una corretta ermeneutica del messaggio biblico. Proprio l’ispirazione come azione di Dio fa sì che nelle parole umane si esprima la Parola di Dio. Di conseguenza, il tema dell’ispirazione è decisivo per l’adeguato accostamento alle Sacre Scritture. Infatti, un’interpretazione dei sacri testi che trascura o dimentica la loro ispirazione non tiene conto della loro più importante e preziosa caratteristica, ossia della loro provenienza da Dio. Nella mia Esortazione apostolica postsinodale Verbum Domini, ho ricordato inoltre che «i Padri sinodali hanno messo in evidenza come al tema dell’ispirazione sia connesso anche il tema della verità delle Scritture. Per questo, un approfondimento della dinamica dell’ispirazione porterà indubbiamente anche ad una maggior comprensione della verità contenuta nei libri sacri» (n. 19). Per il carisma dell’ispirazione i libri della Sacra Scrittura hanno una forza di appello diretto e concreto. Ma la Parola di Dio non resta confinata nello scritto. Se, infatti, l’atto della Rivelazione si è concluso con la morte dell’ultimo Apostolo, la Parola rivelata ha continuato ad essere annunciata e interpretata dalla viva Tradizione della Chiesa. Per questa ragione la Parola di Dio fissata nei testi sacri non è un deposito inerte all’interno della Chiesa ma diventa regola suprema della sua fede e potenza di vita. La Tradizione che trae origine dagli Apostoli progredisce con l’assistenza dello Spirito Santo e cresce con la riflessione e lo studio dei credenti, con l’esperienza personale di vita spirituale e la predicazione dei Vescovi (cfr Dei Verbum, 8. 21). Nello studiare il tema «Ispirazione e Verità della Bibbia», la Pontificia Commissione Biblica è chiamata ad offrire il suo specifico e qualificato contributo a questo necessario approfondimento. È infatti essenziale e fondamentale per la vita e la missione della Chiesa che i testi sacri vengano interpretati secondo la loro natura: l’Ispirazione e la Verità sono caratteristiche costitutive di questa natura. Perciò il vostro impegno avrà una vera utilità per la vita e la missione della Chiesa. Con l’augurio a ciascuno di voi di un fruttuoso proseguimento dei vostri lavori, vorrei infine esprimere il mio vivo apprezzamento per l’attività svolta dalla Commissione Biblica, impegnata a promuovere la conoscenza, lo studio e l’accoglienza della Parola di Dio nel mondo. Con tali sentimenti affido ciascuno di voi alla materna protezione della Vergine Maria, che con tutta la Chiesa invochiamo quale Sedes Sapientiae, e di cuore imparto a Lei, Venerato Fratello, e a tutti i Membri della Pontificia Commissione Biblica una speciale Benedizione Apostolica. Dal Vaticano, 18 Aprile 2012 BENEDICTUS PP. XVI [00518-01.01] [Testo originale: Italiano] VII INCONTRO MONDIALE DELLE FAMIGLIE (MILANO, 30 MAGGIO - 3 GIUGNO 2012) - AVVISO AI GIORNALISTI Fino al 1° maggio è possibile accreditarsi al VII Incontro mondiale delle famiglie, che si terrà a Milano dal 30 maggio al 3 giugno 2012.

We flew through summer, now we are almost out of Fall. Where did the time go? We are in the season for being thankful for what we have, thankful for our health, thankful for our family and friends.

Responding to questions on May 14 at a meeting with 1,700 priests and lay leaders of the Diocese of Rome gathered at the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the pope said he realized the negative social implications of technology a few days earlier when Pope Francis he was greeting teens participating in a program of the international network of “Scholas Occurrentes.” “They were all there waiting for me,” he said. “When I arrived, they made noise, as young people do. I went to greet them and only a few gave their hand. The majority were with their cellphones [saying], ‘Photo, photo, photo. Selfie!’ “I saw that this is their reality, that is the real world, not human contact. And this is serious. They are ‘virtualized’ youths,” the pope said. “The world of virtual communication is a good thing, but when it becomes alienating, it makes you forget to shake hands.” Archbishop Angelo De Donatis, vicar of the Diocese of Rome, had asked Pope Francis about his impressions of the meeting in March in preparation for the upcoming meeting of the Synod of Bishops on “young people, faith and Catechumen Hannah Bach, vocational discernment,” and how the 18, is guided into the Church should respond to the needs of baptismal font at St.
