It is composed of two sections. 1st SECTION Completed Meditations 1st part Thematic meditations 9 meditations based on the theme of this year‟s pilgrimage (numbered 1 to 9) 2nd part General meditations 12 meditations based on recurring themes (numbered A to L), common to the pilgrimage every year. A certain number of quotes, as well as bibliographical notes are included at the end of each meditation, both thematic and general meditations; these are to encourage you to further study and deeper understanding. 2nd SECTION Essential reading Necessary to better understand the theme and the spirit of the pilgrimage. 3rd part Fundamental texts and references 4th part Miscellaneous information. The annual pilgrimage preparation pack has been put together with the aim to. 1. Assist the work of chapter leaders and chapter assistants, by helping your understanding and grasp of the theme. 2. Improve the quality of the meditations, so as to better touch the hearts and minds of the pilgrims. 3. Reinforce the unity of the pilgrimage by having more uniformity in the meditations. 4. Shorten the length of each meditation, at the same time increasing the number of meditations, so as to cover a larger amount of doctrine. 5. Show the contemporary relevance of the theme by presenting it in a present day context. As is our practice, we have asked priests, religious communities, chapters, organisations and lay friends of the pilgrimage to write articles on various aspects of the theme that will be covered during the three days of walking. We are very grateful to them for their time and effort that is so vital to the success of the pilgrimage. 4 Meditations have been adapted from these articles, presented in a simple and concise manner, and put in a speaking style that they may be read easily while walking. In this, particular care has been given to the logical progression of ideas, coherence and unity of the overall structure, in order to be as clear and as accessible as possible. The Preparation Pack gives you the possibility of availing of completed meditations which can be read on the road to Chartres, a possibility recommended for younger chapter leaders new to the pilgrimage. This use of the package has to be properly understood. There is no obligation for total uniformity, or worse, succumb to laziness, contenting yourself with a quick read of the package. This would be of no benefit to the sanctification of your pilgrims. Quite the opposite, the package is to help you in your individual preparation, by making the theme for 2020 more accessible and understandable. On a practical level, you are asked to do a great deal of personal study and work. Break the theme down into parts, using the completed meditations as a guide. You will be helped by reading the quotes and the biographical notes. Among them please pay attention to the

  • 1 Ad Gentes, Evangelii Nuntiandi, Redemptoris Missio and Dialogue
    CHURCH TEACHING ON MISSION: Ad Gentes, Evangelii Nuntiandi, Redemptoris Missio and Dialogue and Proclamation Stephen Bevans, SVD Introduction This paper will summarize the church’s official teaching in the Roman Magisterium on the theology and conduct of its evangelizing mission. Rather than summarize each document, however, which would be quite tedious and repetitious, I will rather present the several aspects of each document that present new aspects to the Magisterium’s teaching on mission. The original request for this paper suggested that I look only at Evangelii Nuntiandi (EN) and Redemptoris Missio (RM). It seems to me, however, that a more rounded picture of contemporary church teaching on mission needs to start with Vatican II’s Decree on Missionary Activity, Ad Gentes and needs also to include the document issued shortly after RM by the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples and the Pontifical Council for Dialogue, Dialogue and Proclamation (DP). This last document, issued in 1991, is now eighteen years old. Since then two other documents have been issued by the Roman Magisterium that are important for the church’s mission–Dominus Iesus in 2000 and Doctrinal Notes on Some Aspects of Evangelization in 2007,both issued by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. These, however, are more cautionary in tone and do not present any new or constructive teaching as such. I will refer to them towards the end of the paper, but only briefly. It might be helpful to read or refer to the major documents I am reflecting on here. They are all available in Latin, English, Spanish, German and Italian on the Vatican Website (vatican.va).

    57663 Federal Register Presidential Documents Vol. 85, No. 179 Tuesday, September 15, 2020 Title 3— Proclamation 10070 of September 3, 2020 The President National Days of Prayer and Remembrance, 2020 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation During these National Days of Prayer and Remembrance, we pay tribute to the nearly 3,000 precious lives lost on September 11, 2001. We solemnly honor them and pray that those who bear the burdens of unimaginable loss find comfort in knowing that God is close to the brokenhearted and that He provides abiding peace. The memories of that fateful morning still touch American hearts and remind us of our Nation’s reliance on Almighty God. When cowardly terrorists attacked our homeland, we witnessed the unthinkable as each successive plane struck the very heart of our Nation. As the Twin Towers fell and the Pentagon was hit, the peace and calm in the lives of innocent families were shattered. Our Nation watched in shock as courageous first responders faced great peril to save the lives of their fellow Americans. Onboard United Flight 93, a group of heroic individuals braced themselves to stop hijackers from hitting our Nation’s Capital. Passenger Todd Beamer told Lisa Jefferson, a call center supervisor in Chicago who stayed on the phone with him until the end, that he would ‘‘go out on faith’’ and asked her to recite the Lord’s Prayer with him over the phone, beginning: ‘‘Our Father, who art in heaven.’’ Despite immeasurable loss, we were not defeated. Our Nation’s darkest hour was pierced by candlelight, our anguish was met with prayer, and our grief was met with unity.

He was the most generous hearted of men, the 33;18 most truthful of them in speech, the most mild tempered of them and the noblest of them in lineage. Anyone who would describe him would say I never saw before or after him the like of him." Muhammad, described by a contemporary. 01:02:25 KAREN ARMSTRONG Muhammad was a man who faced an absolutely hopeless situation.

The extensive timelines have been broken into ten stages, drawing attention to a number of periods and reasons in the history of those eras for the unique experience of vernacular liturgy and the issues connected with it in the Western Catholic Church of our time. The role and function of International Committee of English in the Liturgy (ICEL) over its forty year existence still has a major impact on the way we worship in English. This article deals with the restructuring of ICEL which had been the centre of much controversy in recent years and now operates under different protocols.
