    Forum Internacional International Forum Forum Internazionale de Acción Católica of Catholic Action di Azione Cattolica NOTICIAS NEWSLETTER NOTIZIE 2006/1 “A year has already passed since the death of the Servant of God John Paul II. (…). He continues to be present in our minds and hearts; he continues to communcate us his love for God and his love for man; he continues to inspire in one and all, especially in the young people, the enthusiasm for good and the courage to follow Jesus and his teachings. How can we sum up the life and evangelical witness of this great Pontiff? I will attend to do so by using two words: “fidelity” and “dedication”, total fidelity to God and unreserved dedication to his mission as Pastor of the universal Church. (…) In the first anniversary of his return to the Father's House, we are invited to accept anew the spiritual legacy he has bequeathed to us; we are urged, among other things, to live by seeking tirelessly the Truth that alone brings relief to our hearts. We are encou- raged not to be afraid to follow Christ in order to bring everyone the Gospel proclama- tion which is the leaven of a more fraternal and supportive humanity. May John Paul II help us from Heaven to continue on our way, remaining docile disciples of Jesus in order to be, as he himself loved to repeat to young people, “dawn watchmen” at the beginning of this third Christian millennium”. (Benedict XVI 2nd April 2006) With these words addressed to us by the Pope, we look back on this past year as an important and significant lap in the life of the Church, of the world and also of CA and look forward to the future.
