But in his Messa- ge for the World Day of Peace (1 January, 2016), Pope Francis recalls some events that should inspire us not to lose hope in our human ability, with the help of God’s grace, to overcome evil. They encourage us to com- bat resignation and indifference. These events include: * Fifty years ago, Vatican II published Gaudium et Spes. The Pastoral Constitution most eloquently expresses the Church’s sense of solidarity with the world: the joys and hopes, the grief and anguish of the people of our time, especially of those who are poor or afflicted, are the joys and hopes, the grief and anguish of the follo- wers of Christ as well (§1). The Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace celebrated the anniversary here in Ro- me (see article in bulletin). * The United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted in September, aims at ensuring a more dignified level of living for everyone, especially the poor, by the year 2030.

  • MONTLY MESSAGE N
    MONTLY MESSAGE n. 5 — 2017 Turin - Valdocco 24 May MARY URGES US TO BEAR WITNESS TO HER PRESENCE Our devotion to Mary Help of Christians, which we emphasize particularly in this month with the novena and the feast in her honour, commits us to witness her maternal presence to all those who are far from God or who are experiencing difficult trials such as war, illness or injustice. Through prayer and example, we are called to approach the hearts of those who are far from God and his grace. Mary Help of Christians is with us and intercedes for each of us, so that with love and courage we can witness the faith, and encourage people to look to her and consecrate themselves to her Immaculate Heart. She sends us in order that, like small lights in the world guided by her maternal love, we may shine clearly with full splendour. Prayer will help us, because prayer saves us and saves the world. She exhorts us not to be afraid to tell the truth, and not to be afraid to change ourselves and the world by spreading love, making her Son known and loved, so that love may reign in our lives: a love that is living, a love that attracts and a love that gives life. It is up to us to acknowledge it, live it and spread it. The aspect that characterizes our association is the popular dimension of the Salesian charism, which finds a typical expression in popular piety. The term "popular piety" designates those diverse cultic expressions of a private or community nature which, in the context of the Christian faith, are inspired predominantly not by the Sacred Liturgy but by forms deriving from a particular nation or people or from their culture.

  • Mercy and Beyond: Pope Francis' Marian
    Mercy and Beyond: Pope Francis’ Marian “Program of Life” J O S E P H I N E L OMBARDI , P H .D. Associate Professor of Pastoral and Systematic Theology, S t . A u g u s tine’s Seminary Jesus said, “Follow me.”1 A commentary on the account of the conversion of St. Matthew, the tax collector, inspired the motto of Pope Francis: Miserando atque eligendo. These words are taken from a passage from the Venerable Bede, the histo- rian: Jesus therefore sees the tax collector, and since he sees by having mercy and by choosing, he says to him, “follow me,” suggesting mercy is rooted in clarity or spiritual sight. Recalling the original Latin of Bede’s commentary, Francis says that he likes to trans- late miserando with a gerund that doesn’t exist: “mercifying.” So mercifying and choosing describes the vision of Jesus, who gives the gift of mercy and chooses, and takes unto himself.2 Pope Francis recalls a similar moment in his own life when he experienced the tenderness of God’s mercy following a confession he made at the age of 17. Being touched by the mercy of God, he answered the call to religious life and made this motto a “program of life.”3 This is the same program encouraged by his predeces- sors, a program that calls for the rediscovery of mercy: God’s perfect, compassion- ate, generous, kind and forgiving love, whether one feels worthy of it or not. This rediscovery was launched by the private revelations of St. Faustina Kowlaska; made accessible by Pope Saint John Paul II, who at the beginning of his papacy said, “I consider this message of Divine Mercy my special task”4; reconfirmed by Pope Benedict XVI; and celebrated by Pope Francis.

  • Watykan Czterech Papieży
    KWIECIEŃ 2014 Nr 5.2/2014/59.2–e Cz. II Wydanie specjalne WATYKAN CZTERECH PAPIEŻY 13. marca, podczas drugiego dnia konklawe, zwołanego w związku z rezygnacją papieża Benedykta XVI, w piątym głosowaniu został wybrany argentyński kardynał Jorge Mario Bergoglio. Tradycyjny biały dym, obwieszczający światu wybór głowy Kościoła, pojawił się o godz. 1906. Franciszek na początku inauguracyjnego wystąpienia odmówił Modlitwę Pańską za swojego poprzednika, Benedykta XVI. Następnie poprosił wiernych o odmówienie modlitwy za swój pontyfikat, po czym udzielił pierwszego błogosławieństwa Urbi et Orbi. Wezwał też do modlitwy o ogólnoświatowe braterstwo. 23. marca, papież senior Benedykt XVI spotkał się w Castel Gandolfo z urzędującym papieżem. 2. maja 2013 r. emerytowany papież, po pobycie w Castel Gandolfo, powrócił do Watykanu. Zamieszkał tu w klasztorze Mater Ecclesiae. Papieża seniora przywitał jego następca, Franciszek oraz delegacja Watykanu z sekretarzem stanu kardynałem Bertone i dziekanem Kolegium Kardynalskiego kardynałem Sodano. 1 5. lipca 2013 r., Benedykt XVI po raz pierwszy od momentu abdykacji wziął udział razem z Franciszkiem w ceremonii zorganizowanej na terenie Watykanu. Jak podały media – podczas uroczystości odsłonięcia pomnika Michała Archanioła przed budynkiem gubernatorstwa Państwa Watykańskiego, obaj papieże siedzieli obok siebie. W trakcie krótkiego przemówienia Franciszek podziękował Benedyktowi XVI za jego przybycie. p Pierwsze miesiące pontyfikatu papieża Franciszka patrz również… Nr10/2013/37–e Cz.

    CONGREGAZIONE PER I VESCOVI SAFEGUARDING OF MINORS PART OF THE DNA OF THE CHURCH'S MISSION Rev. P. HANS ZOLLNER SJ Presiden0 Centre for Child Protectz'on Pontifical Gregorian University) Rome Throughout the whole Church, people are feeling some part of the ex­ perience that those who have been abused describe: outrage, shame, deep SE VITO I DELLA GIOIA sadness, conflicting feelings, an urgency to do something about it. Because abusive behavior has been going on and covered up for so long, it has entered into the system, and we are now observing something like an DEL VANGELO epidemic outbreak of a disease.

Priests used other people's lives Atti del corso annuale di formazione for their own purposes and needs, and the hierarchy was to some extent cov- per i nuovi Vescovi ering it up. It may be simplistic, but I think it is the correct perception, that what we do in terms of safeguarding measures, cleaning up and investigating, we don't do it with a fullycommitted heart and with full conviction; we hesitate to re­ ally get into the mess and admit the scale of its impact. We try to do it as if it were an add-on. We turn it on when we think we need it, switch it off when we don't. It's in the Church's DNA, it's inbuilt, but we don't use it; that's what people perceive. While it is true that for years many people in the Church have committed themselves to helping with healing and justice for victims, there is still the im­ pression that we are working primarily out of a sense of obligation, because the law and the public require certain measures.
