The Church in this country has been truly blessed with a remarkable array of missionaries and martyrs, as well as contemplative saints, among whom I would single out Saint Agnes of Bohemia, whose canonization just twenty years ago providentially heralded the liberation of this country from atheist oppression.These were Benedict XVIs words during the farewell ceremony in Prague, just before his departure from the Czech Republic to the Vatican.In his speech, the Pope retraced the meetings during his three day visit, underlining the importance of ecumenical dialogue so as to heal the religious divisions of the past, and emphasizing the role of the academic community in the pursuit of truth without com ...

May the love for truth and the constant thirst for God [] be an incentive for every Christian to seek without ever tiring an ever more intimate union with Christ. This was the wish Benedict XVI expressed on Wednesday, September 23rd, during the General Audience.To the faithful gathered in the Paul VI Hall, the Pope outlined the spiritual features of St. Anselm, a medieval monk of intense spiritual life, excellent teacher for the youth, a theologian with an extraordinary speculative ability, a wise politician and an intransigent defender of the libertas Ecclesiae.His life, which led him from Italy to France then to England, was characterized by a profound research of the mysteries of the Christian ...

To help priests by example, to strengthen the life of prayer, and to always keep in mind that Christ is the centre and the source of all pastoral commitment. These were the themes that Benedict XVI underlined in his speech to 120 recently-consecrated bishops who were gathered in the Vatican for a congress organized by the Congregation for Bishops and the Congregation for the Oriental Churches.Recalling the Year for Priests, the Pope noted that one of the bishops essential tasks is that of helping priests -- by example and fraternal support -- to follow their vocation faithfully.Though pastoral challenges are many, the concern for everyday problems as well as the initiatives that aim at guiding men an ...

The clamor and noise in the world today takes us away from the true encounter with the Heavenly Father who speaks through silence.Recalling Gods primacy in the life of man, Benedict XVI made a renewed appeal to sanctity during the General Audience catechesis of September 9th which he dedicated to the figure of St. Peter Damian.A monk, lover of solitude and, overall, an intrepid man of the Church who played a leading role in the reforms undertaken by the Popes of his time, St. Peter Damian perceived the universe as a parable, and in the Cross he saw the infinite love of God for his creation. It was above all in silence and prayer that he heard the divine call, abandoning any kind of worldly compromi ... [More] [Less] |

Faith is the improvement of our cognitive capacities, and the participation in the knowledge that God has of Himself and of the world. This is what Benedict XVI said on Sunday evening, September 6th, at the end of his visit to Bagnoregio, the birthplace of St. Bonaventure, known as a profound seeker and lover of wisdom.After having venerated the holy arm of this Franciscan theologian, to whom the Pope dedicated his postdoctoral thesis in 1957, Benedict XVI recalled that besides being a seeker of God, St. Bonaventure was also a musician of creation.How valuable it would be, the Pope said, to also rediscover today the beauty and value of creation in light of the divine goodness and beauty! ...

The economy needs ethics in order to function correctly, just as the implementation of ethical financing and systems of micro-credit and micro-finance indicate. In development programmes, the principle of the centrality of the human person must be preserved, while international organizations might question the actual effectiveness of their bureaucratic and administrative structure.This is one of the central messages of Benedict XVIs new encyclical Caritas in Veritate that was published July 7th and signed by the Pope in recent days.The way humanity treats the environment influences the way it treats itself, and vice versa, the text says, for the book of nature is one and indivisible whether on ...

Charity and truth are at the source of the Churchs social doctrine. This is what Cardinal Renato Raffaele Martino, President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, said during the presentation of Benedict XVIs new encyclical in the Vatican Press Office.The encyclicals title contains two fundamental terms of Benedict XVIs Magisterium: truth and charity. These two nouns have marked the teaching of his pontificate and represent the essence of Christian revelation. In their interconnectedness, the two concepts are the fundamental motivation for Christianitys historical and public dimension.Archbishop Giampaolo Crepaldi, secretary of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, noted that a ...

During the last stage of his visit to San Giovanni Rotondo, Benedict XVI met with priests, religious and young people in the church of St. Pio of Pietrelcina.Speaking of Padre Pio, the Pope recalled that the care of souls and the conversion of sinners was a yearning that consumed him until his death. He urged priests to value the Sacrament of Penance, which was very dear to Padre Pio, and to never resign themselves to seeing their confessionals deserted, nor limit themselves to noting the disaffection of the faithful for this extraordinary source of serenity and peace.Benedict XVI explained that we must discover new channels to communicate the truth of the Gospel in our time, and that the life o ...
