Pope at audience: God's unconditional love gives hope
14/06/2017 13:05
(Vatican Radio)
Pope Francis on Wednesday continued his reflections on Christian hope, as he greeted thousands of pilgrims and visitors gathered in St Peter’s Square and in the Paul VI audience hall for his weekly general audience
.
Pope Francis began his reflection by noting that none of us can live without love. Yet many people today, he went on, are anguished or empty inside because they don’t believe they are beautiful or important enough to be loved by others.
Imagine a world where everyone is seeking attention and no-one is prepared to give love in a gratuitous way, he said. Behind so much narcissistic behaviour and incomprehensible actions we discover feelings of solitude and abandonment.

The 20th meeting of the Council of Cardinals concluded on Wednesday in the Vatican.
A briefing by Greg Burke, Director of the Holy See Press Office, said the so-called C9 members met with the Pope for three days. The next such meeting is scheduled to take place in September.
The Council is studying the plans for reforming the Apostolic Constitution “Pastor Bonus” on the Roman Curia
.
According to Burke amongst the topics under discussion were new ways in which the Roman Curia can better serve the local Churches, further decentralization of Roman Dicasteries, the status of unmarried and widowed deacons and internal issues regarding various Dicasteries of the Curia.
Cardinal George Pell reportedly provided an update on the work of the Secretariat for the Economy, of which he is the President, while the prefect of the Secretariat for Communications, Monsignor Dario Edoardo Viganò presented a report on the state of the reform of the Vatican’s communication system as well as a presentation of the new projects involving Vatican media in accordance with Pope Francis’ call to push forward with courage in order to embrace the challenges of digital and technological evolution in a rapidly changing world.

Pope at Mass: God’s power saves us from weakness and sins
16/06/2017 14:06
(Vatican Radio)
In order to be saved and healed by God we must recognize that are weak, vulnerable and sinful like earthen vessels, said Pope Francis on Friday. And this will lead us to happiness, he said in his homily at the morning Mass in the Casa Santa Marta chapel in the Vatican
. He was reflecting on the Second Letter to the Corinthians, where St. Paul speaking about the mystery of Christ, says we have this treasure of Christ in our fragility and vulnerability because we are vessels made of clay.
Not being shameful is hypocrisy
"All of us are vulnerable, fragile, weak, and we need to be healed,” the Pope said. But recognizing our vulnerability is one of the most difficult things of life. At times, we try to cover this vulnerability with cosmetics in order to disguise it, pretending it does not exist. And disguises are always shameful, the Pope said. “They are hypocrisy."

Pope Francis says farewell to director of Rome's Anglican Centre
16/06/2017 11:00
(Vatican Radio)
Pope Francis met on Friday with the outgoing representative of the Archbishop of Canterbury and director of Rome’s Anglican Centre, Archbishop David Moxon, who returns to his native New Zealand this week

Pope Angelus: Jesus food of eternal life
18/06/2017 13:03
(Vatican Radio)
In a sunny St Peter’s Square on Sunday Pope Francis recalled the feast of the Body and Blood of Christ or Corpus Christi
.
Following the Angelus prayer and taking his cue from the Gospel of St John, the Holy Father reminded the pilgrims and tourists present that Jesus states that he is “the living bread which has descended from heaven.
The Pope explained that the Father has sent him into the world as the food of eternal life, and for this reason he will sacrifice himself on the Cross, donating his body and shedding his blood.
The Pope also reminded the faithful that he would celebrate Mass in the Roman Basilica of St John Lateran on Sunday evening followed by a procession with the Blessed Sacrament to the Basilica of Saint Mary Major.

Pope celebrates Mass for Solemnity of Corpus Christi
18/06/2017 19:05
(Vatican Radio)
Pope Francis on Sunday celebrated Mass at the Roman Basilica of St John Lateran which was to be followed by a procession to the Basilica of St Mary Major to mark the Solemnity of Corpus Christi
.
In his homily for the feast of Corpus Christi, Pope Francis chose to reflect on one word, “Memory”. The Pope said that “remembering all that the Lord has done for us is the foundation of our own personal history of salvation.”
Memory, the Holy Father went on to say is important, “because it allows us to dwell in love, to be mind-ful, “never forgetting who it is who loves us and whom we are called to love in return.”
This Solemnity, Pope Francis underlined, reminds us that in our fragmented lives, the Lord comes to meet us with a loving “fragility”, which is the Eucharist.

World Refugee Day: an opportunity to grow together
19/06/2017 18:53
(Vatican Radio) At a time in history in which an unprecedented 65,5 million people around the world have been forced from home, we are witnessing the highest levels of displacement on record.
Among them are nearly 22,5 million refugees, over half of which are under the age of 18.
World Refugee Day, held each year on June 20th
, commemorates the strength, courage and perseverance of millions of men, women and children who are on the move, in search of protection and opportunity
.
Pope Francis has done so again and again, both in words and in action, as he has appealed to governments and policy-makers to heed the Christian message of welcome as well as dedicating many personal moments of encounter and prayer to refugees and forced migrants in different situations.

Full Text of Dubia Cardinals’ Letter Asking Pope for an Audience
The April 25 missive was hand-delivered to the Pope on May 6 but has received no response.
Edward Pentin
Here below is the full text of the letter, signed by Cardinal Carlo Caffarra on behalf of the four dubia cardinals, asking Pope Francis for an audience to discuss deep concerns over the Pope’s apostolic exhortation on the family, Amoris Laetitia (The Joy of Love).
The Holy Father has yet to acknowledge the cardinals’ written request.
* Our report on the letter.
* Concerns over the developing 'doctrinal anarchy' deriving from disparate interpretations of Amoris Laetitia.

Pope Francis opens annual Diocese of Rome pastoral conference
20/06/2017 06:00
Pope Francis addresses the Rome Diocese Pastoral Conference at St. John Lateran accompanied by Cardinal Agostino Vallini (L) and Bishop Angelo De Donatis (R)
(Vatican Radio)
Pope Francis made his second visit to Rome’s Cathedral, St. John Lateran, in as many days on Monday evening to open the Diocese of Rome’s annual pastoral conference
.
Ahead of his visit, the Holy Father met with a group of refugees who have been hosted by some of the thirty-eight Roman parishes and religious communities who responded to his 2015 appeal that parishes to do their part by hosting those persons fleeing war and poverty.
Pope Francis opened Rome’s annual diocesan meeting on Monday evening with a reflection on how to accompany parents in educating their adolescent children.
Offering several “assumptions” for this aspect of pastoral care, the Bishop of Rome invited the city’s pastors to think in the Roman dialect, that is, with the faces of their flocks fixed in their minds.
“Family life and the education of adolescents in a big metropolis like this requires particular attention," he said. "The complexity of the capital does not admit of reductive syntheses, but stimulates us to think in the form of a polyhedron, in which every neighborhood finds its own echo in the diocese”.

Key figure in Vatican’s financial reform resigns without explanation
Crux Staff
June 20, 2017
ROME -
In a surprising twist to Pope Francis’s project of financial reform, the Vatican announced Tuesday that Libero Milone, an Italian financier and expert in accounting who had been hired in June 2015 with great fanfare for the new post of Auditor General, has resigned effective immediately and will have no further Vatican role
.
The terse, four-line statement issued Tuesday offers no explanation for the move, which is likely to invite suspicion about what the motives for Milone’s sudden departure may have been.
“It’s noted that Doctor Libero Milone yesterday presented his resignation to the Holy Father from the position of Auditor General,” the statement says. “The Holy Father accepted it. Thus concludes, by common agreement, the relationship of collaboration with the Holy See.
“While it wishes Doctor Milone every good for his future activity, the Holy See informs that, as soon as possible, a process will be activated to nominate a new director for the Office of Auditor General.”

Pope Francis at General Audience: ‘Saints are sign of Christian hope’
21/06/2017 12:02
(Vatican Radio)
We are called to be saints, just like the multitude of witnesses before us, so as to be heralds of hope for the world. That was Pope Francis’ message during the catechesis portion of his Wednesday General Audience, in which he reflected on the Saints as witnesses and companions of Hope
.
Pope Francis at his General Audience in a sunny St. Peter’s Square said the Saints who have gone before us show us the path of Christian hope and teach us to follow in their footsteps.
Taking the Letter to the Hebrews (11:40-12:12a) as his guide, the Pope said the saints are “those who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith”.
He spoke about three important moments in the life of the Church in which the “great cloud of witnesses” is evoked: in the liturgies of Baptism, Matrimony, and Holy Orders.

Pope donates funds to support aid projects in South Sudan
21/06/2017 16:55
(Vatican Radio)
Pope Francis has pledged to donate about half a million dollars to support Church-run education, healthcare and agricultural projects in South Sudan
.
At a press conference in the Vatican on Wednesday, Cardinal Peter Turkson, head of the office for Integral Human Development, led a panel of speakers giving details of those humanitarian projects, run by Caritas and by missionaries from different religious institutes. The cardinal also outlined numerous initiatives that the Holy See has taken to stop the war, which flared across the country in 2013.
Pope Francis may have postponed a planned visit to war-torn South Sudan this year, but he’s clearly more determined than ever to raise awareness about the need to support those suffering from conflict and starvation.
