were preparing for minor orders and Rev. Fr. Mathew Kochuveettil helped them to think over their
priestly call. After the Minor Orders at Kristuraja Cathedral Faridabad on 16th May they moved for
Parish Experience to different parishes of our diocese. On 19th May 2015 they gathered together in the

Pastoral Care of Migrants
T
he 7th World Congress for the Pastoral Care of Migrants took place in Rome from 17th to 21stNovember
2014 at the Pontifical Urbaniana University. The theme of the Congress was “Cooperation and
Development in the Pastoral Care of Migrantions”. The Congress gathered together 284 participants
from all five continents and from more than 90 countries from around the world. We give hereunder the
conclusions and recommendations of the Final Document of this Congress.
Fr. John Mylamvelil, Chief Editor
4. Benefits that can come from migrants are
far greater than solely the economic factors,
and are gained not only by the receiving
countries, but by the countries of origin, and
in some cases for the communities of transit,
as well.
5. The transit of migrants carries particular
relevance. It is more than just the simple
relationship between the departure and arrival
of migrants, but a source of some of the
difficulties that migrants experience.
6. There is an unfortunate tendency for Church
communities and organizations to work in
isolation, creating a void that may leave the
migrant vulnerable to the violation of their
rights, and being a source of difficulties in
the creation of adequate pastoral programs
within the Church of arrival (including the
proclamation of the Gospel, the formation to
the reception of the Sacraments, evangelization,
and the interiorization of Christian values
and concepts).
7.The personal faith and popular piety
of migrants is an expression of their personal
experience of the Christian faith, and is a
link between the Church of departure and
that of arrival. Integration implies neither
artificial separation nor assimilation, but
rather gives the opportunity to identify
the migrant's cultural heritage, and to
recognize their gifts and talents for the common
good of the entire Church community.
The goal of the 7th World Congress for the Pastoral
Care of Migrants was to take into consideration
the phenomenon of migration, with a particular
consideration concerning economic migrants.
This notwithstanding, the participants wish to
acknowledge the existence of mixed migration
flows, which can also consist of refugees, internally
displaced persons, climate migration, etc., as well
as the difficulty that exists, at times, in clearly
distinguishing between these movements.
However, in the light of the goal of the
Event, the participants of the 7th World Congress
affirm that:
1. Migration continues to be a sign of the times, in
which the centrality of the human pe~son and
human dignity are of ever greater importance.
2. Development signifies a dynamic process, which
implies growth, advancement,empowerment
and progress, and whose ultimate goal is to
increase human capabilities, to enlarge the
scope of human choices, and to create a safe
and secure environment in which all inhabitants
of a country may live and work and worship,
with dignity and equality in both civil and
ecclesial contexts.
3. The human dignity of each and every migrant is
paramount. Religious, ethnic,social or cultural
variables, citizenship or lack of it, do not change
this fact that gives each individual an inherent
and immeasurable worth and dignity, in
which every human life is and must be
considered sacred.

8. Modern migration policies tend to emphasize
the individual dimension of a person's decision
to migrate, concentrating on the work aspect of
migration rather than taking into consideration
the migrant family. In fact, national migration
policy is often one of the causes behind family
separation and the breakdown of familial
relationships that can ensue.
9. The migrant family often finds itself between
the experience of uprooting from the place of
origin on the one hand and the lack of integration
in the new society on the other, which creates
a sort of tension that has a destructive force
on both individual members and on the entire
family.
10.The issue of family separation, caused by
imperfect migration systems, is of utmost
concern/ importance for the pastoral care of
migrants, particularly regarding those countries
that have a large diaspora.
11. The pastoral care of migrants must take into
consideration the distinction between first,
second and third generations, each having its
own specific characteristics and difficulties.
12.Women migrants can be recognized today
not only as dependents, or part of the family
reunification process, but as independent
agents, family supporters and/ or strategists.
Migration may be an important instrument/
opportunity of empowerment for women.
13. Young migrants require a social environment
that permits and fosters their physical, cultural,
spiritual and moral development.
14. There are three areas in which young migrants
most vividly build bridges between societies as
they engage with the people they live and work
alongside: through their relationships with
others, their education, and their working life.
15. Sects continue to grow as a particular challenge
within the pastoral care of migrants, particularly
with regard to younger generations.
SANTH ME
Messenger
16. In the broader context of migration, in which
a vast majority of modern-day migrants are
either not Catholic or not Christian, ecumenical
cooperation and inter-religious dialogue are of
utmost importance.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The participants, in view of the conclusions drawn
from the 7th World Congress, wish to declare
their commitment to put into action the following
recommendations:
1. The particular Church communities should
work together to create a common and
humane approach to issues and difficulties
that migration carries with it (which can
include working with Bishops' .Conferences,
governments,
non-governmental
organizations, and faith-based organizations),
to protect the rights of migrants and to
prevent human trafficking, exploitation and
other similar crimes. Insisting on working
within social networks (which begins with the
simple exchange of contact details, such as
email addresses, telephone numbers, Skype
details and addresses of pastoral agents for
migrants) can strengthen a more widespread
pastoral care.
2. Those charged with the mission of teaching
within the Church will make an effort to
broaden their knowledge and understanding
of the Magisterium of the Church regarding
migration which, in turn, has the capacity of
turning theory into practice at the local level.
3. The pastors of the Church must speak with
one voice regarding migration. The Church is
a prophetic voice for the proper integration of
migrants in receiving communities, keeping in
mind the universality of the ecclesial Catholic
community, which entails a pastoral approach
that' is more comprehensive and goes beyond
solely the charitable aspect.

Vatican Rolls Out First-Ever
Guidebook for Arab pilgrims
Vatican City: In a move intended to reach out to
Arab pilgrims who make their way to the Eternal
City, the Vatican has for the first time published a
guidebook entirely in the Arabic language.
At the May 20 presentation of the book, Cardinal
Leonardo Sandri said that “We cannot forget the
sufferings and the challenges which Christians and
more generally the populations of the Middle East
are facing.”
He expressed his confidence that the new book
will “help to keep hope alive” for Arab pilgrims who
come to Rome, particularly during the upcoming
Jubilee for Mercy declared by Pope Francis in March.
The cardinal, prefect of the Congregation
for Eastern Churches, was present alongside the
book’s author Edmond Farhat, who is the current
archbishop of Byblos, Lebanon.
SANTH ME

Held at the Patristic Augustinian Institute
in Rome, the event also gathered Lebanon’s
Ambassador to the Holy See, Georges El-Khoury;
Egypt’s Ambassador to the Holy See, Wafaa Bassim
and professor of Oriental Rights Onorato Bucci,
who teaches at the Pontifical Lateran University and
the University of Molise.
Titled “The Vatican, its meaning and its
monuments,” the guidebook was released by the
Vatican Publishing House, which is directed by
Fr. Giuseppe Costa. Fr. Costa gave the welcoming
address for the event.
Designed to serve as a guide for the thousands
of Arab tourists who visit Vatican City, the book
elaborates on the art and monuments within St.
Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museums.
Apart from heading the diocese of Bylos,
Archbishop Farhat has also served as the Vatican’s
nuncio to Austria, Turkmenistan, Slovenia, Turkey
and Macedonia. His diplomatic service also took
him to Libya, Tunisia and Algeria.
Cardinal Sandri said that given the archbishop’s
ethnic and diplomatic background, his book is
“ready to grasp a challenge of the ecclesial world
and contemporary society” at a time when Christian
life in Arab countries is threatened.
He noted that the Vatican’s attention to the Arab
world has increased in recent years. He pointed out
how after Benedict XVI greeted Arab pilgrims in his
first general audience after returning from Lebanon
in 2012, there has been a summary of the catechesis
in the Arabic language every week since.
Other initiatives include the launching of the
Pope’s twitter account, @Pontifex, in Arabic as well
as the establishment of the Vatican’s Arabic website,
which celebrated one year of inauguration May 24.
The cardinal said that the new guidebook is both
“beautiful and important” since it is written by someone
who knows “the contradictions of today's world (and)
never tires of publicly declaring the persecution and
the martyrdom of so many of our brothers.”

Extraordinary Holy Year
A Jubilee of Mercy
The Jubilee will begin with the opening of the
Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica on the Solemnity
of the Immaculate Conception, December 8, 2015,
and it will end on the great Feast of Christ the King,
November 20, 2016. The opening also coincides
with the 50th anniversary of the closing of the
Second Vatican Council (December 8, 1965).
Jubilee years are important to the faithful as
they allow them to receive special indulgences, the
highest form of forgiveness. In the past worshippers
travelled from all over the world to participate in
one of a limited number of events where indulgences
were granted.
Indulgences grant a full pardon from the
temporal punishment for sins that have already been
forgiven in confession. That translates as a shorter
penance for the faithful to atone or a shorter time
his/her soul will have to spend in purgatory.
Holy Years were initially to be held once every
century, but the term was later shortened to 25
years. Jubilees falling on those years are known as
"ordinary". But the Pope can call an extraordinary
Holy Year for some special occasion.
There have been 26 Holy Years in the history
of the Roman Catholic Church. The first Jubilee
was called by Pope Boniface VIII in 1300. The last
ordinary Jubilee, known as the "Great Jubilee" was
held under St. John Paul II in 2000 to mark the start
of the third millennium, while the last pope to call
an extraordinary Holy Year was Pius XI in 1933.
Announcing the new Jubilee, Pope Francis
said his intention was to keep the church's doors
open not to exclude anyone from God's mercy.
The extraordinary Jubilee Year will help the
Church focus on its main priorities: forgiveness
and mercy. "Dear brothers and sisters, I have
often thought about how the Church could make
its mission of being a witness of mercy clearer,"
Francis said. "It is a journey that begins with
spiritual conversion, thus I have decided to call an
extraordinary Jubilee focused on God's mercy."
… "The bigger the sin, the greater must be the
love that the church shows to those who convert,"
he said.
Pope entrusted the organisation of this Jubilee
to the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the
New Evangelisation, so that it may bring it to life as
a new leg of the Church’s journey on its mission to
bring the Gospel of mercy to every person.
“Even today the Lord has to be born with the
fall of the gods, with the pain and martyrdom of
witnesses against the (false) divinities of today”
which include “anonymous capital which enslaves
men (and) violence perpetuated in the name of God,”
he said, quoting Benedict XVI’s speech on the first
day of the October 2010 Synod for the Middle East.
However, Cardinal Sandri stressed that it is the
faith of simple people which constitutes the true
foundation, wisdom and strength of the Church.
The new book, which has been “written with
faith,” will serve as a great support for the faith
of the simple ones who come to the heart of the
Church, he said.
P
ope Francis announced an extraordinary holy
year, a Jubilee of Mercy. He broke the news
during a penitential celebration in St. Peter’s
Basilica on the evening of March 13, the second
anniversary of his election as bishop of Rome.

WHAT IS A HOLY YEAR?
I
n the Catholic tradition, a Holy Year, or Jubilee is
a great religious event. It is a year of forgiveness
of sins and also the punishment due to sin. It is a year
of reconciliation between adversaries, of conversion
and receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation,
and consequently of solidarity, hope, justice,
commitment to serve God with joy and in peace
with our brothers and sisters. A Jubilee year is above
all the year of Christ, who brings life and grace to
humanity.
The origin of the Christian Jubilee goes back to
Bible times. The Law of Moses prescribed a special
year for the Jewish people (Book of Leviticus 25,
10-14).The trumpet with which this particular year
was announced was a goat's horn called Yobel in
Hebrew, and the origin of the word jubilee. In the
New Testament, Jesus presents himself as the One
who brings the old Jubilee to completion, because
he has come to "preach the year of the Lord's favour"
(Isaiah 61: 1-2).
The Jubilee is called Holy Year, not only
because its begins, is marked, and ends with
solemn holy acts, but also because its purpose is to
encourage holiness of life. It was actually convoked
to strengthen faith, encourage works of charity and
brotherly communion within the Church and in
society and to call Christians to be more sincere and
coherent in their faith in Christ, the only Saviour.
A Jubilee can be "ordinary" if it falls after the
set period of years, and "extraordinary" when it is
SANTH ME
Messenger
proclaimed for some outstanding event. There have
been twenty-six "ordinary" Holy Years so far. The
custom of calling "extraordinary" Jubilees began
in the 16th century and they can vary in length
from a few days to a year. There have been two
extraordinary jubilees in the 20th century: 1933
proclaimed by Pope Pius XI to mark the 1900th
anniversary of Redemption and 1983 proclaimed
by Pope John Paul II to mark 1950 years since the
Redemption carried out by Christ through his Death
and Resurrection in the year 33. In 1987 Pope John
Paul II also proclaimed a Marian year.
THE HISTORY OF THE JUBILEE
The first ordinary Jubilee was proclaimed in 1300
by Pope Boniface VII with a Bull, "Antiquorum
Habet Fida Relatio". The Pope declared that he
grants certain "great remissions and indulgence for
sins" to those who fulfill certain conditions. These
are, first, that being truly penitent they confess their
sins, and secondly, that they visit the basilicas of St.
Peter and St. Paul in Rome, at least once a day for
a specified time—in the case of the inhabitants of
the city for thirty days, in the case of strangers for
fifteen. A similar year would be held in future, every
hundred years.
While the Apostolic See was transferred to
Avignon in France (1305-1377) there were many
requests for the second Jubilee to be held earlier,
in 1350 instead of 1400. Pope Clement VI gave
-20-
May - June 2015
his consent and set a period of fifty years between
jubilees. Besides visiting the Basilicas built over
the tombs of Peter and Paul the pilgrims were also
required to visit to Saint John Lateran, the city's
Cathedral, being the first Church of the Bishop
of Rome who is the Pope. Later Pope Urban VI
decided to reduce the period to thirty three years
in memory of the earthly life of Jesus. When Pope
Urban died, however, the new Pope, Boniface IX
opened the Holy Door on Christmas Eve 1390,
but since the numbers of pilgrims were so great he
called a second Holy Year at Christmas 1400.
In 1425 Pope Martin V proclaimed the Holy Year
1425 with two novelties: a special commemorative
Jubilee Medal and the opening of a Holy Door in the
Cathedral of Saint John in the Lateran. Nicholas V
called the 1450 Holy Year and in 1470 Pope Paul II
issued a Bull to fix the Jubilee for every twenty-five
years. The next Holy Year 1475 was proclaimed by
Sixtus IV.
In 1500 Pope Alexander VI announced that the
Doors in the four major basilicas would be opened
contemporaneously, and that he himself would open
the Holy Door of Saint Peter's. The ninth Jubilee was
solemnly opened on December 24th 1524 by Pope
Clement VII. The 1550 Jubilee was proclaimed
by Paul II, but it was Pope Julius III who actually
opened it. The next Holy Years were proclaimed by
Pope Gregory XIII (1575), Clement VIII, (1600)
Urban VIII (1650), Clement X (1675), Innocent
X (1700), Benedict XIII (1725) and Benedict
XIV (1750). Clement XIV announced the Jubilee
of the Year 1775 but he died three months before
Christmas and the Holy Door was opened by the
new Pope, Pius VI. The difficult situation in which
the Church found herself during the hegemonic rule
of Napoleon prevented Pius VII from proclaiming
the Jubilee of 1800.
As St Paul's Basilica was under new
construction, having been destroyed by fire two
years earlier, Pope Leo XII substituted the visit
May - June 2015
during the Jubilee of 1825to St Paul's outside the
walls with Santa Maria in Trastevere Basilica.
Twenty five years later, the Holy Year could not be
held because of the unsettled situation in the Roman
Republic and temporary exile of Pius IX. However,
the Pope did proclaim the Holy Year 1875, although
there was no ceremony of the opening of the Door
due to Rome's occupation by the troops of King
Vittorio Emmanuele.
Pope Leo XIII called the 22nd Christian Jubilee
which opened the 20th century of the Christian era.
In the Holy Year 1925, Pius XI wished to direct the
attention of the faithful to the prodigious work of
the missions. To gain the indulgence, the people
were asked to pray (according to the intention
of the Pope) for peace among peoples. In 1950
Pius XII called the Holy Year with the following
indications: the sanctification of souls through
prayer and penance and unfailing faith in Christ
and the Church; action for peace and protection
of the Holy Places; defence of the Church against
constant attacks by her enemies; prayers for the
gift of faith for those in error, and for unbelievers;
the promotion of social justice and assistance of
the poor and needy. It was during this year that the
Pope defined the Assumption into Heaven of Mary,
the Mother of Jesus, as a dogma of the Catholic
faith. (November 1st, 1950). In 1975 Pope Paul
VI called the Jubilee with two main themes for
reflection and action: Renewal and Reconciliation.
Pope John Paul II proclaimed in 1983 the Jubilee
to mark 1950 years since the Redemption carried
out by Christ through his Death and Resurrection in
the year 33 and in 1987 he proclaimed the Marian
year. On November 10th, 1994, Pope John Paul II
promulgated an Apostolic Letter, Tertio Millennio
adveniente, on preparation for the Jubilee of the Year
2000 to be held from Christmas Eve (December 24),
1999 to Epiphany (January 6), 2001.

4. The Church can make better use of media
to enhance migrant rights. The raising of
awareness at the local parish level, the
encouragement to vote for justice and
equality, the creation of study centers and
publications has the capacity to change
the narrative on migration. Public opinion
should be properly informed regarding the
true situation of migrants not only in the
welcoming country, but also in their country
of origin.
5. As the phenomenon of irregular migration
is a cause for the exploitation of the
migrant worker and his family, the faithful
must advocate for more just and inclusive
immigration policies of the Governments,
which will assist in the migrant's search for
job opportunities and better living conditions,
safeguard the role of the family and of
women, while at the same time preventing the
exploitation and/ or trafficking of migrants
workers, and other forms of abuse.
6. The Church on all levels is a community
of hope and of action, which is expressed
through solidarity with migrant people,
through advocacy on their behalf (particularly
children and unaccompanied minors),
through the raising awareness among faithful
that leads to a practical commitment, through
efforts to address the root causes of forced
migration, and through assistance in the
provision of food, shelter, medical care, and
legal assistance to migrants, no matter what
their status.
7. The Church at the place of origin, the Church
at the place of transit, and the Church of
welcome must improve communication and
communion, and work together to create
programs of prevention organized between
the respective Bishops' Conferences.
8. The collaboration between the Church of
SANTH ME
Messenger
origin and the Church of welcome should be
intensified, particularly regarding the first
two generations of migrants. Through the
preparation of pastoral and social workers
capable of serving as bridges between the
two realities, this collaboration requires a
dialogue between the two cultures and takes
into account the specific problems of each
generation.
9. All pastoral agents in the service of migrants
should ensure that the voice of migrants is
heard which, in turn, facilitates advocating
on their behalf. The Church must ensure that
their stories are recognized and appreciated.
10.Diocesan pastoral programs and initiatives
regarding young migrants should concentrate
on their integral formation, a part of which
includes the formation to become active
collaborators between their culture of origin
and that of the country in which they now
live. Emphasis on respecting one another's
culture is necessary for a better mutual
understanding.
11.Diocesan pastoral programs may consider
working with local vocational schools to
initiate certificate programs that could
recognize and give the necessary accreditation
to young migrants, so that the contribution
of their skills and talents may, in turn, be an
opportunity to contribute to the development
of their country of origin upon their return.
12.Formational programs of priests, religious
and pastoral agents should take into account
the theological and pastoral dimensions of
migration. Formation of both clergy and laity,
therefore, requires inter-cultural formation,
knowledge, training in dialogue and the
appreciation of migrant potential, which
includes their role in the new Evangelization.
At the local level, this is expressed in the
necessity for the formation of cultural

Shroud of Turin
S
The 2015 Exposition at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist
Turin, Italy, April 19 - June 24, 2015
hroud of Turin, the burial cloth of Christ, will
be on display for 67 days from April 19-June
24, 2015. "The greatest love" is the theme of the
Exposition.
Pope Francis will visit in Turin to venerate
the Holy Shroud and to commemorate the 200th
anniversary of the birth of St. John Bosco on
Sunday, June 21.
Housed at the Cathedral of Saint John the
Baptist, the Shroud of Turin is a linen cloth bearing
the image of Jesus. It is believed by many to be
the cloth placed on Jesus of Nazareth at the time
of his burial. The Shroud has rarely been displayed
publicly more than one or two times each century.
The image on the shroud was first observed
on the evening of May 28, 1898 on a negative of
a photograph. An amateur photographer who was
allowed to photograph it while it was being exhibited
in the Turin Cathedral almost dropped and broke
the photographic plate from the shock of seeing an
image of a person on it. The image of the person
appears to be consistent with that of crucifixion.
The exposition of the Holy Shroud will dedicate
particular attention to themes of youth and physical
and spiritual suffering. It is a time to reflect and a
time of prayer.

May - June 2015
mentally challenged women run by the Sisters of
Destitute under the leadership of Rev. Fr. Renson
Thekkinezhath who offered Holy Qurbana on 3rd
May and also on 17th May. Our visit was really a
heart-touching and comforting experience for them
as they were feeling lonely and unvisited by anyone
for some time. The group offered 1000 kg rice for
the inmates and promised to offer them 300 kg rice
per month for a year. The Mathrujothis collected
30,000 rupees and handed over the money along
with other food items and other material things
to the sisters. The sisters and the inmates were so
happy and expressed their gratitude for the love and
care they received from us.
“Thanks for the past Seven Months…”
Rev. Fr. Justin Muthanikkatt has been rendering his
dedicated service to the Assumption Forane Church
for the past seven months, after a year ministry as
the parish priest of Indirapuram-Vaishali. The parish
organized a farewell program for Rev. Fr. Justin as
he was leaving for his home diocese, Mananthavadi.
Rev. Fr. Renson thanked him for his selfless service
in the parish activities. Rev. Sr. Mercy CMC and the
Kaikkaranmar of the parish remembered his pastoral
zeal and care they received from him. All the parishners
bid farewell to him and wished him all the best and
prayers for the success of his future ministry.

St. John Paul II Parish, Vaishali
CHARITY VISIT BY CATECHISM UNIT
th April, 2015 was a day of realization of
God’s abundant blessings and a day of
thanksgiving to Lord for creating us all as physically
and mentally sound human beings.
The catechism students, teachers, Rev. Sisters
and the Parish Priest were welcomed by the 22
hostellers, Rev. Sisters and the helpers of Anand
Bhavan Training Centre for the Differently Abled,
Mariam Nagar, Ghaziabad. The innocent, natural
and infectious smile and semi classical dance of
Achu, a Malayali teenager from Kottayam, the
enthralling cinematic break dance of Francis, a pass
out and now an employee of the same school and
the melodious group songs of the school choir left
everyone spell bound. Vaishali parish members with
the inmates relished the sumptuous lunch arranged
by the Rev. Sisters and sponsored by one of the
parishioners. The venue of the entire programme
19
was a park filled with swings, plants and shady trees.
All the children enjoyed playing with the inmates on
the swings, danced and sang for them.
Students from St. John Paul II Parish offered
many edible and daily use items which they had
been collecting during this entire year as offertory
offerings.
It was very difficult for both the hosts and
the guests to part each other at the end of the day.
The visit made the students of St. John Paul parish
realize how fortunate they are to be born completely
normal; lucky to live at home under the care of their
family members but still are not so confident and
don’t make use of the opportunities and abilities.
I asked God- “Give everything so that I can
enjoy life. He smiled and replied, I have given
you LIFE to enjoy everything.” Let us make the
maximum out of this wonderful gift of God.

Pope Francis’
maiden visit to the
Latin America
I
t was announced by the Holy See in April 2015
that Pope Francis would be visiting three Latin
American countries in July 2015: Ecuador from
6-8 July, Bolivia from 8-10 July and Paraguay from
10-12 July 2015. His homeland Argentine is not
included in the schedule.
The Holy Father is to address UN General
Assembly
The United Nations announced that Pope Francis
will address the UN General Assembly on the
morning of September 25 and will meet separately
with the Secretary-General and with the president
of the General Assembly, and also will participate
in a town hall gathering with UN staff. The pope’s
visit will occur during the UN’s 70th anniversary,
during which its members will make decisions about
sustainable development, climate change, and peace.
Pope calls for witnessing
Before the Marian prayer, Regina Coeli, at midday
19 April 2015 Pope Francis spoke about the meaning
of witness in the life of Christians. “A witness is one
who has seen, who recalls, and recounts”, he said.
“To see, to remember and to tell are the three verbs
that describe identity and mission. The witness is
one who has seen, but not with indifferent eyes;
May - June 2015
he has seen and allowed himself to be involved in
the event. Therefore, he also remembers, not only
because he is able to precisely reconstruct the facts,
but because these facts have spoken to him and he
has grasped their deep meaning. And so the witness
recounts, not in a cold or detached way, but as one
who has allowed himself to be questioned, and has
from that day forth changed his life”.
“The content of Christian witness is not a
theory, and ideology, or a complex system of
precepts and prohibitions”, he added, “but rather
a message of salvation, a concrete event, or rather
a Person: it is the risen Christ, the sole and living
Saviour of all”.
The Pontiff went on to emphasize that the
Christian may be a witness of the risen Christ “by
way of a path that has its foundation in Baptism
and its nourishment in the Eucharist, its seal in
Confirmation and its continual conversion in
Penance. … If, however, a Christian allows himself
to be rapt by comforts and vanity, if he becomes
deaf and blind to the question of 'resurrection' of
so many of his brothers, how will he be able to
communicate the living Jesus, with his liberating
power and infinite tenderness?”.
