Pope Lauds Charity Work of Order of Malta
Grand Master Visits Pontiff on Feast of PatronVATICAN CITY, JUNE 26, 2009 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI on Thursday discussed some of the multiple works of charity being carried out by the Military Order of Malta.
The Pope was visited by the order's grand master, Fra Matthew Festing, as the order celebrated the feast of its patron, St. John the Baptist. The group also celebrated in Rome this month their general chapter.
In the 25-minute meeting, the Holy Father and the grand master discussed the order's 10-year plan established during the strategy meeting held January in Venice.
They also considered ecumenical dialogue promoted by the order with the Russian Orthodox Church, medical and social care administered in the Holy Land, and assistance to immigrants offered in collaboration with the Italian coast guard. They discussed as well the humanitarian aid offered by the order in Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Myanmar.
The leaders paused in consideration of the assistance rendered to earthquake victims in L'Aquila by the Italian branch of the order. This group, made up of some 2,000 volunteers, provided medical assistance and food for the quake victims.
Benedict XVI lauded the work of the order and urged them to stay faithful to their charism of caring for the poor and sick, giving testimony of the faith.
The Holy Father also greeted the members of the order's governing body, the majority of whom were elected for another five years during the general chapter.
After the meeting with the Pontiff, Festing went on to meet with the Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Pope's secretary of state, for some 40 minutes.
The origins of the Order of Malta, an international hospitaller and relief organization, date back to 1050, when it was founded as a fraternity at the service of St. John's Hospital in Jerusalem.
Today the order carries out humanitarian assistance and medical and social activities in 120 countries.

The Church's Most Beautiful Congregation
Saint Dicastery Turning 40VATICAN CITY, JUNE 26, 2009 (Zenit.org).- The Congregation for Saints' Causes is turning 40, and according to its former prefect, it’s the most beautiful congregation in the Church.
The saints congregation and the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments arose out of a restructuring of the Sacred Congregation for Rites, established in 1588. Paul VI split the rites dicastery after the Second Vatican Council.
Cardinal José Saraiva Martins, a Portuguese member of the Missionary Sons of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, was put in charge of the congregation in 1998. He retired last year, and now at age 77, is frequently tapped by the Pope to be the papal representative at beatification and canonization ceremonies around the globe.
Cardinal Saraiva Martins told ZENIT that his role as the leader of the saints congregation was one of the most important among the many posts he's held in the Roman Curia. "One learns to know the Church better regarding sanctity, in its most intimate and profound reality," he explained.
During his decade heading up the congregation, he studied 1,320 biographies of saints and blesseds: "an army of saints," he remarked.
"The blesseds and the saints are all different," the cardinal said. "They are all extremely interesting. They have a unique point of view, according to their lives and personalities."
Extending the map
Work at the dicastery, Cardinal Saraiva Martins acknowledged, was both exciting and demanding: "Mornings were full to the brim," he recalled. "There wasn't even time to have a coffee."
He noted that one of the fruits of such work is that the congregation has multiplied the canonization and beatification processes, such that during the pontificate of Pope John Paul II, more saints and blesseds were proclaimed than in all of history combined.
From 1588 to 1978, there were 808 blesseds and 296 saints proclaimed. John Paul II, however, approved 1,353 beatifications and 482 canonizations. During the cardinal's term, 1,108 were proclaimed blessed and 217 were canonized.
"The geography of sanctity has broadened significantly," he remarked. "Sanctity is not European; it's universal. Everyone can be a saint, whatever his ethnicity or the social position to which he belongs. Africans and Americans have been canonized. For example, the first Brazilian was canonized, Fray Galvão. Brazil is the country with the largest number of Catholics in the world and they didn't have any [canonized] saints."
Worthy of note
Some 30 people work in the saints dicastery, but many more -- medical doctors, historians, consultors -- collaborate in studying those on the path to canonization. There are 300 postulators.
"The other Vatican dicasteries do not have this multitude," the cardinal quipped.
The retired prefect confessed that one of the stories that most moved him was that of Edith Stein. "She was a woman of great thinking, but with a biblical-theological spiritual sensitivity," he noted. "An extraordinary mystic."
Others worthy of mentioning, the cardinal added, are Pope John XXIII, Padre Pio, Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, St. Josemaría Escrivá the founder of Opus Dei, and Marie Zélie Guérin and Louis Martin, the parents of St. Thérèse of Lisieux.
Regarding this last example, the cardinal explained: "This is the first time in the history of the Church that parents of a canonized daughter were beatified. And they are the second couple to be beatified together. I led this case with a great amount of enthusiasm."
Cardinal Saraiva Martins revealed that John Paul II once told him the saints congregation is the most important dicastery in the Church. "If sanctity is the only important thing in the Church," he said, "the dicastery that studies sanctity is the most beautiful."

Keeping a Light on for Pauline Pilgrims
Archpriest Comments on Closing of Year of St. PaulVATICAN CITY, JUNE 26, 2009 (Zenit.org).- Even though the Year of St. Paul will end this weekend, the archpriest of the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls says he will keep a light on and the door open for pilgrims wishing to visit the Apostle of the Gentiles.
Cardinal Andrea Cordero Lanza di Montezemolo said this today in a pressing briefing ahead of the closing of the Year of St. Paul. Benedict XVI will close the jubilee year marking the 2,000th anniversary of Paul's birth in a ceremony Saturday at the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls.
"The Pauline Year is coming to an end," the 83-year-old cardinal said, "but the great ferment of pastoral initiatives, catechesis, and cultural events is destined to continue, and to find a large following at both the local and the continental level."
"The Pauline Door [...] will remain open, and the Pauline flame lit by the Holy Father at the beginning of this year will continue to burn in the quadriporticus," he added, "reminding all the pilgrims who continue to arrive from every corner of the globe of the richness and profundity of the Word of God transmitted to us by the Apostle of the Gentiles."
Cardinal Montezemolo reported that tens of thousands of pilgrims visited the Pauline basilica in the last year, and that on May 1 of this year, the basilica saw more than 18,000 pilgrims. In recent weeks, he added, "we have certainly seen more than 10,000 a day."
Pilgrims who visited were able to see Paul's tomb, he added, which hadn't been possible before: "An opening was made in the ancient fifth century brickwork surrounding Paul's tomb under the main altar, so that pilgrims could see one side of the great marble sarcophagus, which has never been opened and which has held the mortal remains of the apostle for the last 20 centuries."
Apostle's message
The archpriest recalled that the jubilee was about more about than visiting the basilica. He noted that one of the year's main objectives was to "increase people's knowledge of, and invite them to meditate upon, the valuable message left to us by the Apostle of the Gentiles in his writings, which are often difficult and little known or poorly interpreted."
Another objective, he added, was "to create various programs in the ecumenical dimension, which means working to an ever greater degree with non-Catholic Christian communities on various initiatives of prayer, study and culture."
Reflecting on the activity of the last year, Cardinal Montezemolo noted "the celebration of the second millennium of the birth of the Apostle of the Gentiles was perceived and experienced as a fresh stimulus, a further reason to work toward evangelization."
"This was also felt in the Orthodox Churches and in many other Christian communities, and has become a shared commitment on the path to recreating unity among Christians," he added.
Recalling the highlights of the Pauline year, the cardinal noted Benedict XVI's catechetical addresses on the Apostle of the Gentiles, which were delivered at the weekly Wednesday audiences from last July 2 through Feb. 4.
Another highlight, he said, was the opening Mass of the synod of bishops on the Word of God, which took place at St. Paul Outside the Walls. He noted that at this meeting of bishops, St. Paul was the most mentioned figure, after Jesus Christ.

Bosnia's Catholics Nearly Gone
Cardinal Rodé Notes Growth of Islam, Orthodoxy in Former YugoslaviaSARAJEVO, Bosnia, JUNE 26, 2009 (Zenit.org).- The Muslim population is growing in Bosnia to such an extent that Sarajevo is a "practically Muslim city," according to Cardinal Franc Rodé.
The prefect of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life affirmed this when he spoke with Vatican Radio about his June 19-21 trip to the Balkans.
The prelate stated that Catholics were the main victims of the war and many fled the country, heading to Croatia or far-away nations like Australia, Canada and New Zealand. He explained that many had their houses burned and others fled for their lives. Many priests and religious were killed, and churches and monasteries destroyed.
"Numerically, they have diminished a lot," he said after his visit at the invitation of Cardinal Vinko Puljic. There are only 17,000 Catholics in Sarajevo, he noted, a city of 600,000. "In the Diocese of Banja Luka, before the war between 1991 and 1995, there were 150,000 Catholics; now there are only 35,000."
An opportunity
Nevertheless, Cardinal Rodé affirmed, the Catholics desire to remain there and offer ecclesial services, particularly social services and education and formation made available to everyone, Catholic, Orthodox or Muslim.
In Banja Luka, Bishop Franjo Komarica is planning a Catholic university to be distinguished by interreligious dialogue.
"The Church I found in Bosnia and Herzegovina, though numerically reduced, is a living Church, full of hope," the cardinal said. "[It] is a very motivated Church, and priestly and religious vocations are not lacking."
Meanwhile, more than 100 mosques have been built in recent years, the prelate added. "There is, in fact, the will to Islamize the region of Sarajevo," as well as the will "to make the Serbian Republic an Orthodox nation."
In Serbia, Cardinal Rodé noted, the government is constructing Orthodox churches. He observed how the leaders of that nation are today openly Orthodox.
In this context, the Vatican official expressed his hope that in Bosnia and Herzegovina, there will be "relationships of tolerance and, if it's possible, of respect and a certain affinity and collaboration."

Bishops Urge Global Help in Climate Change Bill
Note Too Little and Too Late in International AssistanceWASHINGTON, D.C., JUNE 26, 2009 (Zenit.org).- U.S. bishops are welcoming certain elements of a House of Representatives climate change bill, but cautioning that the measure does not do enough to assist the planet's poorest nations and people.
In a letter Monday from the bishops' conference and Catholic Relief Services, Bishop Howard Hubbard of Albany and Ken Hackett said they are "encouraged by provisions in the legislation that seek to protect the poor and vulnerable at home and abroad."
"However, we are very concerned about the inadequate funding for assisting the poorest people and countries on earth through international adaptation efforts," they wrote.
Bishop Hubbard is the chairman of the episcopal conference Committee on International Justice and Peace. Hackett is the president of Catholic Relief Services.
The two called the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (H.R. 2454) “groundbreaking legislation." They said it "begins a serious and overdue effort to face up to moral and environmental challenges and represents an important beginning."
The letter expressed general support for three provisions in the legislation: measure to ensure that low-income U.S. families are not disproportionately affected by a rise in energy prices the legislation could bring about; measures to help non-profit institutions become more energy efficient; and the mechanisms that are in the bill to help international populations.
However, regarding this last point, they contended that funding for international adaptation does not meet initial needs, and increases to the funding are programmed for a too distant future.
“Catholic Relief Services is already experiencing the tragic consequences of climate change in the lives of people living in poverty,” they added. The services already help more than 100 countries adapt to the impact of climate change through health, agriculture, water and emergency preparedness programs.
“As the legislative process moves forward,” Bishop Hubbard and Hackett wrote, “we look forward to working with Congress and the administration to increase funding for international adaptation assistance and taking a major step toward caring for creation and protecting ‘the least of these.’”
The bill is set for vote today in the House of Representatives. Even if it passes there, it is expected to face hurdles in the Senate.

Idente Missionaries Mark 50 Years
Institute Born in Spain Now in 25 NationsROME, JUNE 26, 2009 (Zenit.org).- The Idente Missionaries are marking their 50th anniversary with a pilgrimage to Rome, as an expression of gratitude to God and to their founder.
The Idente Missionaries of Christ the Redeemer, founded by Fernando Rielo (1923-2004), are working in 25 nations. Their pilgrimage got under way Thursday.
Missionary Verónica Altamirano told ZENIT that the pilgrimage is a sign "of the gratitude we feel toward God and toward our father founder, who guided the work that the Heavenly Father entrusted him with such love."
She said the meeting will be a "particularly important moment to recall together these 50 years lived in the footsteps of Christ, to speak of the current reality, and to dream together about the next 50 years."
The Idente Missionaries were founded in Spain; Bishop Domingo Pérez Cáceres welcomed their first community on June 29, 1959. The institute is made up of men and women, laypeople and clergy, celibates and married people. It was recognized canonically in Madrid in 1994, and 10 years later by the Holy See.
The Idente Missionaries on pilgrimage in Rome are today enjoying a retreat. They will participate in the Mass celebrated by Benedict XVI on Monday, feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, and they are scheduled to participate in the general audience on July 1.

Gay Rights Hinder UK Adoption Agency
Westminster Diocese Will No Longer Place ChildrenLONDON, JUNE 26, 2009 (Zenit.org).- New gay rights legislation in Great Britain has forced one of the oldest adoption agencies in the nation to cease providing key services.
The Catholic Children's Society of the Archdiocese of Westminster announced last week it will cease placing children with adoptive and foster parents due to the enactment of the Sexual Orientation Regulations -- part of the 2006 Equality Act -- that stipulates that same-sex couples should be given equal consideration as prospective parents.
The agency, founded in 1859, said complying with the new regulations would go against Church teaching on marriage and the family, reports the Catholic Herald today.
The same regulations also caused the closing of the Catholic Children's Rescue Society of the Diocese of Salford last year.
A spokesman of the agency's trustees said the agency was "forced into this position as a result of the Government's Sexual Orientation Regulations."
The news laws contradict the agency's current "criterion that couples coming forward must be married as man and wife," the spokesman said.
"In the unanimous view of the trustees it would be totally unacceptable for our Catholic agency to act in a way that is at odds with the teaching of the Church," he added.
The agency will continue to support adoptions it has facilitated with counseling and other services.

Priesthood Is a Pilgrimage and Privilege
By Bishop Frederick Henry
CALGARY, Alberta, JUNE 26, 2009 (Zenit.org).- One of the great joys of my youth was to be an altar server. I was so taken by the Eucharist that I used to pretend to say Mass in my bedroom with my younger brothers acting as my altar servers.
It was always a challenge to teach them their Latin responses and, while I was not always the soul of patience, our mutual perseverance seemed to win the day and we didn't do too badly.
Being an altar server allowed me to see what the priest did up close. I can remember thinking what a privilege it was to be a priest and bring the Body and Blood of the Lord to people.
As I observed my pastor's activity, I noted that the people would bring their newborn children to him and say, "give them the faith, baptize them."
He always seemed to be there at the critical moments in their lives: weddings, sicknesses, funerals, and parties. I thought, "What a neat job!"
The possibility began to emerge in my consciousness that maybe God wanted me to be a priest.
Several years later, upon being appointed bishop of Calgary, I was being interviewed about my vocation on radio and I shared these early memories. It just so happened that my mother heard the interview and told me that I didn't quite get it right.
She explained that one day during Mass at the cathedral, while still a preschooler, I pointed to the priest and blurted out: "I'm going to be one of those guys."
Mysterious
I have no recollection of this event, but it taught me something of the mysterious nature of the working of God grace.
God's presence is not always obvious and God's actions are sometimes subtle and hidden. "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you came to birth, I consecrated you; I have appointed you as prophet to the nations" (Jeremiah 1:4-5).
Building on the internal drawing of God's grace, the identification with my pastor, the tapping on the shoulder by a religious sister who asked, "have you thought about becoming a priest?," the example and faith of my mother and father, and with the encouragement of my peers and people -- both those with faith and those without -- with whom I worked over the years, and the seminary formation personnel, together enabled God's call to be both clarified and confirmed.
One of my father's comments proved to be of particular importance in my formation.
We used to have many animated discussions around the kitchen table about religion and our parish activities. Sometimes, we would move into the realm of critical comments.
My father was always uncomfortable about criticism of any of our priests and he would repeatedly say: "Yes, but he is a holy man." I wasn't always convinced, but I began to understand the distinction between the office and the man.
God makes use of human instruments, imperfect men, whom he calls to continue the role and mission of the Apostles, to do what he did.
It is much like the Apostle Paul who could write: "I who am less than the least of all God's holy people, have been entrusted with this special grace, of proclaiming to the gentiles the unfathomable treasures of Christ" (Ephesians 3:8).
I was ordained a priest in 1968 and a bishop in 1986. It's been a wonderful journey, perhaps more aptly, a pilgrimage.
I remember, with considerable embarrassment, praying at the end of first theology before applying for tonsure: "Alright, God, I will be your priest, but I hope you realize all that I am giving up for you."
At the time I didn't understand: "In truth I tell you, there is no one who has left house, brothers, sisters, mother, father, children or land for my sake and for the sake of the Gospel who will not receive a hundred times as much, houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and land -- and persecutions too -- now in this present time and, in the world to come, eternal life" (Mark 10:29-31).
God has certainly not been stingy with his blessings.
Most of my experience of priesthood and the episcopacy has been lived under the motif of John 21.
I can readily identify with Peter as he was repeatedly questioned by Jesus, "Do you love me?" Peter's response is much like my own -- a measured, tested, but feeble and humble, "Yes, Lord, you know I love you."
Chosen
However, the really critical words are Jesus' rejoinder: "In all truth I tell you, when you were young you put on your own belt and walked where you liked; but when you grow old you will stretch your hands, and someone else will put a belt around you and take you where you would rather not go" (John 21:18).
I have never had one appointment that I would have chosen for myself.
As a result of my discernment in the seminary, I concluded that God wanted me to be a parish priest, not a member of a religious community and certainly not a teacher.
My first assignment as an associate pastor was to follow a very successful extroverted priest who had a special gift for working with young people. As an introvert, I did not want to follow him and thought that I had no gifts for working with young people.
I did not want to do postgraduate studies but was asked to do so by my bishop and so I consented. I would also teach for a number of years at the seminary.
I didn't want to become rector of the seminary, but rather to return to parish life and I told my bishop so. I added that I could only tell him where I was at, and that he, as bishop, would have to make the decision as to where I would serve based on the needs of the diocese. For my part, I would have to respond with faith and obedience. I thoroughly enjoyed being a seminary rector.
I didn't want to become an auxiliary bishop, but God's will be done. I didn't want to be an ordinary in either diocese where I was assigned.
However, by surrendering and letting myself be led by the Holy Spirit, each successive move became more satisfying and fulfilling than the previous one. So much so that, jokingly, I have said that I can't wait for the next move!
Nevertheless, I am really happy where I am and it goes without saying: I don't want to move.

Frederick Henry was ordained a priest for the Diocese of London, Ontario, on May 25, 1968. He was ordained an auxiliary bishop of the diocese on June 24, 1986. He has been the bishop of Calgary since 1998. Bishop Henry served as a Canadian delegate to the 1990 synod of bishops on the formation of priests, and was appointed as representative of the Holy See for the Apostolic Visitation of Canadian seminaries.

Holy Father's Address to French Seminary
"The Task of Forming Priests Is a Delicate Mission"VATICAN CITY, JUNE 26, 2009 (Zenit.org).- Here is a Vatican translation of the address Benedict XVI delivered June 6 upon receiving in audience the community of the French Seminary in Rome.
The audience coincided with the change of hands of the administration of the seminary from the Congregation of the Holy Spirit to the French episcopal conference.
* * *
Your Eminences,
Dear Brothers in the Episcopate,
Monsignor Rector,
Dear Priests and Seminarians,
I welcome you with joy on the occasion of the celebrations of these days that mark an important moment in the history of the Pontifical French Seminary in Rome. After a century and a half of faithful service, the Congregation of the Holy Spirit, which had been in charge of conducting the Seminary since its foundation, has now handed it over to the Bishops' Conference of France.
We must thank the Lord for the work carried out in this institution where, since it opened, almost 5,000 seminarians or young priests have been trained for their future vocation.
In acknowledging the work of the members of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit, Fathers and Brothers, I would like to entrust to the Lord in particular the apostolates which the Congregation founded by Venerable Fr Libermann preserves and develops across the world and most especially in Africa based on his charism which has lost none of its power and justice. May the Lord bless the Congregation and its missions.
The task of forming priests is a delicate mission. The formation offered by the Seminary is demanding, because a portion of the People of God will be entrusted to the pastoral solicitude of the future priests, the People that Christ saved and for whom he gave his life.
It is right for seminarians to remember that if the Church demands much of them it is because they are to care for those whom Christ ransomed at such a high price.
Many qualities are required of future priests: human maturity, spiritual qualities, apostolic zeal, intellectual rigour.... To achieve these virtues, candidates to the priesthood must not only be able to witness to them to their formation teachers but even more, they must be the first to benefit from these same qualities lived and shared by those who are in charge of helping them to attain maturity.
It is a law of our humanity and our faith that we are all too often capable of giving only what we ourselves have previously received from God through the ecclesial and human mediation that he has established. Those who are placed in charge of discernment and formation must remember that the hope they have for others is in the first place a duty for themselves.
This passing on of witnessing coincides with the beginning of the Year for Priests. This coincidence is a grace for the new team of priest-formation teachers gathered by the Bishops' Conference of France. While the team receives its mission, like the whole Church, it is given the possibility to examine more deeply the identity of the priest, a mystery of grace and mercy.
I would like to mention here the eminent figure of Cardinal Suhard, who said of Christ's ministers: "Eternal paradox of the priest. He bears within him those who are contrary. He reconciles, at the price of his life, fidelity to God with fidelity to man. He seems poor and feeble.... He has neither political power nor financial means, nor the force of arms that others use to conquer the earth. His strength lies in being unarmed and being "able to do all things in the One who gives him strength'" (Fulget Ecclesia, n. 141, p. 21, 14 December 1960).
May these words that so vividly evoke the figure of the Holy Curé d'Ars ring out as a vocational appeal to numerous young Christians in France who desire a useful and fruitful life in order to serve God's love.
The particular characteristic of the French Seminary is its location in the city of Peter; echoing the desire of Paul vi (cf. Address to the Alumni of the French Pontifical Seminary, 12 September 1968; ORE, 26 September 1968), I hope that during their stay in Rome the seminarians will give priority to becoming acquainted with the Church's history in order to discover the breadth of her catholicity and her living unity around the Successor of Peter, and that love of the Church will thus be rooted in their hearts for ever.
As I invoke upon you all the Lord's abundant graces through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St Clare and Blessed Pius ix, I very warmly impart the Apostolic Blessing to all of you and to your families, to the former seminarians who have been unable to come here and to all the Seminary's lay personnel.
