Podcast   This podcast made available from Vatican Radio Courtyard of the Gentiles in Paris Given below is the complete text of the Holy Father’s video message to participants in the “Courtyard of the Gentiles” in Paris, a meeting between believers and non-believers promoted by the Pontifical Council for Culture and dedicated to the theme “Enlightenment, religion, shared reason”. The event closed yesterday in Paris on the forecourt of the cathedral of Notre-Dame where the Pope’s message was broadcast on giant screens.  At the end of the message, the Holy Father invited those present to enter the Cathedral for a moment of prayer, which for some ‘may be a prayer to an unknown God’. Papal Video Message ….You non-believers call on believers, in particular, to offer the witness of a life coherent with the faith they profess, and you reject any deviation from religion which renders it inhuman. You believers wish to tell your friends that the treasure that is within you merits sharing, it needs to be announced, it requires reflection… Dear young people, dear friends! “I know that – at the invitation of Cardinal Andre Vingt-Trois, archbishop of Paris, and of Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, president of the Pontifical Council for Culture – you have gathered in large numbers on the forecourt of Notre-Dame de Paris. I greet you all, not forgetting our brothers and friends of the Taize Community. I am grateful to the pontifical council for having taken up and extended my invitation to open a ‘Courtyard of the Gentiles’ in the Church. The image of the courtyard evokes that vast open space near the Temple of Jerusalem where everyone who did not share the faith of Israel could approach the Temple and pose questions about that religion. There they could meet the scribes, discuss the faith and even pray to the God they did not know. And if, at that time, the Courtyard was also a place of exclusion because Gentiles did not have the right to enter the consecrated area, Jesus Christ came to ‘break down the dividing wall’ between Jews and Gentiles, so as to ‘reconcile both groups to God in one body through the cross, thus putting to death that hostility through it. So he came and proclaimed peace…’, as St. Paul tells us. “At the heart of the ‘City of Light’, in front of that magnificent masterpiece of French religious culture which is Notre-Dame, a great space has been opened to give fresh impetus to respectful and friendly encounter among people of differing convictions. You young people, believers and non-believers, have chosen to come together, this evening as in your everyday lives, to meet and to discuss the great questions of human existence. Many people today affirm that they do not belong to any religion, but wish for a new and freer world, more just and more united, more peaceful and happier. As I address you today, I consider everything you have to say to one another. You non-believers call on believers, in particular, to offer the witness of a life coherent with the faith they profess, and you reject any deviation from religion which renders it inhuman. You believers wish to tell your friends that the treasure that is within you merits sharing, it needs to be announced, it requires reflection. The question of God is not a danger to society, it does not imperil human life! The question of God must not be absent from the great questions of our time. “Dear friends, you must build bridges between one another. You must seize the opportunity that has been given you to seek, in the depths of your consciences and through solid and well-reasoned reflection, the ways to a profound dialogue. You have so much to say to one another. Do not close your conscien[...] Podcasts, Videos Kildare & Leighlin Diocese no no http://www.kandle.ie/2011/03/28/benedict-xvi-fosse-ardeatine/ http://www.kandle.ie/2011/03/28/benedict-xvi-fosse-ardeatine/#comments Mon, 28 Mar 2011 09:11:12 +0000 KandLe Team http://www.kandle.ie/?p=23507 http://www.kandle.ie/2011/03/28/benedict-xvi-fosse-ardeatine/feed/ 0 0:04:11 Benedict XVI visited Fosse Ardeatine near Rome to mark the 64th anniversary of the massacre of 335 Italians, which he called an “offense against God.” Podcast   Vatican Radio report on visit of Pope Benedict XVI to Fosse Ardeatine In God[...] Benedict XVI visited Fosse Ardeatine near Rome to mark the 64th anniversary of the massacre of 335 Italians, which he called an “offense against God.” Podcast   Vatican Radio report on visit of Pope Benedict XVI to Fosse Ardeatine In God “rests the sure guarantee of hope.” Benedict XVI paid homage today to the 335 Italians who were massacred in 1944 by the occupying Nazi forces at Fosse Ardeatine on the outskirts of Rome, which he called an “offense against God.” The Pope made a private visit to the commemorative monument to mark the 67th anniversary of the March 24 Ardeatine massacre, which was a reprisal for a March 23, 1944, attack on occupying German forces. Partisans of the Patriotic Action Group ignited a bomb as a column of German policemen marched through central Rome on Via Rasella. Thirty-three Germans died and Adolf Hitler approved a proposal that 10 Italians should be killed for each German casualty. The final toll of 335 Italians was due to a miscount in the hasty roundup, which included civilians, military prisoners of war and prisoners from Rome’s jails, as well as 75 Jews. “What happened here on March 24, 1944, is a deeply grave offense to God because it is deliberate violence of man against man,” the Pontiff stated. “It is the most execrable effect of war, of every war, while God is life, peace, communion.” Benedict XVI said he came to monument to “to pray and to renew the memory. I have come to invoke divine mercy, which alone can fill the voids, the chasms opened by men when, driven by blind violence, they renounce their dignity as sons of God and brothers.” He said that he came as the Bishop of Rome to “pay homage to these brothers, murdered a short distance from the ancient catacombs.” Benedict XVI read a short note that was found in the Fosse Ardeatine, written by one who had been murdered there: “God my great Father, we pray to you that you might protect the Jews from the barbaric persecutions. 1 Pater noster, 10 Ave Maria, 1 Gloria Patri.” The Holy Father reflected: “In that moment so tragic, so inhuman, in the heart of that person there was the greatest prayer: ‘God my Father,’ Father of all!” “In that name, ‘Father,’ there is the sure guarantee of hope,” the Pope said, “the possibility of a different future, free from hatred and revenge, a future of freedom and fraternity, for Rome, Italy, Europe, the world.” The Pontiff added: “In this place, a sorrowful memorial of the most horrendous evil, the truest response is to take each other’s hands, as brothers, and say: Our Father, we believe in you, and with the power of your love we want to walk together, in peace, in Rome, In Italy, in Europe, in the whole world. Amen.” Benedict XVI is the third Pope to visit the Fosse Ardeatine. Pope Paul VI went on Sept. 12, 1965, and Pope John Paul II on March 21, 1982. Full Text of Papal address Dear brothers and sisters! I gladly accepted the invitation of the “Associazione Nazionale tra le Famiglie Italiane dei Martiri caduti per la libertà della Patria” (National Association of the Italian Families of the Martyrs Who Fell for the Freedom of the Fatherland) to make a pilgrimage to this memorial, dear to all Italians, especially to the people of Rome. I greet the cardinal vicar, the chief rabbi, the president of the association, the commissary general, the director of the mausoleum and, in a special way, the relatives of the victims, and all those present. “I believe in God and in Italy / I believe in the resurrection / of the martyrs and heroes / I believe in the rebirth / of the fatherland and in / the freedom of the people.” These words were scratched on the wall of a torture cell on the Via Tasso in Rome during the Nazi occupation.
